Why do you think tens of millions of Americans support a fascist candidate…

Poll - Total Votes: 21
They focus on the innocuous policies they favor and accept a calculated risk
They are truly receptive to the fascist core that Trumpism presents to them

I'd argue he's not a fascist but a new authoritarian.

People should read Mesthartiya's article.

The comparison to make is. nor Mussolini but Viktor Orban

Calling Trump a fascist is counter-productive.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Burnley123 finally a comparison that makes sense .
KateATX · 41-45, F
Bought into the campaign lies of Kamala did you?
KateATX · 41-45, F
@NativePortlander1970 you cat see the truth in it?
@KateATX Cats Rawk
@KateATX
Barak has chosen every dem nominee since he was term limited out of the Presidency.

Prove it.
Here’s a fascist been let out of jail by the non-fascist regime..

Projection hypocrisy


MarkPaul · 26-30, M
They don't even know what his policies are because he doesn't know what they are. One day he's against early voting, the next day he's warning "the base" to vote early. One day John Kelly is one of the best there is, the next day he's dumb as a rock. One day he's against goods made in China, the next day he is hawking an overpriced bible with his imprint that is made in China.

As they are led to slaughter, "the base" will claim no has made their lives better than disgraced Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump as they donate their last dime for his personal use.

He's an old-school fascist with a twist of trump.

What makes it fascist?

@SumKindaMunster Deflect? Deflecting is something you do actively. I passively ignored it. There‘s a difference.
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@Tarnished that’s a great question! Too bad these dumbocrats don’t know. That is what has been “ruling” for the last 4 years….
@CedricH I am surmising that Germany is violating its own truth in reporting laws while defaming Trump with all the lies you're repeating from your own media.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
3. They don't care to listen to the lying media and their confederates and can see with their own eyes that he is not a Fascist. Just like we could see Joe Biden's senility and the heart damage caused by the mRNA Covid vaccines.
@SumKindaMunster OK in that case, tell me how the Democrats are actually far more authoritarian right now than Trump is, was, or ever will be.

And denying the 2020 result doesn't count.

Oh, and sources as well, please.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Mesthartiya 1) Undermine electoral integrity - Democrats in multiple states including Colorado have kicked Trump and RFK Jr off their ballots. Only through court orders did they relent. Democrats oppose voter ID laws, undermining the confidence in the election process. Democrats give out money to get people to the polls. All perfectly legal, but the point is how this undermines electoral integrity.

2) Weaken the legislative and judicial branches - Democrats want to expand the Supreme Court to include justices THEY select because they are so butthurt that the court has a Conservative majority. Democrats routinely call out Trump appointed judges in an attempt to undermine their authority.

3) Attack their enemies - Do I really need to demonstrate this one? Democrats routinely call people racists, fascists, and White supremacists for merely disagreeing with them. They routinely call Trump a facist which you admit is not true. Biden just called Trump supporters "garbage".

As far as sources go, do you own research. These are well known, you don't need me to provide a "source" to know these things.
@SumKindaMunster No sources. I can't say I'm surprised...

And I'll counter with one sourced argument, where for once the SCOTUS realised what the Republicans were doing in trying to restrict voting in heavily Democratic Butler County.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-wont-block-pennsylvania-provisional-ballots-decision-2024-11-01/

You won't catch Dems doing that.

Offering money to vote? Two words for you: Elon Musk

And as for the SCOTUS, we all know what McConnell did with Merrick Garland.

I also think it's clear, particularly with the slew of fake Republican polls showing Trump surging ahead, that the Republicans are laying the groundword to reject the result whether Kamala wins by 272 to 268, or wins in a convincing landslide.

Biden just called Trump supporters "garbage"
which he then immediately clarified and apologised, but Harris did the right thing and distanced herself from his comments.

Puerto Rico a floating isle of garbage? Trump may not have said it, but you won't catch him apologising for that.

Finally, attack enemies? If Trump somehow wins, I think we're all going to find out exactly what that means.
Jake966 · 56-60, M
Not sure how you call Trump a fascist after experiencing the last four years
Jake966 · 56-60, M
@ElwoodBlues then tell me what has Harris done in the last 4 yrs to better America ?
@Jake966 You don't want to hear about Harris's many accomplishments in the Alameda County DA's office? You don't want to hear about her many accomplishments as San Francisco's District Attorney? You don't want to hear about her many accomplishments as California's Attorney General? You don't want to hear about her many accomplishments as junior Senator from California??

