Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

If it helps, most of us hate what's going on. Even a lot of republican voters have woken up and realized what's going on. Sadly, however, it's too late.
Thanks. I know. But it doesn't really help until something concrete actually develops from that hate.
Fun fact: At its absolute height, in 1945, 10% of Germans were members of the nazi party NSDAP.
That was enough to correctly label the entire country as "Nazi Germany".
In 2025, 45% of Americans support the Republican Party in anonymous polls. Draw your conclusions.
While I don't disagree with the essence of what you're saying, those numbers are a bit misleading. There's only about 38.8 registered Republicans in the US which comes to about 11.1% of the US population.
Even if you take the 2024 election results, only about 22.6% of the population voted Republican
Which is more than 10% at the height of Nazi Germany, when party membership was required for many career paths
In the last elections in Germany 1933, 26.4% of the population voted for the Nazi party.
And that was with armed SA thugs at the entrances to the voting booths.
Like I said, I still agree with the comparison and even more now that I see both numbers. But the initial numbers you used were not as related as the comment made them seem
I know they were a bit misleading, but the only reason for that is: I couldn't find actual numbers for GOP membership after 15 minutes of searching.
My point still stands: It doesn't require support from a majority of the population for a country to become fascist.
And currently, there is enough support to turn the US into a fascist country.
