What if Trump -is- a fascist?

[Vrenn]

take away options they will use whats available,,

its simple logic so I understand why it confuses you,,

You are just gaslighting again. We broke the CultAR around here. And we are a Red area. We did it because of the last time a school was threatened was by a 17 year old wearing a Rain Coat (on a sunny day) with his daddy's AR-15 and 3 30 round mags hidden under the coat. When he got within 1000 feet of a gradeschool, a citizen called it in. The cops surrounded him at gunpoint with their own version of the AR and arrested his sorry butt. He was less than a fraction of a second to be filled up with lead. He was less than 50 feet from the entrance to the school when apprehended. That brought a wakeup call for most of Colorado and the AR Cult was broken. Not through laws but through citizen actions.

The fact remains that the AR is a Cult more than a firearm. Today, if you go into almost any pawn shop, you will see a wall full of ARs. What you may find is a decent hunting rifle but you have better buy it because it won't last long on the shelf. Yes, there are a lot of ARs out there (way too many due to the cult status) and it's the most destructive in a mass murder situation. Those 3 30 round mags can be shot in less than 3 minutes. That means, bring 4.

Ignorantly or otherwise, that Trump is a fascist is a widely held belief of the left.
Similarly, the left is more than happy to claim Trump hopes to be a dictator, an authoritarian, et al.

Is Donald Trump a fascist?

The US presidential election is neck and neck. But only one candidate has been compared to Adolf Hitler. Is it an exaggeration or based in fact?

Donald Trump’s “Dictator” Promise Is No Joke

The MAGA base is cheering on Trump’s antidemocratic rhetoric, which the media should take very seriously.

For those of you who -actually - believe you face the very real prospect of an authoritarian fascist dictator taking power, one question rises to the top:

Why are you so keen on taking "weapons of war" off the streets?

Here’s an idea. Keep Trump out of the WH and get weapons of war off our streets

There. Solved

 

[mamooth]

If you take 'weapons of war" off the streets, how are you going to get the authoritarian, fascist dictator out of office?

Nice "Nuh-uh!" evasion.

Anyways, your forgot the most important thing.

A actual liberal only needs one shot.

It's the clean living and sobriety. Conservatives wouldn't understand.

According to Heller V DC, the government cannot take your handguns from your home. But it can require you to have a license to take it out of your home.

 

[M14 Shooter]

We already know the party currently in power is. Once again, with Trump you are saying, "What if"? The best you've got is "what if" when we already know the party in power is.

Um...
I don't get it.

Did you notice how you -completely- avoided the issue put to you ?
It's because you don't have a meaningful response, and you know it.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Nice "Nuh-uh!" evasion.

Yes.
That's your entire post.
Tell me I was wrong when I said Hitler would have machine-gunned Ghandi and his entire movement.
You can't? Good.
Tell me where that leaves your 'non-violent overthrow' argument.

I addressed it DIRECTLY

 

[M14 Shooter]

You know your statement is false.

 

[LeroyDumonde]

Yes, he is populist,

He uses populist rhetoric but his first term in office he ruled as a Neocon.

nationalist,

Maybe an Israel nationalist. He himself said that Israel should own Congress.

ethnocentric,

Only if he's a crypto-Jew.

racialist,

He seems to understand that biological race is real. People who disagree also think that men can get pregnant.

chauvinist,

You mean a male chauvinist? Not really. He routinely puts women into positions of power. At best he could be seen as a Western chauvanist.

ant-democratic,

I don't think he cares about democracy among ants.

and authoritarian.

Yes, he is a fascist.

He hasn't done anything authoritarian. My verdict is that he's not a fascist.

 

[Independent thinker]

Um...
I don't get it.

I know. I know.

Can you gaslight any lighter? Your Gaslighting may form into another major form of energy.

People leave areas when overtaxed or feeling they can live better somewhere else. That in itself is proof of my validity. In every measure we are looking stronger than we did in the mid 1960's, yet we are not.

yeah they are a little slow,,

I cant help but notice you completely ignored what I said,,

is there a reason for that??

After the fascist dictatorship we lived through during Biden/Fauci's covid restrictions how can anyone think Trump is a fascist? Is there "good" fascism if a democrat is in power?

All anyone has to do is quote Trump in full context as well as observe his track record when he was President before. He was/is about as far from being a fascist as you can get.

On the other hand Biden/Harris and/or those in their administration are on the record as wanting to control our speech, what cars we will be allowed to have/drive, what kind of housing/neighborhoods we will be allowed, how much wealth we will be allowed, what kind of light bulbs, appliances, other things we will be allowed to have, the government will dictate what kind of healthcare we will be able to have and how much say we will have re our children about that. And the federal government will control a lot or even most or all of our choices in what ethics we will be able to have in our communities. THAT IS the FASCIST STAGE of MARXISM.

Look up the terms, so how the apply to the law and regulations, and try again.

all weapons are weapons of war,,

the 2nd A is specific for those weapons so you will have to get the constitution changed to do that,,
