Donald Trump is not dangerous.
What’s dangerous are historically illiterate generals.
Q: “Do you think Trump is a fascist?”
John Kelly: “Well, I’m looking at the definition of fascism. It’s a far-right movement with a dictatorial leader and forcible suppression of opposition… So certainly in my experience, he falls into the definition of a fascist”
John Kelly, with no due respect, is a *MORON.*
Fascism is a political movement rooted in European nationalism and socialism. It operates on the principle that politics, society, and economy are unified in the state and directed by a dictator. As Benito Mussolini summarized: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
Fascism, although not defined by nationalism, is often accompanied by great power chauvinism. This worldview can lead to the dictator’s pursuit of foreign wars and regional expansionism.
Fascism is a type of authoritarian collectivism, which differs from socialism predominately in terms of propaganda and scale of political ambition.
So, is Donald Trump a “fascist”?
If you answered in the affirmative, you have failed this Politics 101 lesson.
Donald Trump faced an overwhelmingly hostile media while in office. He did not censor his opposition, unlike his political opponents, who actually censored him.
Trump did not use lawfare against his political opponents. On the contrary, they sent an FBI raid to his home under dubious legal pretenses.
They illegally appointed a “special prosecutor” to bring politically biased cases against him.
Trump did not send an unarmed mob to the capitol on January 6 to commit a “coup” against himself.
He did not seek to disrupt the legal and constitutional election objections that were taking place at the time.
On the contrary, his opponents tried to impeach him over the riot that was allowed to happen, in direct contravention of his wishes, as stated on the record. Then they used the event as a pretext to try to prevent him from running for office again; an undemocratic form of election interference.
Trump did not try to stop his opponents from running in the election. On the other hand, there were illegal attempts to remove him from state ballots and to ban him from becoming president under the 14th amendment.
Trump respected Americans’ constitutional rights while in office. His political adversaries have abused the First Amendment rights of Americans through censorship. They have violated bodily autonomy rights through va**ine mandates. They have violated Fifth Amendment rights of defendants in the J6 cases.
Trump’s enemies then have the audacity to call him a “fascist.” This is a classic case of “confession through projection.”
