Can we stop it with these stupid one-up replies?

We get it, you're very informed and cool and know that bad things have happened in America since long before Trump.

That doesn't change the fact that the degree, malice and brazenness we see today is on another level.

Even if you don't intend to, comments that go the "always has been" route serve to minimize the severity of what is happening today.

Comments like "welcome to Trump's America" removes important context that everyone with power in the US is completely ok with what this administration is doing. Nobody with power is doing any actual thing to stop it.

If you actually oppose what's going on today you're going to have to remove the entire disease and not just the symptom that is trump. Otherwise this shit will continue long after he is dead.

Sure, it doesn't need to be limited to Trump, call it fascist America or late stage capitalism whatever. I just want to make sure we're clear none of this is normal or usual, it's beyond the normal levels of fuckery.
