AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>And for those of you looking to do a little extra reading on the objectively fascist think tank mentioned in these posts, The Claremont Institute, here's a 2023 article from The New Republic that should be quite enlightening and alarming:</p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240815165400/https://newrepublic.com/article/174656/claremont-institute-think-tank-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2024081516</span><span class="invisible">5400/https://newrepublic.com/article/174656/claremont-institute-think-tank-trump</span></a></p><p>"Extremism of the right-wing variety has always figured on the sidelines of American culture, and it has enjoyed a renaissance with the rise of social media. But Claremont represents something new in modern American politics: a group of people, not internet conspiracy freaks but credentialed and influential leaders, who are openly contemptuous of democracy. And they stand a reasonable chance of being seated at the highest levels of government—at the right hand of a President Trump or a President DeSantis, for example."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClaremontInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClaremontInstitute</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ThinkTank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkTank</span></a></p>
