Wow, a Fascist calling someone else to the left a Fascist. Benito would proud.
Daryl, honey, I realize you are one incredibly stupid individual, but you should at least TRY to learn the meaning of words before using them.
Have one of the older kids help you if need be.
Okay, cupcake, here is the definition of Fascism.
Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe
The 14 points of Fascism
1: Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Rump is a Nationalist. While this isn't a good or a bad thing if by itself.
2: Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Too many times he openly threatened or condoned the reduction in Human Rights.
3: Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
He always had someone to blame. And he did it in a venomous way. Over and Over.
4: Supremacy of the Military
Rump started out with this until he found out that the Federal Military could not be used in the methods he tried to use them.
5: Rampant Sexism
This one has Rump's name written all over it.
6: Controlled Mass Media
There are many ways to control the Mass Media. You could shut them down except for those favorable with the Fascist. But Rump put another twist on it and created the term"Fake News" and pushed the ones that only agreed with him. It amounted to the same thing as shutting them down.
7: Obsession with National Security
Using fear to drive National Security. This is Rump 101.
8: Religion and Government are Intertwined
Rump is NOT a religious type. He didn't attend any services unless it was for a photo op. But the major Religions in the US blindly backed him.
9: Corporate Power is Protected
Giving extreme tax breaks to the ultra rich Corporations and others in a time when the US could ill afford to do this. For instance, I lost a little on his "Tax Breaks" when I total all the balance sheet. But large Corporations made out like bandits. Yes, some did benefit but I think for the middle class and below,it probably broke even. But to pay for it, the deficit had to sky rocket. And this was BEFORE Covid.
10: Labor Power is Suppressed
This has been going on a very long time. In order for a Fascist Government to exist, ALL Unions must be busted as a Fascist sees them as their biggest threat.
11: Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
A Fascist sees education as an enemy. This means that they have to go after the schools of all levels including Universities, Colleges and K-12. Attempt at discrediting them as much as possible.
12: Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Attempt at giving an extraordinary amount of power to the Police. When Rump cancelled the "Consent Decree" that allowed Police Forces to overstep their boundaries. Cases like Choking them out and placing a knew on the Artery that feeds the brain which results in death in a matter of seconds. And a few other things that leads to unrest. The major Cities that are still under the Consent Decree had protests but ZERO looting and rioting. Portland was one of the cities that was scheduled to fall under the Consent Decree but it was cancelled right after Rump too office.
13: Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
What can I say. To say this isn't true is just lying. What it led to is the most inept bunch of advisors that has ever assembled.
14: Fraudulent Elections
There are many ways to do a fraudulent election. One is to actually have fraudulent elections. But the way that Rump did it amounted to the same thing. You discredit the elections.
Before, Rump owned 12 out of 14 of how to be a successful Fascist Leader.
4: Supremacy of the Military
We have some laws that prevented Rump from owning this one although he tried. The biggest was the Uniform Code of Military Justice that the Federal Military operates under. In order to accomplish this, Rump would have had to completely own Congress. He did the first 2 years but not the last 2 when he tried to misuse the Federal Military for his own ends. Remember, the 82nd was sent to DC to "Help" the DC cops during that last Protest that also had looting and Rioting? The 82nd did go but didn't join in since there are laws that prevent them from joining in unless Congress gives their consent. Rump made threats to use the Federal Military but that was the first time he follows through with it. But the Joint Chiefs follows the orders until it conflicted with the UCMJ.
14: Fraudulent Elections
Rump was almost successful on this one. He did discredit the elections nearly to death. But what stopped him was the Judicial Branch. And still, he came way too close for comfort.
So Rump owns 12 of the 14 and the only reason he failed was that the other two had outside organizations that thwarted him.
They only list 14 but I am going to add a 15th that Mussolini had in his playbook. And this one is critical. Mussolini controlled over 60% of the Italian Congress and he used that to desolve the Italian Supreme Court. The 60% weren't just of the same party, they were blind followers. Rump failed because he never got the Party of the Rump to control both the House and the Senate by 60%.
So, cupcake, THAT is fascism and how we nearly waltzed into it. Had it not been for two documents, we would now have a Fascist Dictator. God preserve the Constitution of the United States and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Something that Italy and Germany did not have.
Unlike you, I am capable of writing in my own words.
This started off with you defending a person who wants to send those who disagree with him to the Gulags. Now, I don't have to look this up as I already know, but the term fascism is derived from an Ancient Etruscan implement called a fasces which consists of a bundle of sticks wound tightly together around a cutting blade. The symbolism is obvious, but I will explain it to you because you are stupid, as the sticks represent a group of people absolutely unified in opinion, and the blade represents the political power thus wielded by that conformity. With this understanding in mind, the statement that groups of people should be sent to the Gulags for being something other than the ones marching in lock-step is undeniably fascist in nature.
Actually, the only parts that weren't my own words are the bold print. Sorta deflates yer balloon, don't it.
As for your typing, it can either be a Fascist (extreme right wing) or a Stalanist (extreme left wing) that will march people to the Gulags, Siberian Work Camps or worse. Both lead to Dictators and there isn't a hill of beans difference.
Besides, may we should start a poll to see if YOU should be trotted into the nearest FEMA camp that your bunch claims that the Dems are constructing to house you. Not saying it's going to happen but it does cheer me up a bit thinking about it.
You have just used Rule #3. 3: Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
