America
The Land Of the Sheep And The Home Of The Naive
President Donald Trump and his administration have faced attacks from the American people since before he was even sworn into office. One thing I constantly hear him accused of is,
FASCISM.
My question is,
Do they even know what Fascism is?
There are many different, sometimes conflicting, definitions of Fascism. I will try to briefly outline some of the core ideas of Fascism here just to educate the American People. Bear in mind that not everyone is interested in truth or reason. If you continue to read this then I am grateful for your interest in the truth and my humble attempt to convey it to you.
Radical Authoritarian Nationalism
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism )
Dictatorial Power
Ultra-Nationalism
Suppression of opposition BY FORCE
Single party system
Nationalization of Industry and Commerce
Opposed to democracy
Supports rule of the elite
Violence is not necessarily wrong
Political violence, war, & imperialism = national rejuvenation
Party controlled militia
Social Darwinist – purge the weak/degenerate, cull the herd
These are pretty well agreed to be common to all definitions of fascism.
Which of these tenets are you accusing Former President Trump and his administration of?
Or,
better yet:
Which of these tenets are you accusing Former President Trump and his administration of
INTRODUCING
to the political landscape?
What are you accusing them of that countless other politicians have not done or planned to do?
I have my own personal views on these questions,
but I am asking this to spark independent thoughts in you.
Stop and think.
Calling someone a fascist, or nazi, or commy, or anything else without knowing the meaning of these words shows the accuser's own ignorance and discredits their message.
Support your accusations with documented facts, sound reasoning, and clear definitions.
Don't just grab at peoples' emotions with hot-button words to get an unreasoned response.
Otherwise you start sounding like the very pundits and politicians that we All despise...
