Court system never said it was unconstitutional. The vaccine save millions. The paranoid whackos thought it would kill them. COVID killed many of them.

The "vaccine" was experimental, Elmer! Show me where ANY President has forced American citizens to take an experimental drug or lose their jobs!

Since beginning his second, non-consecutive term in January 2025, Donald Trump's administration has been cited for multiple instances of defying judicial and legal rules
. Some of these actions have been blocked by lower federal courts, though observers note the Supreme Court has often sided with the administration.
Examples of Trump's administration not obeying court rules in his second term include:

Actions targeting law firms and federal employees

• Executive orders against law firms: In March 2025, President Trump issued executive orders that targeted prominent law firms, such as Perkins Coie LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. The orders revoked security clearances, restricted access to federal buildings, and terminated government contracts, allegedly in retaliation for these firms representing clients involved in investigations against the president. A federal judge ruled that at least one of these executive orders was unconstitutional, citing violations of the Bill of Rights.
• Regulatory disregard: The administration reportedly directed the Office of Personnel Management to disregard a regulation that protected federal employees from reclassification into positions where they could be fired at will. This was seen as a move to shift large numbers of federal workers from the competitive service to at-will positions, and a disregard of established rule-making procedures.

Interference with federal funding

• Federal grant freezes: In February 2025, a federal judge in Rhode Island found that the White House had defied a previous court order to unfreeze federal grant and program funds. The judge, U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr., ordered the administration to immediately end the funding pause. The court order followed comments from Vice President JD Vance, who suggested judges could not challenge the president's "legitimate power".

Defiance of lower court rulings

• Ignoring a deportation order: The White House was accused of defying a judge's order concerning deportation flights in March 2025, according to a report from Chatham House. The administration was reported to have given the go-ahead for the flights despite the ruling. This incident occurred around the same time the Supreme Court limited lower courts' power to issue nationwide injunctions, a decision that critics say emboldens the administration.
• Immigration rule changes: The National Immigration Law Center released a report in January 2025 detailing how several of the administration's "Day 1 Executive Actions" defied the Constitution and long-standing legal norms. These included actions related to repealing birthright citizenship, invoking emergency declarations, and seeking to expand expedited removal procedures.

Efforts to consolidate power

• Firing federal officials: The administration summarily fired federal prosecutors who had been involved in cases against Trump or those related to the January 6th events. Critics argue this action violates civil service protections that protect federal workers from being arbitrarily fired without cause and a hearing.
• Seeking a third term: While the Constitution prohibits a president from being elected more than twice, Trump has publicly entertained the idea of serving a third term, leading to speculation and concern. He has also displayed "Trump 2028" hats, and his allies have spoken of a plan for him to stay in office. Though Trump has recently conceded that running again is unlikely, his previous comments and actions have

Do you somehow think that listing all of the times that Democrats used liberal judges to commit law fare to hamstring Trump's presidency somehow proves your claim, Elmer? It doesn't it makes my point for me.

 

[ElmerMudd]

Bullshit, Elmer! Those were liberal judges appointed in liberal districts by liberal Presidents that committed law fare against the main opponent of sitting Democratic Presidents. It's some of the sleaziest political dirty tricks in the history of American politics. That's what YOUR side does!

It was a deivative of the mRNA vaccine. Do your homework.

Do you know that the flu vaccine you get every year is a diravitive of past flu shot. By your definition it is a new, non-tested vaccine

What type of person prefers a fascist government?
I have been in shock on how many citizens prefer an authoritarian government, as Trump is implementing, as opposed to a democratic republic. Democracy vs Fascism
I asked ChatGPT. The answer makes sense. It fits the definition of many of our citizens.

That’s a great question — and a complex one, because support for fascist governments usually reflects a mix of psychological, social, and situational factors rather than a single “type” of person.
Here’s a breakdown of what research in political psychology and sociology suggests:

---

1. Psychological Traits​

Certain personality traits are more commonly associated with fascist or authoritarian preferences:

• Authoritarian personality: People who value obedience, order, and conformity, and who distrust outsiders, often show higher support for fascist systems.
• Need for certainty and control: Individuals uncomfortable with ambiguity or social change may prefer a strong, centralized power promising stability.
• Aggression toward outgroups: People with high social dominance orientation (a preference for hierarchy and inequality) may support regimes that enforce those hierarchies.

