Money is even secondary, it is complicit with the far right. I saw a post on another thread that said that the Libertarian party is dead, the party may be dead but libertarians run this country, the M$M is complicit with the far right.

There are many good reporters but they all must toe the line in sticking to the far right narratives. I refuse to watch anything on cable news other than Nicolle and Rachel, I'm afraid of catching a reich winged bug.

And a follow-up question: whose interests are the Republican Party actually representing?

Fascism is a form of government which is a type of one-party dictatorship. Fascists are against democracy. ... Fascism puts nation and often race above the individual. It stands for a centralized government headed by a dictator. Historically, fascist governments tend to be militaristic, and racist.
