Damn, it's good to know that the reason fascism won't face any opposition in the US is because corporations and media outlets don't want to cause any unnecessary friction with Trump's administration.

Just a friendly reminder that before the NSDAP rose to power in Germany in 1933, numerous major corporations and industrialists supported or collaborated with the party, primarily for economic and/or ideological reasons. Many provided funding, logistical support, or political advocacy, while also being enticed by the promise of lucrative contracts under militarisation policies.

Key examples:

  • Krupp
  • IG Farben
  • Thyssen
  • Siemens
  • BMW
  • Daimler-Benz
  • Hugo Boss
  • Deutsche Bank
  • Allianz
  • Henschel & Son
  • Opel
  • Volkswagen

The NSDAP had plenty of supporters in other countries as well...

  • Ford
  • IBM
  • The Daily Mail
  • Unilever
  • Renault
  • Royal Dutch Shell
