Oh PS , everyone ….. I meant to ask that you be specific when stating what you think makes Trump a facist.
Duhhh.
@AverageJoe1 saidBecause to the everlasting anguish of people like you and Trump, we still have a Constitution.
Specific answers, please, none of the Sunhouse triads and speculations and opinions and hate.
How specifically is Trump a fascist.?? let’s put this one too bad, I am tired of hearing about it. You have been saying it for 11 years. I do not live under fascism. So what is it?
And the way America works is "Constitution über alles."

"Fascist negations" – anti-liberalism, anti-communism, and anti-conservatism.
Do you need an example?
"Fascist goals" – the creation of a nationalist dictatorship to regulate economic structure and to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture, and the expansion of the nation into an empire.
"No need to vote again"
Posting a video of himself as king.
Trying to wrestle a Nobel Prize from the Nobel commmittee
Trying to lecture the supreme court after they did deide against his wishes.
Talkning down to the Pope...
"Fascist style" – a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth, and charismatic authoritarian leadership.
Writing his actual name on the Kennedy Center
Writing his name on a government susidy program e.g. TrumpRx
Being proud about the military and its might in the opinion it is fro his personal gain.

@AverageJoe1 saidWhy be specific?
I meant to ask that you’d be specific in stating what makes Trump a fascist.
You won't hear it anyways, and we don't have that kind of time.
We'd be typing all day for a post you'll never read.

3, we need even stronger miltary,,,,nothing fascist about it

7,8 subjective
9 ha ha ha, he has been attacked by all of you hyenas and every media outlet for 11 years. Let’s give him a little leeway to attack them back. Remember that he actually discovered fake news. No one has ever denied that.
All the rest is born from opinions and subjective. I asked for specific examples of something that he did on maybe a certain date that caused the resulting state of fascism.
You got nothing. Y’all throw that word around so much that we are laughing at it or ignoring it. He’s been there for 11 years, and just for the record if we the next Republican presidency, he will still be running this country, even if you have put him in chains.
if I love ice, and you hate ice, then we cannot call it fascism can we? It is a subjective conclusion by each of us.
Specifics please.
Oh, I looked up the word dictator and it does not describe Donald Trump. I am sorry to tell you.

@Suzianne saidSpecie answers please. And could you relate your answers to the definition of fascism, that is, to make his actions of fascism actually amount to the tenets of fascism?
Because to the everlasting anguish of people like you and Trump, we still have a Constitution.

Wild grass just above seems to really be wrestling with it. It is like you are two dancing on a dance floor..

No, that makes you a fascist.
Lots of people like fascism. It makes you feel safe, like you're part of an elite club with a strongman leader and kicking butt on the world stage. It's still fascism.
@Ponderable saidAre you for real. And your pussy comment at the bottom makes you sound like a queer. Are there no men among you. Nothing personal.
ayne's definition of fascism focuses on three concepts:[32]
"Fascist negations" – anti-liberalism, anti-communism, and anti-conservatism.

OK.
Opposing ideologies isn’t unique to fascism….almost every political movement does that. What matters is whether opposition is suppressed, not just criticized. Common sense, which you obviously lack.
Since Trump began in 2016, all parties have operated , freely critics have spoken freely , no banning of any rival ideologies. You are so wrong. You need to get familiar with the definition of fascism.
You are guilty of TDSism. , that’s all.
“No need to vote again”
Posting himself as king
Arguing with courts, Pope, Nobel committee. There is the queer in you again, this is a simple rhetoric. Maybe some ego but it is not policy, get a grip. Can you write better than this? This is like Susie Anne except longer.
There’s a difference between saying provocative or even foolish things and actually establishing a dictatorship.
You are gaily writing about his tone and his personality and mixing it up with fascism. He is a strong man. Dems are considered the weaker party of the two, so I can understand why you think he should not be so strong.
You are really off the mark and have not really said anything
@AverageJoe1 saidMAGA fits the precise definition of leader aggrandizement, and is therefore not subjective. "I alone can fix it". The guilding of the oval office. His name and face on buildings. People flying flags and wearing hats with dear leader's name on it. His statement to the NY times last month when asked about limits to his authority was “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
