> An authoritarian regime grows the size of the state to cement its power

| The OBBBA adds $170 billion for immigration enforcement agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) [1]

> Biden, and Biden-aligned judges weaponised the law against Trump, with spurious cases and fines

Trump has weaponized the DOJ [2]

Trump was convicted of felonies and other crimes; They were not spurious. He claims that he was targeted and a victim but he is also a well-known scam artist. "Accusation in a mirror" [3] fits much of his rhetoric.

> Trump has not done anything similar against Harris, Clinton or Biden

Does "Lock her up!" ring any bells?

Why doesn't Trump's "Hunter Biden" hunt register here?

> Compare what happened in Democrat cities in the wake of George Floyd's death vs what's happening in Republican areas after Charlie Kirk's assasination

It's telling that you say "death" vs "assassination" in the two cases; George Floyd was murdered. The "riots and looting" you speak of are contested as being a separate act unrelated to the original message through peaceful protest. Maybe choose a better example... and maybe one that isn't as recently charged ... and one that isn't being widely compared to Horst Wessel.

> Trying to extrapolate a "fascist" future version of the current Trump regime ...

I'm not; It's already fascist right here, right now.
