    Ladies and gentlemen, this is how fascism arrived.

    Sure, it’s all in good fun, and the ballroom is just an upgrade for the people, and the illegals dying in detention, aren’t dying because they were detained, just coincidentally dying in captivity. Let’s always look for the silver lining in the sturmwolke.

        You didn’t, but this is the sort of sentiment that aligns:

        Everyone I know has been roasting the patriot games, but… it sounds sort of fun???

        It might, if it was anything other than a spectacle in service of dear leader. They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

          So… why didnt you just say “I fear this is just a front to instill reactionary patriotism for the greater purpose of ushering in American fascism - akin to the Hitler youth”

          And instead smugly claimed I was ushering in fascism??

          It’s a fair point, and I’d have conceded it to you…
