I doubt it will be as easy in a fascist police state.
America is a fascist police state right now
Police reaction to protests was about the same under both trump and Biden
America is not a fascist state. Elements of fascism are baked into the system and continue to creep out of the woodwork, but let's not wear our the significance of fascism by equating the modern United States to Nazi Germany. Hyperbole at best.
And yes, police are a serious problem in the U.S., but Trump wants to give them total leeway and freedom to enact "one day of violence" and just take out political dissidents and undesirables. They are just not the same and acting like they are is delusional at best and intentionally muddying the water at worst.
