I got it. And I pointed it out frequently.
Mostly no. And I defended Trump as not a fascist during that first term. It seem to me that, whatever his flaws, he had no angry vendetta going on. But now, with the revenge tour cranking up, I'm not so sure where this will go. Thus the question. It's not accusation.
Is lawfare Fascism?
If by "lawfare" you mean trying to prosecute your political opponents out of contention, yes.
Then by your own operational definition, the Democrats are Fascists. But but but Trump.
Trump wasn’t a Fascist the first time. Doubt he does anything this time.
Define "full fascist".
I hope you're right. But things are quite different. Trump is obsessed with loyalty and petty revenge, I don't think you can deny that, and this time he has (some) legitimate reasons for wanting revenge. "They" tried to kill him for chrissake. I don't think it's irrational to worry that he might go off the rails.
Yes! Please!
No. That's not the point of the thread. Define it however you like.
Sad as usual.
What would you do if that happened? It's a serious question.
“Off the rails” I doubt. He also has the popular vote and some mainstream love. My guess is he goes after Mayorkas and Garland. Other than that he sticks to policies.
Like I said, I hope you're right.
Exactly. That's why I'm worried. Arguably, his revenge has a mandate.
Maybe. It sounds like he's trying to purge the military as well. From what I can tell, his only acknowledged "mistake" from his first term was tolerating dissent in his administration. That's worrisome.
The military needs some changes. But that isn’t Fascism. That’s just policy.
We'll see.
Forget the wheels. trump is running out of track. All but dead.
Correct Getting rid of DEI nonsense isn't remotely related to fascism.
Stop drunk posting. Your side lost. Deal with it.