---

2. Social and Cultural Factors​

• Perceived threat: When people feel threatened — economically, culturally, or physically — they may turn toward authoritarian or fascist leaders who promise protection and national renewal.
• Collectivist nationalism: Those who strongly identify with their nation and believe it’s under threat from outsiders or internal “enemies” can be drawn to fascist ideologies.
• Disillusionment with democracy: People frustrated by political gridlock, corruption, or inequality may come to see democratic systems as weak or ineffective.

---

3. Situational and Historical Context​

• Economic hardship: In times of crisis (e.g., hyperinflation, unemployment, or war), people are more likely to accept authoritarian promises of order and prosperity.
• Propaganda and social pressure: Fascist movements often use emotional appeals, fear, and belonging to recruit followers — so context and communication matter a lot.

---

4. Demographic Patterns (Historically)​

Historically, support for fascist movements has come from:

• Members of the middle class fearing downward mobility.
• Younger men seeking purpose or belonging.
• People in areas with high inequality or rapid social change.

Fascism under a President is when the President advocates for…

• Preventing the middle class from earning a livelihood (see COVID)
• Mandating vaccines in the middle class or lose their jobs
• Mandating that US Citizens buy a commercial product ( see Obamacare)

Trump never advocated for these. Your side did.

If you turned that answer in, to a school, you would get an F.

Given that most school systems take their orders from the bought and paid for NEA, I probably would….. but that wouldn’t make what I said untrue.

Would you care to explain why Big Pharma required that they couldn't be sued for subsequent problems with the Covid "vaccines" before they were rushed through to production, Elmer?

You really don't understand how our legal system works, do you, Elmer? I suggest that YOU do some homework...starting with how "blue slips" are historically used to select judges at the State level! When you claim that the judges that ruled against Trump were "Trump judges" it belies how those judges were put on the bench!

Those crazy school districts. They teach children the earth is round, like a ball. Everyone knows the earth is flat. I am with you.

Because they were approved by the FDA before they were given to anyone.

Characteristics of a fascist government

• Dictatorial leadership: A single, powerful leader holds absolute control, and the government is highly centralized.
• Authoritarian and total control: The government exercises total control over the lives of the people, allowing no dissent or opposition.
• Extreme nationalism: The ideology elevates the nation and often a specific race above the individual.
• Militarism: There is a strong emphasis on military power and, often, the expansion of territory through armed conflict.
• Suppression of opposition: Dissent is not tolerated and is forcibly suppressed through the police and military.
• Regimentation: Society and the economy are strongly controlled and regimented by the state.
• Rejection of democracy and liberalism: Fascism is fundamentally opposed to liberal democracies, individual rights, and political pluralism.

Can you define fascism in a way that doesn't include personality traits or political bigotry? If you can you have to conclude that the Biden/Fauci regime came closest to fascism in our time.

There was no Biden/Fauci regime. What we have now is fascism. Not something close, but the real deal

 

[IM2]

Here's what I know, one party is dehumanizing anyone with differing opinions and cheers when those people are killed. Then they go on and demand other people to be killed as well for their own agenda to continue unopposed. They're not opposed to using threats or destroying property to get what they want. They're also the party that claims to be anti fascist.

Yes, that would be the Republican party. You guys have cheered for years when police were killing unarmed blacks, and your party has dehumanized anyone not white or straight. You guys have been the ones threatening civil war, and it was the right who has done the most damage. You're in here repeating lies based on extreme rightwing propaganda, not the facts.

Approved by the FDA but for the first time EVER a drug was put on the marketplace with the manufacturer being given total protection from law suits if it turned out to be harmful! It doesn't take a genius to figure out why Big Pharma wanted that protection! The "vaccines" were rushed into production and nobody had a clue what the long term results would be from taking the shots!

You don't get it...do you, Elmer! Those "characteristics" are more indicative of the Obama and Biden Administrations then the Trump Administration!
