I wonder if the US population understands that the entire world now knows the US is under a fascist regime and is cutting ties as fast as possible. The economic repercussions of this regime will be felt for years to come. Look at the USD/EUR or USD/CAD exchange rates over the last year.

edit: thanks for the downvotes. I know political comments are frowned upon on HN and that is fine. I tried to be factual but my tone was probably off.

Hello. There is a paramilitary force murdering people with impunity. The president and its administration consider themselves above the law. They encourage political violence against their enemies. They use state power to punish dissent. Corporatism reigns. Minorities and intellectuals are scapegoated.

I'm going to say you're the one who doesn't understand the word "fascist".

It's a spectrum and the changes are gradual, but if you zoom out, would you say the current administration is more or less fascist than the previous ones?

The US economy might be booming yes but I was referring to how it relates internationally. The value of the US dollar is on a downward trend. Trump might be pushing Buy America but for the rest of the world, it's Sell America.
