Its too bad that, for many people, fascist has just become the default insult for people you don't agree with politically. It actually has a very specific meaning. Read the wikipedia article on fascism and you will he hard pressed to find an actual fascist in the public sphere on any political level.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThere are people in the Republican party that believe in the white Genocide, that Jewish billionaires are financing genetic warfare against white people. Their solution is essentially fascism. Read up a bit about fascism. You'll find that's it's not just the Nazis in 1942.
- hairofadog 6y agoI agree that the words "fascist" and "fascism" have practically been worn out by misuse and overuse, but Trump has mutated the Republican Party into something that, to my eyes, meets most common definitions of Fascism, and looking at the wikipedia article you mention seems to confirm my thoughts on this: they describe fascism as "a form of far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalism" and mention protectionism, and economic interventionism, and opposition to liberal democracy, among other things. I would be interested to hear how the Trump administration is different in concept from the description outlined by the wikipedia page.
