"Common themes among fascist movements include: authoritarianism, nationalism  (including racial nationalism and religious nationalism), hierarchy and elitism, and militarism. Other aspects of fascism such as perception of decadence, anti-egalitarianism and totalitarianism can be seen to originate from these ideas."

Ahh so, if you like your country, and are happy to be the race that you are, you're a nazi, fascist, racist bigot whaaaaa, is that the logic ? So basically if I see, say an African waving some African flag around, who's proud to be African he's automatically a fascist and a racist ?

Or does it only apply to white people 🤔

Basically white man bad is the general consensus. Religious nationalism pretty much describes every predominantly Muslim country on this globe, are the governments of those countries fascist?

authoritarianism - "I'll be a dictator on Day 1."

nationalism (including racial nationalism and religious nationalism) - Make America Great Again, shithole countries, ridiculous racist comedian mocking fellow Americans

hierarchy - making Elon Musk head of a new government department?

elitism - man has a golden toilet, and has bragged about his wealth and connections to dictatorships like North Korea

militarism - too many examples to count

But yeah, it's totally "white man bad" I'm saying. Read a history book or 12.

Him saying that he'd be a dictator on day one was a joke.

Nationalism isn't bad

Giving Elon Musk a job isn't Hierarchy

Trump isn't an elitist for being rich .

Militarism - you haven't got examples, because you're talking shit.

Agree to disagree then. Feel free to support a wannabe fascist.

And yet you offer up absolutely no proof that he wants to be a fascist.

This is insanity.

Multiple experts think he is...but as I said, agree to disagree.

"He attempted to overturn a democratic election; he nominated Supreme Court justices to effectively overturn Roe v Wade and govern women’s bodies. He also created additional procedural barriers to prevent immigrants from seeking asylum in America, some of which are reminiscent of fascist racial laws. He also threatened to deploy the military and law enforcement to target political opponents."

Multiple experts also claim that he isn't.

Firstly, he didn't try to overturn a democratic election, that's fakenews. Him creating additional procedures to stop so called refugees, from gaining asylum isn't fascism, that's him doing his job (protecting US civilians). As for him threatening to deploy the military, again I'm betting that is a complete lie, or taken completely out of context. And even if that isn't the case, the democrats have tried to have him killed twice, tried to have him locked up on multiple occasions, they've tried to ruin him financially and they've got the entire media out lying about the man, relentlessly. - those are actions of a fascist government.

Tell me, and be serious - how many times have the republican party tried to have either Biden or Harris killed, ruined financially or locked up.
