Cracks me the fuck up the rest of the world thinks this now.

This has been the case since Bush passed Citizens United and it was even happening before that. RIP Rosenbergs.

I thought Citizens United was an Obama thing. Are you sure you don't mean the Patriot Act?

It happened during the Obama administration but it was in response to shit under Bush from people being critical of him/his admin. Obama did not support Citizens United.

I thought it was a Supreme Court thing? What did Obama do?

Not every bad law is fascism.

Both in a vacuum and in an atmosphere, if you call something fascism because of one bad law, you're doing nothing but deminishing and watering down the term. It means something, you know.
