Thanks a bunch.

Just to apply the checklist to the US :

1 - Not anymore. People haven't been thrown in jail for speech.

2 - Not really. applying the laws to criminal behavior is not punishing the opposition. The previous administration did launch a bunch of frivelous lawsuits against their political opponents.

3 - Id say yes, using the national guard.

4 - Not really, but it does tie clear opposition to the state as grounds to reject citizenship. So... I'd say it is still reasonnable but I see the slippery slope here.

My estimation here is that in some aspects it's getting to fascism and in others it's not. Kindof a wash for now.

Did I apply the checklist correctly?