Look, the Constitutional duties of the VP are almost non-existent. John Adams famously described the vice presidency as “the most insignificant Office” ever invented. None the less, Harris cast a record number of tie-breaking votes in the Senate, thus bringing crucial legislation for the President's signature.

For comparison, what did Mike Pence do during his four years as veep? Kinda stayed silent, didn't he??
Jake966 · 56-60, M
@ElwoodBlues Mike Pence also didn’t run for president so that’s the reason why I’m asking and if you want to know what Harris did in California has district attorney she tried eight cases. She also says that she was with the president throughout his term and was right on board with everything he did, of course she only worked 19 1/2 a week
Jake966 · 56-60, M
If Donald Trump is a fascist, then tell me why when people go now to vote Republican voting machine automatically Democrat for them when they’re clearly pushing the Republican spot. This has been recorded on peoples cell phones, and it is not fake. People are posting it on the web.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Jake966 I don't think you know what a fascist is.
Jake966 · 56-60, M
@CountScrofula I do and I think liberals are taking it completely out of context when they compare it to Donald Trump, who wants to better America and make a better America for everyone not just him and his family
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Jake966 This is definitely not happening just like Italian satellites or Chinese-made thermostats were NOT doing the same thing in the last election.

Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump wants to keep himself out of jail for crimes he has committed.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Hard to find a Politician in any country not promoting the "It's all the fault of the (select as per your pet hate choice) foreigners; benefit claimants; bust businessmen; economic migrants; media; illegals; multiple children households; 'Leftists'; 'Commies';....

No evolution in politics anywhere.
Just pet hatists looking for a vote.
CedricH · M
Is a meme all you can come up with? If you had brought a meme to a political debate in the 2000s, you would‘ve been seen as a mere political satirist, uninterested in any real discussion. It‘s unfortunate how times have changed.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
I have not seen any, I have seen people use the word a lot but seems people don't really know what it means.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@CedricH Maybe Google what fascism means.
CedricH · M
@Subsumedpat Oh I know the meaning of the word, I just don’t know what you mean by “you haven’t seen any” any… what?
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@CedricH There are no candidates I would call fascist . Hitler is long gone.
. It's a few things

Misinformed/under-informed
One issue voters who don't care
Don't understand what fascism is, don't have a grasp of history
Misogyny
Racism
Party loyalty at any cost
The opposite of fascist was communist. You ain't no reds! You vored for endless wars and poverty, ecocide.
Good question. I have no idea why anyone would support Harris. That has always baffled me.
Adrift · 61-69, F
I think millions of Americans did in the last election.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
Which candidate are you referring to ?
eli1601 · 70-79, M
Because of the D next to her name
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
All political people are
A "fascist candidate". Who? Harris?
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
I'd argue that Trump isn't a fascist at heart. Trump's relationship to fascism is more that he sees it as a way to appeal to certain segments of the crowd. At the end of the day, he's all about what benefits himself. He's only going to be fascist if he gets to be the one in charge.

The term fascism comes loaded with ideology. And while the man may make appeals to it, I really don't think he embraces the ideology.

That's not a defense of him though. If anything its worse.
@ViciDraco Give it up, everyone is getting tired and bored with your rhetoric
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@NativePortlander1970 Speak for your self, I find his rhetoric sparkling and clever!
Considering that the establishment media is turning on her in droves, the fascist will be losing on tuesday.

@helenS In fact, it is more than intellectually appropriate based on Trump‘s rhetoric. We wouldn’t want Americans to become the next victims of fascism.

@carpediem Fixing your country? I didn‘t know that Congress would retroactively impeach Donald Trump on November the 5th. That would be the first fix to prevent the ascendance of a fascist in the US.

@AthrillatheHunt These are the same people who think lemon laws exist for no reason
@GlitterEater What do you have against lemons??? They're delicious and provide an almost full day's supply of vitamin C!

@Dino11 Americans support the wars or they'd vote Green party. They voted to off Palestine and provoke China.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Dino11 How many thousands of people have been killed from the Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump/Pence COVID deaths? By the Cry-Baby-trump inspired insurrection? By the purposeful killing of the strong and beautiful border security bill. Deaths...?
