What does the current iteration of conservatives have in common with fascism?

[Wry Catcher]

Some bullet points to consider:

• Powerful and Continuing Expressions of Nationalism
• Disdain for the Importance of Human Rights
• Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
• The Supremacy of the Military/Avid Militarism
• Rampant Sexism
• A Controlled Mass Media
• Obsession with National Security
• Religion and Ruling Elite Tied Together
• Power of Corporations Protected
• Power of Labor Suppressed or Eliminated
• Disdain and Suppression of Intellectuals and the Arts
• Obsession with Crime and Punishment
• Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
• Fraudulent Elections

What is Fascism?

Thanks to "Jim Bowie" for his suggestion that this post on a different thread be posted on its own. Now, I fully expect many responses will be ad hominem insults, idiot-grams and emoticons, and no actual effort to rebut the argument that the conservative movement has devolved into fascism.

It is obvious it has, and putting a flashlight on it is necessary to get some who support those whose rhetoric is framed by the bullet points to actually think.

The point is obvious. I notice you cannot refute one thing on the list

Cognitive Dissonance (for the few who actually cogitate) and willful ignorance will prevent right wingers from seeing themselves and/or the demagogues they worship - Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, etc. - as 21st. Century fascists.

The Party of Lincoln, TR and IKE no longer exists, this internecine has infected its soul and its end is forthcoming at their final convention this summer. If Trump wins or is cast aside; it will be the final chapter for the once and no more Grand Old Party.

Oh look, a mindless leftist (redundant) spewing hatred.

It must be a day that ends in "y."

 

[CrusaderFrank]

See how Republicans are using the power of government, IRS and NSA to go after their domestic enemies?

See how Republicans are reaching into school lunches to implement their directives and agenda?

See how that Illegal Alien Republican voted 5 times in Texas

Oh, wait....

Seems pretty obvious. Doncha think?

Those are the classic signs of socialism/communism/Marxism with some minor exceptions.

Yeah, it is pretty obvious.

Thanks so much for proving me prescient by describing your post so well in the OP [to wit: Now, I fully expect many responses will be ad hominem insults, idiot-grams and emoticons, and no actual effort to rebut the argument that the conservative movement has devolved into fascism.

Really? So this new iteration of conservative has adopted the ways of all totalitarian regimes, both on the far right and the far left. Good point you stumbled upon, confirming that this new element which has taken over the Republican Party is extreme to the max.

Moronic hate is the entirety of your posts.

Cut and pasted from a Soros hate site, of course.

Oh, and posting a hate list is not making an argument, you are not capable of making one.

A very good effort to spin (did you do this all by yourself?), too bad it won't turn.

Won't turn what? Your mindless hate?

Who cares.

I took the minute to eviscerate the Soros hate list to expose the irony of the hate list you and your butt buddy posted. Anyone posting that kind of shit cannot be reasoned with.

Each of this bullet point can and should be debated far beyond the talking point which I have posted in red. I'm fairly confident that the Republican Party has gone to the far extreme, and that fascism seems to be the most applicable word to describe its agenda and its fall from grace.

• Powerful and Continuing Expressions of Nationalism FLAG PIN HYSTERIA

Explain this "hysteria?"

I realize that your filthy party holds that the United States is evil, or at best inferior to the welfare states of Europe, but decent people view basic patriotism as a good thing.

You don't, but decent people do.

• Disdain for the Importance of Human Rights GAY/LESBIANS, MUSLIMS, RACIAL MINORITIES

Because no one quite demonstrates the left's dedication to human rights quite like the Muslims.

{
On Christmas Day, 2014, the Iranian government hanged at least nine prisoners, according to multiple reports.

Many “offenders” are declared Moharebeh (waging war against God), but the majority of those who are executed are convicted on simple drug charges. Other crimes, such as being a homosexual or blasphemy against Islam’s Muhammad, are also punishable by death. Gay activists estimate that some 4,000 alleged gays have been executed by Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.}

The irony of the idiocy you post is beyond words.

• Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause MUSLIMS, BLACKS, IMMIGRANTS, U. PROFS

I was going to write a witty reply but kept tripping over all the dead blacks, immigrants, and Marxist professors littering the streets.

Do you even read the hysteric idiocy you cut and paste?

• The Supremacy of the Military/Avid Militarism OBVIOUS - WAR OF CHOICE, ANTI DIPOLOMACY

Thank Allah Obama is our ruler, otherwise we probably would have waged war to put Al Qaeda
in charge of Libya and Egypt.

Fucking retard.

The biggest issue is one of values. I hold the values of Jefferson, Paine, Mason, et al. You hold the values of Pol Pot and Baby Doc. You also lack any semblance of integrity.
