Your opinion has been noted, but if all you have is an opinion that he's fascist. Then the opinion is all that you have.

Besides, the whole walks and talks argument has been laughed off this forum before.

If you don't recognize examples supporting opinions, your post is currently being laughed off the forum.

Trump sure seems to do a lot of deregulation and has reduced the power and reach of the bureaucratic institutions that undermines the whole "dictatorial leader with sever economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition" thing.

However, Obama's admin did like to control such things and used tools to enact it so... :shrug:

Diminishing power of government while enhancing power of the executive seems contrary to your point.

Why would a fascist let his daughter marry a jewish man? Why would a fascist surround himself with jewish people, support Israel and gay rights?

Believe me, I wish he was a fascist but sadly he's not. CNN lied to me.

Fascism has socialist roots. If you are looking for the new fascists, start with the Democrats. They have a tame news media. They are the ones slapping on labels, pushing hatred and promoting political violence. They are the ones claiming a solution to all problems. They are the ones trying to silence dissent in academia.

You have it backwards. Fascism isn't the government controlling business, its business controlling government, known as corporatism.

Liberals argue with each other over solutions. Conservatives fall in line behind their leader. Even now, they are supporting tariffs and deficits because their leader is. That's an example of Fascism.
 
Obviously not - but the question does demonstrate what a caricature of itself the left in this country has become - mostly on the younger side.

Back in Germany when the Nazis were spouting their anti-semitism, it was typical of Germans to tell their Jewish friends that they don't mean you, they mean the international Jewish conspiracy. We see that in Trump and his family and his little Fascist Jewish advisor.

You don't know your history. The principal difference between communism and fascism is that communists seized the businesses and fascists controlled them through regulations. Both were centrally planned economies.

That's sounds like a Democrat talking to a deplorable.

The mere transition of one industry or the advocacy there of does not make one close to a communist it takes a multitude of beliefs and policy prescriptions. Secondly overturning citizens united does not infringe on the freedom of speech unless you want to argue the past 200+ years has been a long time without such protections.

I disagree on both points. Actions that Communist regimes do, like nationalizing industries are Communist. If you do them, you move closer to Communism.

And McCain-Feingold's unconstitutional limits on free speech passed in 2002. It was a bad law and the SC's free-speech wing overturned it in 2010. The so-called "liberal" wing had no problem banning the free expression of political speech 30 days before a primary or 60 days before an election.

The result of ruling the law unconstitutional is the creation of an oligarchy, which is quite hostile to democracy. Speech isn't free. Its expensive.

Implying that Trump is only surrounding himself jews, supporting jewish interest and gay rights to hide that he's a secret Fascist. I wish it was true but that's pretty nutty.

That's the kind of ____ we're always going to see from imbeciles suffering from TDS.

It's so dumb and funny, it's better than ten Monty Python episodes and then a long string of Fawlty Towers episodes LOL

Your qualifications for nazi are absurdly strict in apology. Racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamophobe and hating the challenged is all that's required. Bigotry is all it takes to be a nazi. And hugging a black person doesn't make that go away.

What sort of racist bs is excusing a person of criticism because they hugged a black person? That's backwoods hick racist bs.

I see both of you have chosen to skip the whole, "if you hug a black person, that proves you're not a nazi" racist rhetoric. How strange.
