America will regret its decision to reelect Donald Trump

As you point out with Trump's billionaires, we're more likely to become an oligarchy where the rich become even richer and the corporations run our government.

Ummmm, methinks we have slightly different definitions of fascism.
Mine is "corporations running the government, backed by an angry oligarchy and festooned with beligerent ultranationalism and fundie religiosity for street theater purposes, defended by an elite warrior class of fully indoctrinated military that controls the rank and file enlisted class under them."
 
I'm thinking more like 75 to 90 percent. Bigotry will always exist among the ignorant, the stupid and the mentally ill. As the US, and the world at large, becomes a more blended society and as more people are educated that races do not genetically exist, then bigotry, especially racism, will die out.
DONT TRY TO BLAME YOUR PROBLEM ON ANYBODY ELSE!
The Party of Trump has a foundation of bigotry and fearmongering.
DON'T TRY TO BLAME YOUR PROBLEM ON TRUMP OR ANYBODY ELSE!
Pedo Don pushes an "Us vs. Them" agenda. The ignorant, the stupid and the mentally ill follow and support him.
You don't support Trump, Sybil.

Redefinition fallacy. Fascism is government manipulation of markets. It is a form of socialism, like Democrats.
 
"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." (Anatomy of Fascism, p 218

th
You perfectly described the dem/commie party. You need to catch one of those Trump hats, put it on, and then say
GOD Bless America for I've finally seen the light where I'll now stop supporting my anti American dem party
 
You perfectly described the dem/commie party.
You'd best read it again;

"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." (Anatomy of Fascism, p 218
 
If you live for another 10 years, the odds are good that you'll not only see the Orange Jesus die of natural causes, but the Party of Trump disintegrate with his passing.

Cults of personality don't last long once the personality is six feet under.
You obviously haven't been paying attention during this last month and a half as the American people just can't wait until Trump takes over and straightens out every single failure your idiotic dem party has made on the U.S. of A. Your dem party is all but
washed up, and you friggin know it.

An interesting definition. Mine is strictly textbook:

The 14 characteristics are:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism

Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs,
and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing
and in public displays.

2.Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights

Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are
persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The
people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions,
assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3.Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause

The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a
perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals;
communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4.Supremacy of the Military

Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a
disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected.
Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.Rampant Sexism

The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated.
Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to
abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

6.Controlled Mass Media

Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the
media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media
spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7.Obsession with National Security

Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8.Religion and Government are Intertwined

Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a
tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from
government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically
opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

9.Corporate Power is Protected

The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put
the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government
relationship and power elite.

10.Labor Power is Suppressed

Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government,
labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

11.Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts

Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and
academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or
even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often
refuse to fund the arts.

12.Obsession with Crime and Punishment

Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The
people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the
name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited
power in fascist nations.

13.Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who
appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority
to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for
national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by
government leaders.

14.Fraudulent Elections


Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are
manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition
candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries,
and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to
manipulate or control elections.

Hater, while I feel sorry that you are not the brightest bulb on your family tree, it's only honest of me to point out you are wrong again.

Having witnessed what works and what doesn't with friends and family, I'm a big fan of tough love...although the link below favors "setting boundries". IMO, they are close enough to be the same. In short, your family would benefit you more by stopping letting you be a mooch. They should kick you out while emphasizing their love for you.

Tough Love vs. Setting Boundaries

Instead of tough love, healthy boundaries are often a more effective and sustainable solution. Your boundaries are the limits to what you are willing to accept in a relationship.4


Healthy boundaries should be clearly communicated. It is also essential to maintain these boundaries by following through with consequences. Examples of boundaries for dealing with addiction include:


  • Not allowing drugs or alcohol in your home
  • Not giving another person money to pay for drugs or alcohol
  • Prohibiting driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Refusing to make excuses for another person's actions

Explain these boundaries to the individual. Using "I feel" statements can help express your feelings without being confrontational or accusatory.

Under your moniker you state defend the Constitution. How's that happening under democrats with their complete disgust
with our 1st and 2nd Amendments, where the 1st Amend was totally trashed with your silencing the people via mandated
lockdown, arresting children's parents for merely arguing with teachers and their union, censoring nearly every Republican
media outlet and Republicans with a differing political view, arresting people for peacefully protesting outside Planned
Parenthood venues, closing Catholic churches during COVID, and destroying Christian statues etc. And the 2nd Amend
always gets another democrat up in arms over the fact that people have a right to own a gun. Even the cackler said quite
clearly that she wanted to have a pay back for all privately owned guns. In other words, it would lead to illegal confiscation
of those guns for the 100% of legal gun orders who would never give up their gun rights to you communists.

Yup. 👍
I guess we're both on the same page.

Nope. Fascism is government manipulation of markets. That's it. That's all. It is a form of socialism, like what DEMOCRATS want.
