You do realize that every single one of those, I can link directly to the left-wing..... right?
- Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Every single time Trump does anything, you say "That's UnAmerican". "That's not what America stands for!" and so on. Using a claim to nationalism, to advance politics.
- Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
The murder of half a million babies every year, the protection of criminals, at the expense of victims, rape, murder, and so on.
- Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
- Supremacy of the Military
While the current Democrat party is not pro-military, they will become pro-military the moment they can use it for political benefit. Every left-wing government in human history has. From the Soviets, to Chavez, to Pol Pot, to Mao, to Castro. Even then, the Left-wing has no problem using military-style storm troopers whenever they wish against US citizens.

- Rampant Sexism
The left-wing is extraordinarily sexist constantly. Look at how they treated Sarah Palin, and Nikki Haley, and Carrie Prejean, and the list goes on and on and on. The left has no problem targetting someone over their gender, if they don't tow the left-wing line. Was it not Hillary herself, that blamed all those white women for 'obeying their husbands' and not voting for her?
- Controlled Mass Media
MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NYT, Washington Post, dozens of all left-wing news outlets all parroting the Democrat party lines. And was it not Obama that targeted Fox News? Was it not the Democrats in the 90s that tried to pass the "Hush Rush" law? They have done everything they can to shut down the only small sources of media that is not left-wing bias in nature.
- Obsession with National Security
Fear? I would be hard pressed to see how any citizen of the US, now lives in fear.
- Religion and Government are Intertwined
I do not see that religious leaders are dictating US policy, or even have significant influence, and I certainly do not see that Trump is even remotely religious.
- Corporate Power is Protected
Corporate power was never protected in any Fascist state. It certainly wasn't in Germany. A corporation was ordered, and controlled, to build and produce, exactly what the government wanted. Have you never watched Schindler's list?
- Labor Power is Suppressed
Stalin forced millions of people into gulags to produce labor for the country. I'm not sure what comparison you would make to connect the power of "labor" here, to Fascism.
- Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Watch Expelled The disdain for intellectuals and arts is vastly greater on the left-wing.
- Obsession with Crime and Punishment
See pictures above. The left-wing punishes the law abiding citizens, and protects the evil and criminal. I'll take obsession with crime and punishment over, your system of anarchy injustice, and evil.
- Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
You mean like Al Gore selling the Elk Hills oil reserve, to Occidental Petroleum, that Al Gore happen to have hundreds of thousand of dollars in stock in? Secret Empires by Peter Schweizer. Many Obama supporters pushed Obama policy for personal gain.
- Fraudulent Elections
Last I checked the Democrats were opposed to even requiring an ID to vote.
You've proved one thing, you never completed a course in expository writing.
14: I've never opposed an ID being required to vote.
13: One supposed Data point, without evidence, is absurd.
12: The Left-Wing is not defined; I spent 32 years carrying a badge which brought the Maniforts', White Collar Criminals and anyone who violated the laws of the St. of CA. to Justice.
11: LOL, How much more ludicrous can you get?
10: The R's oppose labor unions, Right to Work is a euphemism for busting collective bargaining and not
protecting each individual employee.
9: Corporate Power ("corporations are people too") and the recent reform, aka tax fraud, implemented by Ryan and signed by Trump harm the working men and middle class while rewarding the 1% and corporate profits.
8: Trump and the Republican Party oppose abortion, not out of any moral compass, but to continue to secure the vote of the Clergy, many of whom lack the ethos of Jesus in all other matters (aiding the poor, capital punishment, healing the sick).
7: Hate and fear mongering, locking up mothers and separating them from their children for crossing the border seeking asylum. Trump's Emergency Orders when he created the border issue, and the only real emergency is the deaths of a hundred or more Americans ODing on Opiates everyday.
6: Yep, you can get more ludicrous. "Outfoxed" was produced well before Obama took elected office, the Murdoch propaganda Machine along with Limbaugh's Dittoheads use the BIG LIES (Fake News, the Red Scare) to influence people like you, the biddable fools.
5. Donald Trump is a lounge lizard, cheated on his wives, bribed women to keep quiet for his sexual peccadilloes, and attacked the character of all the women who accused him of untoward sexual advances.
4. See the budget, no money to speak of for domestic needs, but padding the budget of the Military beyond that of all other nation's. When it suited him he attacked Sen. McCain's service, and has still not fixed the VA (one of many broken promses).
3. This is true, you even admit Trump's hate and fear have been focused on minorities, liberal Democrats and now Jews who don't support him.
2. Another overreach. Abortion is legal, and Trump has abused the power of the office by attacking a Supreme Court Decision and laying blame on the Democrats, liberals and progressives.
That said, the numbers of migrants suffering on the border are beyond question to be victims of trumps callous conservatism.
1. White Nationalism is not patriotism. The United States population is diverse, and needs a leader to support all of our citizens with protections for their lives, liberty and happiness.
what is the purpose of a labor union exactly?
I see you've never taken a course in history, that's sad but it proves why you are what you are.
History.....
Really? You have to go back to the 1800s, to justify something today?
Look, I get that in the 1800s and even early 1900s, we had things like Mining Towns.
The company paid to have a rail road built, paid to have people moved there, paid for the housing, to food, everything.... and in return people were paid in company dollars, only usable at the company store.
This made it almost impossible for people to do anything, but stay working in the mine. They were trapped. They couldn't buy a wagon, because the company store didn't stock wagons, and why would they? You don't need it. The mine is right there. People didn't have money, or a way to leave. They were trapped in the mining town.
In that situation, I understand why unions were needed. I get it. Makes sense.
Please tell me who, anywhere is trapped? I had a job that paid me $8/hour, when you consider how many hows I worked, and how much it cost me to do that job.
What did I do? Form a union? Try and force management to pay more?
No I quit. I found another job that pays better. In fact I just did that this month. My last day at my current job is next week.
There is no value to a union today.
