Is Today's Trumpist GOP Fascist?

It's sad to me that some don't see a clear choice. Sure there could be better choices on both sides but sheesh!.

Above everything else, Trump supporters are bigots who hate all the same people that Trump hates.

Well lookee here. In Whells home state, 16 Republicans, including the GOP State Co-Chair and its RNC national committee woman, were indicted on multiple felony charges for conspiring to steal the election for Trump. So, in his home state on the very day that he denied fascism in the ranks of the GOP, Whell is faced with the imminent indictment of his Dear Leader and a bunch of his state GOP leaders are looking at years in the Grey Bar Hotel. LOL.

A Charlottesville tiki torcher who just did some time on his 2017 conduct has now been charged with storming the U.S. Capitol on Donald Trump's behalf.

A precise statement of the current political situation here in the US.
Even if $45 is out of the picture, he has empowered his cult with his deep seated hatred.

The Orange stain (trumpism) on the republican party will remain for years after he's gone. In fact it may never recover.

"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it," Graham tweeted in 2016 when Trump was campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination.

It's so easy to see where this guy is coming from 'cause he's not near as clever as he thinks he is.

Or you're more gullible and not as bright as you think you are.

It's undeniable that modern liberalism mirrors many central elements of the early 20th-century fascist and communist regimes. To build the "GOP is fascist" trope, the left has focused on the personal characteristics of those regimes' leaders.

What this focus ignores, maybe quite purposefully, is the move toward increasing the political power of elites and centralization of government power at the expense of individual freedom and rights. BOTH major parties in the US are responsible for allowing this to happen.

What a lying sack of crap you are.

By Thursday morning, the chapter had removed those versions and posted its new copy of the newsletter, replacing the Hitler quote with the chair’s apology.

For context, this is one newsletter from one chapter of a growing and very decentralized organization. You're using the relatively benign act (to the extent that the person who added that quote to the newsletter didn't know where it came from) of one or a few folks in one local chapter to paint and entire group.

Lying and intellectually dishonest in one post. I'm sure you're quite proud.
