'The dictionary definition of fascism': Conservative columnist condemns Donald Trump's MAGA 'cult'

[Frankenstein]

You're a very sick man.

Truth hurts huh! it is truth

 

[Foxfyre]

Look up the definition of Fascism for yourself. Read up on it's history. You have a brain.. you don't need Trump or anyone else to tell you what to think.

I know the definition of fascism. I have taught the definitions of fascism. The MAGA vision of smaller, less powerful central government, more individual liberty, a strong, free, prosperous America with constitutional principles restored is about as far from fascism--the exact opposite actually--as you can get.

That there are a few similarities or claimed similarities does not make the MAGA vision in any way fascist. To say so is to apply flawed logic with no qualifying facts such as:
The hat is on the table.
The hat is on Surada.
Therefore Surada is a table.

In policy and rhetoric, the Democrats have been far more fascist than anything that comes from the MAGA vision.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yeah. Trump is an angry old man. Fat, lonely and unloved.

I wish I was that fat, lonely and unloved. Talk about being super jealous.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Yeah. Trump is an angry old man. Fat, lonely and unloved.

/——/ Hete is Trump being lonely and unloved. BTW, he dropped 50 lbs or so after leaving office.

Trump claimed that 3 to 5 million illegals voted.

He was probably correct. I doubt there's any way to prove or disprove it.

I'm reminded of Loretta Sanchez, whom in the 1990s, won a seat in Congress specifically by encouraging illegals to vote. She defeated the incumbent by less than a thousand votes. Subsequent investigation showed that almost certainly more than seven hundred illegals did vote in that election, and that likely, several times that many, but the investigation was dropped before it could produce any more definitive outcome.

That was just for one Congressional district, and in the time since then, our electoral system has become much, much, much less secure than it was back then, as far as such electoral fraud is concerned, and Democraps have become more open about treasonously pandering to foreign invaders, against the interests of the American people.

Three to five million votes in a recent national election, by invading foreign criminals, is not the least bit implausible. If anything, it's a very conservative estimate; the true number is probably higher than that.

‘William Saletan, a writer for the conservative website The Bulwark, defends President Joe Biden’s anti-MAGA use of the term “semi-fascism” in an article published on September 1.

“Republicans are furious over President Biden’s recent remarks linking Donald Trump and his supporters to ‘semi-fascism,’” Saletan writes. “For days, they’ve been all over TV and social media, denouncing Biden’s use of the F-word. But Biden was right. Many of the ideas and tactics deployed by Trump and his apologists, including those who decry Biden’s comparison, fit the dictionary definition of fascism.”

Saletan stresses that refusing to accept democratic election results, which is what Trump and his followers did after the 2020 election, is an “authoritarian” act.

“A stickler might say that an attempt to overturn an election isn’t really fascist unless it involves the use of state power or mob violence, but Trump and his allies tried to use both,” Saletan explains. “Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s right-hand man in several abuses of power, says it’s Biden, not Trump, who runs America like ‘a damned dictatorship.’ But in December 2020, after the Electoral College had certified Biden’s election, Giuliani — at Trump’s direction — phoned the acting deputy secretary at the Department of Homeland Security to ask whether DHS could seize voting machines from states. Then, at Trump’s January 6th rally on the Ellipse, Giuliani exhorted the crowd: ‘Let’s have trial by combat!’”

Saletan adds, “Giuliani didn’t just help to incite the attack on the Capitol. To this day, he continues to whitewash it and excuse the perpetrators.”’

Fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer.

Fascism - Econlib

As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. The word derives from fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power: a tied bundle of rods with a protruding ax. In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal...

Your article on Fascism is compelling. It also illuminates the differences between Marxism and Fascism. I'll read it again. Thanks.

You should read up on Loretta Sanchez.

Do you really believe all illegal immigrants are criminals?

Yes, absolutely.

They violate our laws, and become criminals, by illegally invading our country. Regardless of what else they may or may not do while here, just being here illegally makes them criminals.

The word "Fascism" has become the new buzzword of the bomb throwing left, it replaced the over used word "RACIST" . Most libards and leftists dont know what Fascism is or that its a leftist ideology created by a communist that fell from grace ( Mussolini). What leftists call FASCISM is really totalitarianism; the LEFT has killed 100x more people than the Right ( Hitler was left wing socialist btw).

Did you fall for Bidiens latest scam about STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS just before the election so that tards voted for him.

If you came home and caught me in your house uninvited, would you consider me a criminal?

Hitler's theme was Make Germany Great Again.

The Bulwark is not a conservative website....the Bulwark is a bunch of grifters who hate Trump, but can't make a living selling Trump hate to conservatives, so they jumped in with the left wing democrats.......

Saletan is obviously an idiot.....promoting the lie that the riot on Jan. 6 was an insurrection........

No...it wasn't....fascism is left wing, created by a life long communist, Mussolini after the communist party kicked him out....he needed a new way to grift and came up with his own brand of socialism....

 

[2aguy]

Mussolini split from the socialists about ,1919.

And started his own branch of socialism......having been a lifelong communist.

Only because the other side is not for making America great again. They're for making America into Europe.

DumBama's motto was hope and change. Nobody wants hope and change for something they love. You don't get married to a pudgy short woman and hope you can change her. You don't pressure her to workout constantly and wear the highest heel shoes money can buy. If that's the way you feel, you never loved her in the first place.

No....let me add to your post....

Obama wasn't trying to make America better...so the actual concept is marrying someone who is short and pudgy, and then telling them they eat too much, they aren't tall enough, and have never been attractive to anyone.......obama hates this country and did his best to humble it ....and is still doing it since most of biden's people actually obey obama.
