      Given their posting history, I’m sure OP will find a way to say it’s Biden and the Democratic party’s fault.

      Looking at the states through this lens is like all the articles that blame “congress” while ignoring which people in which party of which half of congress caused the issue of the day.

      There are a multitude of reasons why this metric would come to be, but according to the comments here the important part is to keep saying “America sucks right now” without identifying any realistic solutions.

      Best you’ll get is a half assed hand wave of people mumbling about Karl Marx like that helps anything.

      Actually yes… fascism is a natural consequence of late-stage capitalism as it’s one way to keep the exploited masses under control by focussing their anger away from the wealthy leaders.

        What historical precedents would you cite as examples of your statement, “fascism is a natural consequence of late-stage capitalism”?
