If your worldview is based on news you are consuming, then I would like to avoid the discussion.

No, I don’t see the US descending into fascism. Quite the opposite. But the EU unfortunately does, and that saddens me a lot.

If your world view is based on "alternative facts", then I agree discussion is pretty much pointless. If the US isn't descending into fascism, it's only because it's already arrived there.

I'm not denying that the EU also has rising fascism, but they're not in power the way they are in the US.
