1/ Why don't Americans pay close attention to the Republican Party's fascist movements before it's too late?
Why do people not recognize fascism as a serious domestic threat?
Why don't they care that white nationalism is on the rise in the United States? Image
2/ Can they not see what is going on in America?
The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks anti-Semitic behavior nationwide, found 2,717 incidents in 2021. That's a 34% rise from the year before.
3/People should keep in mind that antisemitic acts were going down in the United States for over 15 years, and then, in 2016, after Trump became president, they started to move up.
The use of violence by Trump's followers, by extreme far-right-wing politicians (like MTG), and by

1/ What is happening in America? Why are politicians dictating what educators can say or not say in their classrooms?
Is it accurate to suggest that most of Hitler's initiatives in Nazi Germany are emulated and followed by Republicans? You decide!
2/ It’s happening not just in Florida, but all over the United States! 35 mainly Republican states have introduced 137 bills limiting what schools can teach with regard to race, American history, politics, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Image
3/ Similar to what the Nazis did after they arose to power in 1933. Hitler's totalitarian government exercised complete control over the people, infusing Nazi ideology into every institution and infiltrating it with Nazi personnel in key positions.
Schools were no exception.

The Nazis in Germany - just like De(ath)Santis in Florida -, aimed to de-intellectualise education: they did not want education to provoke people to ask questions or think for themselves. original.newsbreak.com/@matthew-c-woo…
The Nazis first focused on changing what students learned - just like De(ath)Santis.
Hitler changed the core curriculum to emphasise sports,history & racial science as the most important subjects.
Education in "racial awareness" began at school!
De(ath)Santis "Stop Woke" act, the officially named “Individual Freedom Act”(Sic). sets limits on how issues involving race (CRT) may be taught in classrooms of public universities, what undermines the universities’ academic freedom!

Can people call Florida’ governor, Governor De(ath)Santis Fascist? You decide!
The mainstream media call his governorship ‘authoritarianism’.
Authoritarianism implies the absence of democracy—a dictatorship. Image
In some ways, we can agree with them that De(ath)Santis's governing style fits the definition of dictatorship.
How about to call it Fascism? Or call him Fascist?
Fascism originated from the Latin word "fasces," which denotes a bundle of wooden rods that typically included a protruding axe blade and was carried by leaders to symbolize the ultimate power of the person.

Moving to Florida? Think about it!
Florida has always been a little different. Well, a lot different. Every day, strange news comes out of Florida, and the machete is just another example of an alarming trend of crimes committed with that type of weapon.
When you hear about machete attacks, you can't help but think about how they happen more frequently in Florida than in any other state.
There are quite a few machete-related crime stories; here are some short versions some of those incidents:
- Machete-wielding naked man attacked mailboxes; - Man seriously injured in machete, baseball bat attack;
- Naked man wearing cowboy hat attacks woman with machete in Medley;
- Man arrested in brutal machete attack on woman in the Waffle House.
