    Ever hear of "Cyber Ninjas"?

    You have a funny way of talking about election fraud and corruption. Decertification of elected Democrats followed by appointment of favored republican replacements you call "integrity".

    Look into Mussolini’s economic policies.
    If you put this rap sheet next to a D president, progressives would be naming streets after him in every city. Fascism relies on employers to enforce many policies. Vaccine mandates via OSHA must be ringing some bells now.
    I think progs confuse fascism with nazism. They always bend meanings of words, I guess we can excuse them. Hitlers economic policies were fairly conservative.

    Yes, you hit it on the head. Look into Mussolini's economic policies to determine his leftiness or rightiness...This is the traditional definition for righty and lefty in politics...Not this moronic and disingenuous 'factoid', for example, that only state-run gov'ts come from the right. I mean, some of the biggest state sponsored gov'ts came from the left: China, N. Korea and the former USSR, for examples.

    BTW, IMO, Hitler's economic policies were centrist because some of Hitler's economic policies were socialist and some were capitalist.
    Mussolini was a lefty and fascist. Hitler was a centrist and fascist. The USSR was far left and fascist. White nationalists are far right and fascist. White haters are far left and fascist. What makes Mussolini, Hitler, the USSR, white nationalists and white haters fascist is their high degree of authoritarianism and, sadly, IMO, America is drifting into a high degree of authoritarianism.

    Despite what definitions say fascism, as seen in Italy and Germany in the 1930's was a strong arm dictatorship coupled with government taking over some important industries. Luckily it hasn't reared its ugly head since that time

    Fascism became the reality in the US decades ago. Government and corporations (some) do each other's dirty work for a long time in this country.

    Yes. A dictator uses corporations to impose totalitarianism.

    Supreme Court justices on Friday appeared skeptical that the Biden administration has legal authority to impose a broad vaccination-or-testing requirement on large employers.
    Elizabeth B. Prelogar did an amazing job considering the crappy position she was in.
