Does the Trump administration want “racial violence”?

Seems to me the current administration is trying to cause a domestic crisis. If/when it becomes violent. Authoritarian strategies will seem justified.
Djt is literally a facist.
facism defined as “a far-right, authoritarian political ideology and mass movement that prioritizes the nation and race over the individual. Characterized by a dictatorial leader, aggressive nationalism, militarism, and the violent suppression of opposition, it emerged in Europe in the early 20th century. The term originated from the Italian political party led by Benito Mussolini.
Key characteristics of fascism include:
Dictatorial leadership: Power is concentrated in a single leader who is presented as infallible.
Militarism and nationalism: It glorifies the military and prioritizes extreme, often exclusionary, nationalism.
Suppression of opposition: Any form of dissent is violently suppressed, and basic human rights are disregarded.
Belief in hierarchy: Fascism promotes a rigid social structure and the rule of elites, in opposition to democracy and liberalism.
Scapegoating and victimization: It identifies internal and external "enemies" to unify the populace and focuses on a narrative of national decline or humiliation.
Control of media: The government seeks to control mass media and promote myths and lies to control the narrative.
Intertwined religion and government: In fascist states, government and religion are often merged, and business interests are protected.
Glorification of violence: Violence is often glorified as a means of achieving national goals.”

I agree with you that Trump, as per his Modus Operandi, is creating or inflaming and enhancing a problem for him to solve and exploit and justify authoritarian strategies.

I'm not sure that calling it a racial crisis doesn't inflame things even more, though, as may calling him a fascist.

@MistyCee @MistyCee I said racial violence seperately from domestic crisis. And per the definition of facism the criteria is being met. Ignoring reality might be worse. No?

@jehova I didn't say he wasn't a fascist. But his followers just hear name calling.

They're the same folks who think they're conservatives.
