Objectively true. 2020 wasn’t even the first coup plot by Republicans and the wealthy. Fascism has been an unaddressed issue in the United States since at least the 1930s. Technically the actions of the United States over the last century play a significant part in why fascism is resurgent throughout Europe. The United States overthrew democratic governments in the middle east and south America. Replacing them with fascistic dictators throughout the mid 20th century. The fascists in the federalist society, senate, house, supreme court and the rest of the judiciary. Didn’t just pop into existence randomly.

They all have roots that go back decades and decades. Long before Trump. Or any Bushes. Before Reagan or Nixon. This shit festered in the open. But at the time, most Americans were too content to care. Giving up hard won victories and rights all on specious fascist promises.

Between the internet and things finally getting bad enough that people couldn’t ignore it anymore. People are finally starting to pay attention and realize what’s been happening all this time. But literally no things didn’t. All the sudden get so much worse. Trump was just the final turd that broke the camel’s back.
