I define a fascist administration as "An authoritarian fascist American administration would be a government that centralizes power under a single leader, suppresses dissent, undermines democratic institutions, and promotes ultranationalist or exclusionary ideologies—often using state mechanisms to enforce conformity and punish opposition."

Not by the above definition. I think we will. It be a government led by a single leader such as a Trump Jr. or a Gavin Newsom.

I don't believe ANY Democrat would be anything close to an authoritarian fascist dictator type figure and likely not most Republicans either. Unless trump has whet the right's appetite for it to the point that they won't vote for anything else.

While it's far from guaranteed that American democracy and government by rule of law will ever completely heal from the damage trump has done to it, I do believe that if we can get him out of politics permanently, the country has a decent chance of returning to a quasi normal state someday.

Hey Jake, I don't know how old you are but could you give an (or some) example(s) of the Democratic Party issuing authoritarian or fascist actions in the last 45 years?

This is about power, and both parties want it.

Stop stalling, stop blowing smoke and dropping labels like their legit beyond your personal opinion.

I do believe that no later than 2033 we will have a fascist governor under a Newsom or Trump Jr type leader.

Neither party believes in a democratic government.

Doubtful. I think Americans will resist...although it may take a few years.

Lord Acton is famous for saying "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Trump is corrupt and the more power he has, the more corrupt he'll become. Once he goes too far, such as shooting down a bunch of Americans protesting, then the majority of Americans will stand against him and his supporters.

The Democrats pushed for "Sit down and shut up, we know what's best for you" attitude for over 20 years. After several major election losses, they are recognizing they should come back to center.

It's obvious. An independent, I vote much more for Dems than Pubs, so I say get off your high horse and open your eyes.

I don't want a hard AOC world any more than a Trump world.
