    It was fascism this time 12 months ago when Trump had women and people of colors plaques and images covered at national museums and at nasa.

    When they banned words from research. Like: women. Female. Bias, transgender, equality. Privilege.

    When they prosecuted women as murderers for having a safe first trimester termination of pregnancy.

    When they started demanding a woman must die before any medical procedures would be performed that could harm a fetus, even if that fetus was dead or non viable.

    When they removed black veterans stories from the VA websites and other government websites.

    When they changed the dod to the department of war.

    My gawd. This all started a year ago. It was fascism then.

      Sure, all of that is true.

      Why would you (not you, daannii, the general ‘you’) want to alienate an ally by rubbing that in their face?

      You get a little emotional boost by feeling self-righteous in exchange for helping splinter the enemies of Fascism.

      Welcome converts, don’t spit on them.
