The gold and silver mines in South America were productive in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries . . . not so much in the US. Hard to imagine that the owners wouldn't use slave labor to make them that much more profitable. Then again, they might have enslaved indigenous populations for that work . . . .

Dammit, you know 5 syllable words are not allowed on the Cooler, Comrade Moderator.
First gold in the US was found in N. Carolina.
I never heard of slaves or indigenous people working them, but I need to do some research, since we live around it - there's a gold mind about 10 miles down the road.

Maybe. The R governor candidates in MD and PA are (or recently were) on Gab social media. Here's the Wiki description:
Gab (social network)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGab is an American alt-tech microblogging and social networking service known for its far-right userbase.[2][3][4] Widely described as a haven for neo-Nazis, racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, antisemites, the alt-right, supporters of Donald Trump, conservatives, right-libertarians, and believers in conspiracy theories such as QAnon,[5] Gab has attracted users and groups who have been banned from other social media platforms and users seeking alternatives to mainstream social media platforms.[6][7][8] Founded in 2016 and launched publicly in May 2017,[3][9] Gab claims to promote free speech, individual liberty, the "free flow of information online", and Christian values.[10][11][12][13] Researchers and journalists have characterized these assertions as an obfuscation of its extremist ecosystem.[11][14] Antisemitism is prominent in the site's content and the company itself has engaged in antisemitic commentary. Gab CEO Andrew Torba has promoted the white genocide conspiracy theory.[11][12][13][15] Gab is based in Pennsylvania.[16]
You have to get something to three or four words or less if you want republican voters to be able to constantly repeat it.He actually said the “extreme MAGA Republican philosophy” is “semi-fascist.”
Applying the dictionary definition, it’s certainly ultra-nationalist. Considering the white nationalist and religious right elements there is some aspect of the ethni-religious focus. I don’t know that the people in that group would want Trump to have autocratic control. Although with the cult of personality he’s built, I don’t know they wouldn’t.
In any event, the people described are a lot closer to the definition of fascist than the democrats are to the dictionary definition of communist, I.e, state control of the means of production, but that doesn’t stop anyone from making those pronouncements.

You truly need to do some reading on this. Your viewpoint not only dismissed science but also totally lacks empathy and compassion. You certainly show disdainmwnt for people you don’t understand at all.
