October 23, 20241 yr I mean I don't even think most Trumpbots would try to deny they are fascists if they are being honest with themselves. The 3 pillars of fascism... (1) Demonization of domestic enemies Fascism creates a myth of victimhood, that the majority population is in a humiliating decline from a past greatness because of singled-out minority populations. It’s an us-against-them crisis, the myth goes. The targeted racial, ethnic, religious or gender minorities, and the "liberals” who support them, are thus framed as not just opponents but enemies, demonized so the majority can feel justified in hating and repressing them. (2) Preposterous lies Fascism relies on outrageous and absurd disinformation, "Orwellian” lies, designed to distort its supporters’ perception of reality, bending "truth” to fit the fascist mythology. Because it is based on lies, fascism must be anti-intellectual, anti-science and anti-logic in order to defend itself, which means it must oppose and attack news media outside its control. Trump’s continuous attacks on the free press, calling them "fake news” and the "enemy of the people” could not be more stereotypically fascist. (3) Contempt for democratic institutions Fascism encourages contempt for democratic institutions, particularly elections, and the rule of law. Instead, it calls on the majority group to turn over power to a strongman and his lieutenants, while glorifying the use of violence in support of fascist myths and goals. Trump is practically following the guid book and ticking off the boxes as he goes.

October 23, 20241 yr 40 minutes ago, Mike31mt said: This is laughable in the face of all the squawking about democracy and Kamala's previous failures in the Democratic primaries. Additionally, they forced Biden out of office and we all know this, you don't have to pretend. Biden didn't envision being forced out of the race by his own party, but when it became politically expedient they ditched him like a piece of garbage. Let's review once more for the government 101 flunkies: Electing a party leader in the smoky backroom because the elected candidate has a health problem or the convention is split = not ideal but legal Denying the results of an election after you have exhausted all challenges, instigating a coup and running a shadow presidency = traitorous

October 23, 20241 yr Is the October surprise really going to be a hilariously fake Hitler praise quote that there's no recording of? Damn, at least get some fake AI generated audio to go along with it. Dems are really mailing this thing in (pun intended) at this point.

And again, here in reality, the Dems have been much softer on Russia and allowed Putin to do whatever he wants. But again, that's in reality where Kamala voters don't live anymore. The rest of your whining about Hitler and WW2 is monumentally stupid considering Biden and Kamala have us MUCH closer to WW3 than Trump ever did. But again, that's reality which you all fail to acknowledge. Bingo! If Trump was in office, the invasion of Ukraine never would have happened - but these clucks are too dense to realize that.

How much must Trump suck to lose to a candidate who isn’t even qualified? Great idea to run him again.

What is true about all that is that when Biden short circuited in the debate, Pelosi & the media were furious. They had been covering for his declining state and he made fools of them that night. That's why he got kicked to the curb the way he did. But Harris has been the backup plan since 2020, you guys even RAN ON THAT during the last election. So, yeah, it's absolutely completely not comparable to starting a violent coup after going 0/100 in legal challenges to the election.

He calls himself a deal-maker. Even his national security adviser said it was a weak, terrible deal." Harris slammed Trump for negotiating directly with the Taliban instead of the Afghan government and bringing terrorists to a historic site of American leadership and democracy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/08/20/trump-peace-deal-taliban/
