I'm going to keep banging on this website, of definitions of fascism. And also, for the time being, is also hanging in short form at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause

Labor Power is Suppressed

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

These are all elements of fascism, and is directly on display. We are living in a country being invaded by fascists from within the republican party.

And to my knowledge, no fascist government willingly cedes power. All have required extreme violence (aka war) to oust them. And most also have done so with Communist and Socialist allies (see Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, et merde).

In a way, it might be safer for the H1B's abroad to stay away. Wish I had an exit plan as well.
