Week 2 Blog prompt assignment

I am currently a member of the Defiance College community,I joined back in August of 2016 a year and a half after graduating from high school and things have gone pretty smoothly since then,aside from your average everyday bump here and there of course. I'll be a member of Defiance college for the next three to four years,until I graduate from here and either move onto Full Sail University or wind up working for my Dad's business up in Rhode Island. I've enjoyed my time in this community due to the amazing people that belong to it. And that is what really makes a difference.

Week Five Blog Post

Both of the below linked articles address two different dangerous political ideologies that have sprouted up recently. The first article America First contains a short synopsis of an ideology called America First,which according to the author of the article is a nearly the same as a similarly named pro-nazi movement that fought against Roosevelt before the United States entered WW2. Citing several random blog posts from years ago written by Trump's now political adviser Stephen Bannon about him allegedly admiring Nazis and Vlad Putin and somehow conflating the two together as being one thing. The second article Anti Democracy talks about another dangerous political ideology called "The alt-right" the author of this article then cites several posts by someone who appears to be deep into this movement named Yarvin, whom has been in contact with Stephen Bannon again allegedly spouting utter nonsense that the political adviser seems to take to heart without question. If either group was to take hold of politics in America the whole country would be in trouble,meaning Nazis would most likely take over the planet according to the authors of both articles and the evidence that they provide.
