Project 2025 & Fascism

Throughout the timeline, you'll find many things labelled "Project 2025" or "Fascism." Although so much of Project 2025 is fascist in nature, for the purpose of filtering this overwhelming amount of information, usually the most terrifying are labelled "Fascism." Overall, it's difficult to determine which articles should be labelled "Project 2025" or "Fascsim," as so many overlap.

The term "Fascism" is thrown around a lot, so here are some links that talk about the different types of government, including Fascism, Authoritarianism, and Totalitarianism. In short, all three are fascist in nature, but there are minor differences. Regardless of the term used, it is undeniable that the USA is losing its democracy and a psychopathic dictator is taking power.
