    Definition of fascism (Merriam Webster)​

    1: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

    2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control - early instances of army fascism and brutality— J. W. Aldridge

    Ever wonder why Trump does rallies with such regularity? And he presents short and often easy to remember lines that the crowd can repeat? "Lock her up". "MAGA". Etc. Its a form of mass politics that conditions the crowd to think alike and feel welcoming and belonging. Member of the crowd then relinquishes critical thoughts willingly. Pull up any interview from a MAGA goer and one can see the disconnect. Moreover, there aren't concrete ideas on how to "Make America Great Again" or what it is. These people are selling a myth, much as Mussolini and Hitler sold. And they will chase thus myth with whatever means necessary. Whoever they kill.

    So yeah this ultranationalism added with the authoritarianism. A sprinkle of the cult personality. A sprinkle of this resentment politics. And we have a full bloom fascist movement.

    Thankfully trump is a selfish buffoon. He has already exhausted the little wealth his poorer true believers have. He doesnt spend the money he received on anyone else. He is buying private jets, etc. The chef's kiss? This past august, his super pac received $5. That's not a typo.

    So now the radical, socialist, Liberal, takers, evil groomers, baby killers, etc., are directly responsible for the divisions in this nation!!! Maybe...just maybe the people that chose to accept the lie from their chosen sources that every Democrat is, in fact, a radical, socialist, Liberal, takers, evil groomers, baby killers, etc.

    Here's the thing, what was considered a Republican just 30 years ago would be considered a RINO with you MAGA extremist and that can be back up with actual evidence, not feelings or talk show propaganda. There's a long list of Republicans that were ousted by extremist that has taken over that party. Hell, a fiscal conservative/socialist liberal does not exist in the party anymore, all that exist these days are firestarters! Whether it be yelling about "open borders" (which do not exist) "welfare state" (which do not exist), to the "Green New Deal" (which is not written into law).

    I use the word extremist when describing your party because they have chosen to govern in a manner that doesn't seek the support of those that disagree with them. They routinely describe EVERY Democratic candidate as the "most socialist" to ever seek office in order to stoke out anger and fear with the voters. They choose to engage in issues such as LGBQ rights, Women's rights, CRT, and painting the opposition as Pro-Crime all in an effort to turn back the clock on all the advancements we have made since the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voters Right act.

    The Republican party support the violent attempt to overturn an election and now they are supporting candidates that have pledge to weaken election protections that are in place to prevent discarding votes that doesn't meet their liking. They are actively trying to subvert democracy.

    I can see how you say that and believe that. After all, it is what is said by your sources.

    I know we are at a divide in this country that probably can't be fixed so unity is not in my wheelhouse. It is also not in yours by your post and that is great. We agree on that completely it seems.

    Funny how you talk about Rhino and Maga Extremists and I would use the exact same wording to discuss Blue Dog and radical extremist lefties now. Really the exact same, so good post.

    I agree with most of what you said, just swap the sides.

    The question should be why does Joe not preform rallies?

    Because he believes in our Constitutional Republic and he chooses to govern in that manner. He was elected to govern, not to hold pep rallies every other week.

    Lol. Thanks. I didnt even look it up and knew the original boast was garbage. As are 99.9% of all his children and sycophants' claims about him. Its either hired actors to boost his crowds in one way or another or have dump trucks circle around the construction site to deceive a casino business partner that real work is done.

    Yeah, I am sure that's it. The amount they let him off the leash to answer questions should give you a hint.

    Sure, we can go with that, we will ignore the amount of not rehearsed questions he is allowed to answer.

    He answers plenty. You are just parroting right wing propaganda.

    Remember how Kamala was going to become President after 6 months to a year? The right wing idiots were so sure this was going to happen…..I bet my friend (who was one of those convinced unfortunately) $1000 that it wouldn’t happen, nope, wouldn’t even bet lunch….they spew the BS but when it comes time to back it up? I give you the Tucker Carlsons and Rudy Gulianis of the world…..
