- Stop acting like you weren't basking in righteous glory when the actual fascist party of America was trying to ban Fox News, and even get them cancelled entirely
- Jimmy Kimmel wasn't being a comedian, he was being a vile, hateful, disgusting loser, and people like him actually don't belong on TV any more than public executions do
- CNN is not a news channel, they're not even infotainment. CNN is disgusting garbage, and you should be embarrassed by them, not sticking up for them.

If you look at the dishonesty of the news and the level of anger and hatred between political parties from before and after Obama, and then those Russian FB ads in 2016, it's actually true that it's a dark age right now.
Right?
That level of hatred between parties didn't seem like it was just over the horizon in 2013, before Obama started pretending that M Brown was killed for walking black.
And for any that may have forgotten, the Russians didn't "support Trump" in 2016. The actual fact of the matter was that the Russians paid for FB ads targeting both parties in order to sow discord. Then the Russian collusion BS started and suddenly even the FBI was committing serious crimes.
A few inciteful comments by Obama and a few hundred thousand dollars worth of FBS ads have America almost completely split in two. People are cheering when their fellow Americans are killed now, just over politics.

So using the gov't to manipulate the press, silence opposition, tamp down peaceful protest, use masked "police" to suppress, harass, jail, and even murder with impunity, to have the court system "legally" give a POTUS immunity from committing crimes, forcing impregnated rape/incest victims to have that baby ... that's not fascism to you until there're a number of public executions. Have I got that right?

When a gov't and leader wants to impose their view of what should be taught and who should be teaching it that is much closer to fascism then socialism.
America has never seen anything like that and for good reason because then the next POTUS can dictate to southern State universities they need more liberal arts and humanities etc.
That is not like very broad based rules the government SETS FOR ALL universities who take the funding and this is targeting by partisan bias.
And beyond just "funding" the Trump admin was targeting and threatening them at multiple levels with many agencies with the threat of making them spend enormous money defending or bullying them to just comply. Again imagine Obama doing that across Southern schools.
And it is not about 'what threats and what programs' even. It is about the government DECIDING this is their roll. That big FEDERAL gov't and not States and local University Boards is best to determine how and what Universities teach. That is the fascism layer before you even get into the tactics.

I disagree, you are being too vague. If government is setting a curriculum of reading, math, and general liberal arts, that is politically neutral, that, at worst, is socialism. Fascism, or it's more virulent cousin, Communism, tend towards politicizing and propagandizing education with the intent of righthink and indoctrination.
If they take federal funds, the feds--Democrat or Republican--can dictate terms for acceptance of that money.

Ya trying to use gov't cohersion to demand universities not allow things like certain student protests, etc and to dictate curriculum AGAIN is nothing like has been done in American history. It is anti free speech and anti free association and trying to set the path by which people MUST live.
Again, if this was Obama or Biden dictating to Southern Universities they must be more liberal you would not be making your arguments and you would be screaming from the roof top but because you exist in solely a partisan lens you can only see at bad if a Dem does and good if a Trump does.

If a private enterprise, business, university, whatever takes federal funds for something, it is subject to some degree of federal control. University administrations rarely, if ever, condone or back student protests. If the feds in giving a university funds, says "You have to put down student protests" then that's how it is. The students can protest off campus. Nothing illegal about that.
I'd be making the same argument. This isn't about Trump. It's about what is legal contractually and constitutionally.

It's a hot mess! University (private or state) vs. State vs. Federal vs. Constitution. A Headache that IMHO has to walk the tight-rope of equal justice to avoid hypocrisy.
