Pride has a habit of clouding judgement. Just be compassionate for these types of Americans. They are a proud bunch. It's not easy giving 50% of your tax dollars to the military every year. The cost of freedom right?
I wouldn't expect a lefty from Berkeley to do basic math. Proposed 2020 budget 4.746 Trillion.

Military spending was included in the budget. The biggest expense was the Department of Defense base budget at $576 billion. Overseas Contingency Operations were estimated to cost approximately $174 billion. That pays for the war on terror costs triggered by the 9/11 attacks. These include ongoing costs from the war in Iraq and the Afghanistan war.

Military spending included $212.9 billion for defense-related departments. These include Homeland Security, the State Department, and Veterans Affairs. These departments also receive emergency funding of $26.1 billion. Add it up, and the total U.S. spending on defense is $989 billion.

20.84% of total budget.

I already admit, I'm bad at math but even a bad math person knows we spend a lot more than every other country on thier milijtary, and even in terms of % of total budget. I'm not from Berkeley either, I put it there to show how warped you are when you get stereotype triggered, duh.

They are a proud bunch, but then there are no shortage of things to be proud of in America. Where the dialog has moved though, over the last 30 years, is away from things to be proud of and toward things to be angry about or afraid of. It's created a polar climate where open discussion and a fair exchange of ideas has a hard time operating.

We'd be a lot better off if people stopped believing they were entitled to anything. Your existence entitles you to the struggle that is called life. Welcome to reality.

How do you even talk to this lefty puppy when he doesn't even understand where fascism lies on the political spectrum? News flash little puppy, it lies on the LEFT! Listen to some of the crap Hitler was spewing in the 30's and then listen to what vomits from the Brownshirt left today. The stupidity of todays brainwashed college youth just takes your breath away. But, I suppose they just gobble up the crap the socialist controlled humanities departments serve up with zero desire to actually dig in and read history.

Fascism = socialism.

I know what fascism and socialism look like. Lots of innocent people being imprisoned and murdered by their government.

The only way to fix the political land scape and have the government finally work for us is to limit term in office to only one term

Sorry, I'm not following, but Im just a dumb lib. They seem like discrete implementations of government, not synonyms

Both act the same when they obtain power suppress the people and rule with terror.

Cool story bro.
LOL at google sourcing. Try looking at real history books before the left got to them. The further RIGHT you go on the political spectrum means less and less government control of the individual. The further LEFT you go on the political spectrum spectrum means the government has MORE control over the individual. Lefties tried to assign Fascism to the right as a LIE to cover up their own BROWNSHIRT agenda. What a sad little lefty BOT you are.

Joseph Stalin
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Stalin was the subject of a pervasive personality cult within the international Marxist–Leninist movement which revered him as a champion of the working class and socialism. Stalin's regime was responsible for 9 million deaths, with 6 million of these being deliberate killings. He notes that the estimate is far lower than the estimates of 20 million or above which were made before access to the archives.[892]

Fascism emphasizes direct action, including supporting the legitimacy of political violence, as a core part of its politics.[11][225] Fascism views violent action as a necessity in politics that fascism identifies as being an "endless struggle".[226] This emphasis on the use of political violence means that most fascist parties have also created their own private militias (e.g. the Nazi Party's Brown shirts and Fascist Italy's Blackshirts).

The basis of fascism's support of violent action in politics is connected to social Darwinism.[226] Fascist movements have commonly held social Darwinist views of nations, races and societies.[227] They say that nations and races must purge themselves of socially and biologically weak or degenerate people, while simultaneously promoting the creation of strong people, in order to survive in a world defined by perpetual national and racial conflict.[228]
