The other day I made a post where I was calling Trump a fascist. it was pointed out, quite appropriately by @themiddleway, that he's not really a fascist of the first order. he doesn't meet the standards of a Mussolini or a Pinochet. however he is trying. So, for the time being I will consider him a Trashist.
Seems to me such terms become defined by the behavior of those having set the worst example. trump’s just setting his own example. And as much as he & his clan are following any playbook, he’s ultimately led by his terminal malignant narcissism… I believe hitler was led by the same, followed by inhuman behavior on a national scale
I disagree on disagreeing with yourself. Trump is a fascist.
@hankster I'd call that a trashist, thrashist, trumpist, fascist.
"Thrashist" seems appropriate to me, and would fit the idea of his bringing Bannon to the party, early on.
See my recent post:[agnostic.com]
Barron is the Antichrist the OMEN spoke about.
@PondartIncbendog Bannon.
There's no bottom to how low Trump will sink. If he can, he'll drag this country down into a fascist hellhole with himself on top as the supreme leader. How long after that would it be until he starts to cleanse the land of all the wrong colored people and those who oppose him?
It sounds like a slippery slope but it'd happen so fast and so easily with just a few other factors falling into place.
The obstructionist republican fascist are using federal employees to harass, stiffer, and all out prevent Freedom of assembly, Freedom of speech and the Press if these are not Fascist tactics and use of overt force against any peaceful group not then what is Fascism???
Trump's secret police force, which is being deployed against 'the radical left' , is very similar to Mussolini's secret police in both staffing and purpose. So YA he is a fascist.
Trump's Little Green Pigs are nothing more than glorified prison and border guards, dressed in rambo-commancho gear.
Appearances are everything to Trump.
And if the military won't provide the Stormtroopers, he'll simply deck out a bunch of prison screws to look like the military.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
He's so proud of that, he can't stop talking about it
He does admire dictators. Dictators use him like the idiotic puppet he is.
He’s fascistic. He aspires to be a fascist.
Fascistic actions of a fascist. It's the exact same thing.
@barjoe no it’s not.
@barjoe You don’t have to be a Fascist to have fascistic tendencies.
@Marionville Trump had more than just tendencies. He's a fucking fascist.
@Marionville, @Gatovicolo semantics
@barjoe I’m merely referencing the exact definitions of both words...nothing else.
@Marionville fascist is a noun, fascistic is a adjective that's a form of the same word...thank you
@barjoe definitions.
@Gatovicolo
adjective
Also fa·scis·tic [fuh-shis-tik] . of or like fascism or fascists.
@barjoe of or like fascism, not fascism.
@Gatovicolo STOP! I know it's a different word. I don't like to argue about facts.
@barjoe Ok he totalitarian. Feel better?
He's a non American... Basically...
A puppet of Putin.
@hankster If that were the case, the Chump's nose would have reached the moon by now.
trump and the obstructionist republican fascists do not care about any of us!!!
They are own by the wealthy and their corporations who do not need the vast majority of us to profit off of anymore, we are now a burden to these so called elites!!!
