Feel free to correct me....
Everyone I know has been roasting the patriot games, but... it sounds sort of fun??? Given how bad Americans are at exercise, socialization, and community, some sporting events might be fun and good?
Like, I could see this being an absolute dream for high-achieving student athletes.
However, this is all tempered by the fact that the announcement itself was steeped in transphobia. If that weren't the case, Id be less skeptical.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how fascism arrived.
Sure, it’s all in good fun, and the ballroom is just an upgrade for the people, and the illegals dying in detention, aren’t dying because they were detained, just coincidentally dying in captivity. Let’s always look for the silver lining in the sturmwolke.

So... why didnt you just say "I fear this is just a front to instill reactionary patriotism for the greater purpose of ushering in American fascism - akin to the Hitler youth"

It's a fair point, and I'd have conceded it to you...
Because whitewashing fascism is supporting it and I'm tired of giving people who are part of the problem grace.
