Why do people need Rump to be fascist?
I have made multiple times the argument that Tramp is definitionally not fascist! And instead of a singular argument, I only received hurdles of insults and bans… Do people understand that despite no nazi things being good, bad things can be bad without being nazi? Edit: I understand the diff between nazism and fascism, I assume that others need Trump to be a nazi…
sigh
The Nazis were not the first fascists. Italy was. There’s been many since. Being fascists doesn’t mean being a Nazi. Being a Nazi DOES mean you are a fascist. Not all hot tubs are Jacuzzi, but all Jacuzzis are hot tubs.
It’s been said (paraphrasing) “Trying to define a fascist is like trying to nail jelly to a wall”. This is because there are many distinct forms of fascism, but they do share some similarities.
As Jason Stanley said to define fascism at its core:
A cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation … The leader proposes that only he can solve it and all of his political opponents are enemies or traitors.
Sound familiar?
Let’s break down that definition:
I challenge you to prove otherwise.
This is why you were banned from politicalmemes.
Because there’s not one definitive definition, and proving without a doubt someone shares ideals is almost impossible, you want to point at a vague idea and say “see, there’s no way he’s fascist!”
Now, it’s time for me to be an adult and do my actual job. This is just volunteer work.
