Ed The Fascism Checklist, Trump 2025

[Norman Alexander]

The Rebel Alliance was inspired by the Viet Cong, who were pretty far to the left, so I guess that checks out. Watch for X-Wings --some of their pilots used to bullseye womp rats, so they'd probably be able to land a hit on Drumpf, who's not much smaller than two meters in width.

In the canyons of LA.

How about Trump threatening there will be "consequences" if a private citizen* makes legal donations to opposing politicians? (*Musk)

Deleted section about legally question things regarding my opinion of Trump. I don't like him.

But that is what drives me nuts about the Trump is a fascist thing. He's not, he's an authoritarian for sure but there is no ideology beyond that, he just wants people to do what he tells them with no limits. The realitly that folks on the left have said everyone to the right of them is a fascist for 70 years, just makes the fascist thing useless. It is the equivalent of some righty calling someone a commie or neo marxist, just makes folks roll their eyes.

And, he's not a fascist, he's not smart enough to be a fascist. He listens to fascist but then he also listens to morons.

All that being said, he is the worst person that has ever held the office.

The other thing is that my unwillingness to call him a fascist and my willingness to say anyone that does is...well fairly ignorant somehow means i'm a magachud. It's all frustrating.

Yes, how very sad for you. While Trump’s secret police lawlessly invade American cIties, obviously the single most important issue we should be discussing is the correct usage of the term “fascism”. A totally not insane hill to die on.

Wait, are you implying that 'Dump might be a textbook fascist, but I think the term is overused so he's not fascist after all' isn't convincing reasoning?

I was so worried that my country might be sliding into fascism. Imagine my relief to learn that it is actually only sliding into totalitarianism.

 

[dirtywick]

well if you think about it, it's really the left's fault. calling totalitarianists fascists is really what pushed them to the right into totalitarianism's waiting arms. they should have just been nicer to them.

"Erm, no, actually that's a cheetah."

There isn't a funny but seriously this is an important point moji.

Just because you're too cowardly to admit to your political ideology, doesn't mean we have to stop calling you out on it.

And don't for a minute think that anybody with an ounce of intelligence doesn't cop your pretended dislike of TACO.

I'm afraid it's a distraction without a difference. He listens to fascists, he implementing their policies. What he personally believes in (his own entitlement) is pretty irrelevant.

Can we call Trump a fascist yet or do the semantics police have more contortions to twist themselves into?

We must expand efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside.

These, and other such cities, are the core of the Democrat power center, where they use Illegal aliens to expand their voter base, cheat in elections, and grow the welfare state, robbing good paying jobs and benefits from hardworking American citizens.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Oh no! Not the welfare state!

To be fair, I think this latest deportation missive/proclamation/ordnung is all pretty much Stephen Miller.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Declaring war on "blue" cities isn't fascist, it's authoritarian!!

He has already declared war on blue states. The trick about emptying the reservoirs into the sea was ostensibly to help quench a fire, but more probably to ruin California's crops this year.

Probably. But Trump posted it, so he owns it.

Yeah, I do wonder sometimes who has access to Trump's social media. It is not like he spends all day managing it.

I’m sure a number of people do, but it doesn’t make a difference. If I give out access to my login here, I still own whatever gets posted under my name, even if it wasn’t me.

Agreed, Donny is "responsible" for the content. I just wonder who creates and posts it.
