Why do people need Rump to be fascist? - Lemmy.World

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…

Fascism ≠ naziism. Trump is a fascist, wannabe dictator, who is slowly working his way from wanna be, to full on.

Fascism is: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

All things that trump is doing

Yea? How is he centralizing government? How is he regulating industries? How is the opposition being suppressing violently?

He is racist and his parties rhetoric does run on nationalism but that doesn’t make him fascist…

By putting loyalists into government positions, including the Supreme Court, and using executive orders to subvert Congress and avoid checks and balances.

He is currently threatening many industries with legal action if they don’t appease him. The FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license because Kimmel hurt Trump’s feelings, and the US government now owns part of Intel. He is turning ICE into his own personal brute squad, and suggested that the military use “liberal cities” for training.

It took Hitler 13 years to become HITLER. Trump isn’t there yet, but he’s walking the same path and you’re delusional if you think that path leads anywhere but fascism.
