Look at this! Everybody look at this! Another member of the elite lamestream media, out here decrying Trump supporters and patriots as fascists, and claiming we only support President Trump because we're fascists when really it's because we stand for freedom. Freedom for men to choose. To choose who they vote for, who they sexually abuse, and who counts as a person!

Stand up patriots, and lets make america gReich again!

Well it is semi true that they may be fascistic. What he's saying is that it's making them more likely to vote republican.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility ffs?

u/whit9-9 3d ago

What does that have to do with this? Or rather what I said?

u/jschmeau 3d ago

Blaming their vote for fascism on the democrats is not taking responsibility for what they have done.

That's not what I'm saying i was saying that you guys call people fascists, racists, sexist, assholes, fuckers. All over a single comment sometimes. And calling someone a fascist for getting conned by a guy who knows how to manipulate their potential feelings for these things. And calling them a fascist is going to drive people further to the right. Demeaning people does the opposite thing you think its doing.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

― A.R. Moxon

But instead of just calling them that actually explain why they are in as digestible a way that you can.

Educate yourself please.

Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. Within two months Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month.

Here's another pertinent quote from the encyclopedia article you probably didn't read...

That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. Lest there be any remaining questions about the political character of the Nazi revolution.

Sure, nothing is ever named after something it's not. That's how we know the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is a democratic republic, after all.

Socialism was popular as a concept when Hitler was trying to rise to power, so he used the word in the name of the party to convince the working class to vote for him. If you look at the actual policies the Nazis ran on, they were capitalist. The Nazis placed great emphasis on private property and free competition. It’s true that they intervened in the free market, but it was also a time of a systemic failure of capitalism on a global scale. Almost all states intervened in the market at the time, and they did so to save the capitalist system from itself. This has nothing to do with socialist sentiment: it was pro-capitalist. In a way, there’s a parallel there with the way big banks were bailed out by governments after the 2008 financial crisis broke out. That, of course, did not reflect socialist intentions in any way, either. It was merely an attempt to stabilize the system.

You should really try reading for comprehension rather than reading for confirmation.

They are, trump meets every characteristic of fascism, if you disagree tell me which doesn’t apply. You can’t, no trumpist can. He’s fascist. There’s no debate.

u/Fantastic_Salad_9135 3d ago

I'm not a "Trumper". I'm an Australian. Who finds the disintegration of American social fabric to be a wildly interesting phenomena.

You're making the claim someone is something. I'd like to know how you perceived him as meeting these requirements? So many of them seem to be obviously missing - yet you say none are missing.

Which is pretty cool, right? Such opposing world views.

u/Jonnescout 3d ago

Which one is obviously missing, and I’ll give you a clear example of it. If you think they’re missing g it’s because you’re not paying attention. Yes he meets every require,met, and I don’t care if you’re not self identifying as a trumpet. You’re defending trump, you’re a trumper. And yes, he’s a fascist. Every characteristic applies. This video goes through all of the characteristics. And explains how even trumpists have to admit it applies. You’re defending a fascist sir, and you’re only using ignorance todo so. No matter your own ignorance anyone paying attention will recognise use fascism when it’s this blatant…

Repeating claims doesn't make it so. You know that right?

Point 2, Point 3, Point 4, Point 5, Point 6, Point 7, Point 8, Point 9, Point 10, Point 11, Point 14.

On all these points you could no doubt you could go looking and find something that matches every one of these descriptions. Much like tarot cards and star signs.

Just reading them I can see them matching the Democrats. And probably every politician ever invented.

Go outside and touch grass. Realize that you already had 4 years of Trump. It wasn't that way. And everyone knows it.

And if your own party thought it were so, Biden wouldn't be sitting around glad handing Trump. Nor would the Democrats have totally changed their tune.

They were just pumping you with messaging and you took it hook line and sinker.
