'The dictionary definition of fascism': Conservative columnist condemns Donald Trump's MAGA 'cult'

[Lastamender]

‘William Saletan, a writer for the conservative website The Bulwark, defends President Joe Biden’s anti-MAGA use of the term “semi-fascism” in an article published on September 1.

“Republicans are furious over President Biden’s recent remarks linking Donald Trump and his supporters to ‘semi-fascism,’” Saletan writes. “For days, they’ve been all over TV and social media, denouncing Biden’s use of the F-word. But Biden was right. Many of the ideas and tactics deployed by Trump and his apologists, including those who decry Biden’s comparison, fit the dictionary definition of fascism.”

Saletan stresses that refusing to accept democratic election results, which is what Trump and his followers did after the 2020 election, is an “authoritarian” act.

“A stickler might say that an attempt to overturn an election isn’t really fascist unless it involves the use of state power or mob violence, but Trump and his allies tried to use both,” Saletan explains. “Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s right-hand man in several abuses of power, says it’s Biden, not Trump, who runs America like ‘a damned dictatorship.’ But in December 2020, after the Electoral College had certified Biden’s election, Giuliani — at Trump’s direction — phoned the acting deputy secretary at the Department of Homeland Security to ask whether DHS could seize voting machines from states. Then, at Trump’s January 6th rally on the Ellipse, Giuliani exhorted the crowd: ‘Let’s have trial by combat!’”

Saletan adds, “Giuliani didn’t just help to incite the attack on the Capitol. To this day, he continues to whitewash it and excuse the perpetrators.”’

That's a self inflicted wound by Republicans. Democrats believe in the existing institutions and norms we had, minus Republicans war on women

That’s not true. Liberals and Progressives actively fight against things like personal responsibility, limited Government, and lower taxes while prompt the Social safety net, moral ambiguities and governments healthcare. That’s the exact opposite of what Conservatives want.

As for the “War on Women”… it doesn’t exist. We decry Feminism, not womanhood or femininity.

Then tell us exactly where the Fascism is on the Democrat side? Try and make your argument intelligent. Don't just say one sides shoes are ugly. No, something of substance? Go!

The movement of the Western World into a global government based on little tolerance is fascism. Other nations are ahead of us in that regard. You need to pay attention to groups and individuals being destroyed by their edicts. Trudeau shut down the lives of truckers for striking. Called racists and terrorists. What he did is called buy and sell in the Bible. Secular or Religious that is what he did.

To sum up fascism, it's basically a dictatorship or authoritarianism. That's what the Democrat party is all about.

That's not substance. Are you intelligent and coherent enough to know what I am talking about? You just told me my shoes are ugly, nothing more. Get with the program man. I asked another poster this, he didn't answer, and instead, your DA answered with the same stupid shit no one wants read. Meaning, you said nothing.

The bigger war is depriving them of their own autonony in making their own health care decisions. That in and of itself, is setting many women up for murder.

I agree for once about Transgender atheletes competing with boys or girls. But, to truly understand my reasoning against yours, you must have a handle on Biological influences. That said, there is no comparison betwen the bathroom issue, versus endangering their health.
