  • Pill Pod 210 - New York Times LIES about "Fascism Experts" fleeing Trump

    Pill Pod 210 - New York Times LIES about "Fascism Experts" fleeing Trump
    May 31 2025
    The New York Times has claimed that three "fascism experts" are fleeing Trump and "going abroad". In truth, these are not (all) fascism experts, and they did not flee, in fact they have been in Canada for almost a year because they got jobs at the University of Toronto. We looked into their research, which is the same tired, lib, horseshoe theory bullshit that Nazism and Communism are the same thing.
