    Thats true, but the Nazis lost and Bravaria is still there.

    Eventually US fascism will loose, and I dont want to give up my access to return and explore that gorgeous wilderness when it does

      Eventually US fascism will loose

      It’s true, but…

      The 3rd Reich lasted 12 years and had been 10 years in the making when Hitler took power.

      The US had been a crypto-fascist state since 2001, since Dubya started the nazification of America with the USA Patriot Act and Gitmo. That’s 24 years ago - 24 years that I’ve stayed clear away from that dangerous place. So it took 2.4 time longer to turn actively fascist than Germany.

      Now it’s a fully fledged fascist state. If history is any indication, it might take 30 years to be defeated. Even if it took only 15, I’m old enough that I might not be around to enjoy a return trip to a democratic USA.
