Oh, okay, so you're walking back your prior claims. Cool. Glad we're in agreement that claiming the US as fascist or 'fascist-adjacent' post-WW2 is ridiculous.
"Abducting specialists is fascism, and the more specialists you abduct, the more fascism it is"
"No, you CANNOT use examples of increasing liberalism in the US to counter claims of fascism in the US, that's whataboutism"
Okay, buddy. You have fun with that.
Wow dude you missed the point entirely.
I love how you pretend that a huge portion of the US didn't support and continue to support fascism and Nazis.
I mean you're peak willful ignorance and obtuse.
Would you like to remind me about the support carried by the German-American Bund and the Silver Shirts, and compare that to literally any other political group in the US at the time?
(PROTIP: combined, they didn't even have a tenth of the membership of the CPUSA, which, itself, was a minor player in American politics of the period)
Yeah. The high ranking Nazis recruited in operations Paperclip and Bloodstone which went on to enjoy comfortable lives and retirements in the US were "abducted", sure. /s
