    “I voted for a literal fascist to save the Republic” sounds a lot more like you’re scared that taxes will go up by 2%. Whether you worship him like the drooling knuckledraggers with Trump flags is immaterial. It doesn’t make you any less of a fucking fascist.

        Palingenetic ultranationalism with a disdain for democracy and rule of law, a fetish for violence, and tribal bigotry?

        So, you know, everything we’ve seen ‘MAGA’ to stand for?

            It makes no sense that you’re trying to mix things that have nothing to do with my comment. What you’re doing just affirms my statement that: you are willing to label anyone who disagrees as fascist and you are scared to participate in a productive conversation because you do not know how to make logical points which relate to what I have just said.

            “I don’t think you know the actual meaning of fascism.”

            “This is what fascism is. [definition]”

            “That makes no sense!”

            You have fun with that, buddy.

                    PugJesus: “Didn’t realize I worshipped Biden. Here I thought I only voted for him because he was better than the death of the American Republic.”

                    potosi: “That is exactly what many libertarians did too, only you would probably label them as fascists too as you are blinded to the fact that there are many people who dislike Trump which are also right wing.”

                    The point of discussion is pretty fucking clearly Trump and Trump voters. But equally clearly, you aren’t here to argue in good faith.

        This “you don’t know what fascism is” thing is getting so old. It’s ultra-patriotism. Nation before self. USA has had a fascist streak forever. Even pre-WW2 and even post-WW2 we had fascist sympathizers.

        None of this is new. MAGA is not new. Fascism is not complicated.

        What did Mussolini want? Italy first. What did Hitler want? Germany first. What did the Japanese junta want? Japan first. What did the British, French, US etc want? Preservation of the balance of power. No one country first. NOBODY first. Trade and negotiation and treaties between equals instead.

        What is so hard to understand about any of this? It’s really not hard. What does Putin want? Russia first. What does Xi Jinping want? China first. What do the US, UK, France etc want? The balance of power, no one country first. Instead trade and negotiation and treaties between equals.
