I don't think Trump is personally a fascist, just an opportunist that is suffering from NPD, and found traction to get attention and power with a particular political movement.
I don't see the value in arguing this point- if you are smart enough to understand any argument I made, and I strongly suspect you are, you can see exactly what Trump and his movement are doing and why with a lot more nuance than any single word label would provide- and you already either think it's a good idea or isn't.
People I care deeply about are being targeted, and systematically dehumanized for who they are or where they are from, and all of the checks and balances that would have protected them in the past have been systematically eliminated. At this point we're past the point of discussing these issues productively, unfortunately.
- catigula 2y agoIt doesn't really seem like you're interested in having a serious discussion about the points outlined, which is unfortunate, because I suspect it'd have seriously challenged some of your worldview that you appear to passively hold. Anyways, just in terms of "vibe", I regret to inform you that your response, which I understand and empathize that it resonates heavily and even implicitly with you, is something you literally need to already agree with to engage with meaningfully.
