Has Fascism come to America?

[toobfreak]

Feel free to show how it fit the definition of fascism ( not my definition, I used a standard definition).

A good, succinct definition of Fascism is a state of freedom so long as the state approves. Where the theory of fascism fails, is that it is based on total government control as opposed to limited government. But Trump realizes he only has this one shot at limiting government back to what it should be, but seriously, one of the biggest problems around today is that everything is always tied up in the complex machinery of legal and political maneuvering anymore that nothing at all ever gets done.

Like banning books?

No books have been banned.

 

[theHawk]

You mean like threatening universities if they support DEI? Like sending masked ICE agents to deport students for exercising free speech? Like stripping all mention of climate change, sustainability, gender, women, race, equity, social justice etc. from government publications, websites, scientific papers and canceling any grants that mention it? Like banning books that have a Black perspective on historical events or non-hetero character?

DEI isn’t free speech, it’s discrimination.

They are also Federally funded. They are free to do it if they want, don’t expect taxpayers to give them money.

 

[theHawk]

This isn’t about who killed how many of who else.

Oh of course not. Killing people is the hallmark of the radical left.

Just look at the central sacrament of the left: abortion.

 

[toobfreak]

We are currently rejecting the free market, in case you haven’t noticed.

How could I not notice? People are now afraid to own much less even sit in their Teslas for fear of being firebombed, a car which was the darling of the green planet industry just six months ago destined to save the planet.

Why yes. It has. MAGA!

Seriously though, I never thought I would see this.


Source: What Is Fascism?

“Many experts agree that fascism is a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of the nation over the individual. This model of government stands in contrast to liberal democracies that support individual rights, competitive elections, and political dissent.

In many ways, fascist regimes are revolutionary in nature. They advocate for the overthrow of existing systems of government and the persecution of political enemies. However, such regimes are also highly conservative in their championing of traditional values.

And although fascist leaders typically claim to support the everyman, in reality, their regimes often align with powerful business interests.”


Sound familiar? It should.

Existing forms of government are being overthrown through the destruction of our institutions with the Executive usurping powers traditionally given to Congress and openly defying the courts when checked.

Note the last line: aligned with powerful business interests: Musk (who is raking in millions in government contracts), Bezos, Zuckerberg.


Characteristics of Facism:

Extreme Nationalism - check.

Fascist leaders believe in the supremacy of certain groups of people based on characteristics such as race, religion, ethnicity, and nationality.


Cult of personality - check.

Fascist regimes cultivate images of their leaders as great figures to be loved and admired. This cult of personality is often perpetuated through mass media and propaganda. …The Pope chalked up Il Duce’s survival of assassination attempts to divine intervention, adding to Mussolini’s mystique.


How did Fascists come to power? This is interesting, because it tracks what has actually been happening.

“It wasn’t overnight. History laid the groundwork – a pattern of liberal decay.

First, fascist parties gained a foothold in government through initially democratic means. However, over time, the party consolidated power, and ultimately secured their dictatorship.”

Note: Trump is seeking ways for a 3rd term and a Congressman is creating a bill to create a path to a 3rd term that only applies to Trump’s situation.

You're absolutely right.

Now throw another Tesla on the fire, little Ms. Brownshirt.

 

[scruffy]

Dims in NY are going to monitor credit card purchases to find people who buy ammo.

lmao

Moral of the story: use cash to buy ammo.

No, sweetie, fascism got kicked to the curb when we elected Trump. Try reading a history book, your hysterical bleating, while amusing, is factually wrong.

 

[westwall]

Crossing the border is a civil offense. But we have 4 borders and more people who have overstayed their visas like Elon Musk did, then illegals from the south, who are in violation of the law.

No, it isn't. It is a Misdemeanor the first time, and a Felony the second.

Try not lying for once.

Better yet, make your own.

 

[westwall]

Still have to buy components, and USE CASH, AND BUY IN PERSON!!!!!

 

[Vrenn]

That sounds like the Democrats, except for the "extreme nationalism"
Republicans are patriotic, not "extreme nationalists.

Republicans are patriotic but you MAGAts are terrorists.

I'm finding some good deals on reloading supplies at flea markets lately. Stuff seems to be coming out of storage after Kamala lost.

Screeches the asshat who supported the BLM riots that did billions in damage and murdered 30 plus people.

Go fuck yourself, cultist.

Leftards always fall for this crap. Because they're.... well.... leftards.

Just keep making shit up. And I did support our local BLM as did the Mayors, Sheriffs Office and Police Departments. There wasn't a LAW uniform because everyone wore civvies. We just aren't important enough for you MAGAts to send your instigators.

Waaaa! More liberal tears. The stinking Democrats (and a number of RINOs) have been ripping us off blind and you're pissed that they've been caught. What do you have against putting America first? What do you have against making America great? What do you have against transparency, integrity, and responsibility? What do you have against the working class, American taxpayer?

Quit you're friggin' whining and either get on board with cleaning up America or pack your crap; move out of mamma's basement; and head to Venezuela where your precious Socialism reigns supreme.

The Hard Left see America like that big brother you had who looked better than you, was taller, more talented, got better grades, more liked by the parents, got all the girls, did better in gym and always got nicer clothes than you too. They want to knock him down a few notches, hold him back, so that you and others can get your fair share for a change.

Yeah, they can't have excellence or even the pursuit of it in their Marxist La, La, land.

 

[Concerned American]

Still have to buy powder and they are using the same tactics on powder as ammo in general. Plus the price of HS powder. $42 - $47 a pound, c'mon man.
