Yes, the US government seems to be trying to make a fascist takeover. Treating the citizens like slaves of the government heads is basically what every ultra-authoritarian government does.

This has happened before in many places all over the world, it will unfortunately keep happening, but we got through a period where its frequency was reduced. It would be good not to go back into it being common, and the 9point6’s comment is right on the spot on how to avoid it.

Anyway, nothing is settled, and the US’s future is looking brighter than 2 weeks ago.
