>Trump will go complete fascist
Yes, as opposed to his super progressive stances he's had up until this point... He's always been a complete fascist, thankfully for us he was just too dumb to fully capitalize on it while in office.
Trump isn't a fascist. His supporters are. He just says whatever they want to hear 🤷♂️
Trump understood that, or at least his handlers and now he's milking the fuck outta 'em.
"Trump isn't fascist he just says and does fascist things."
Seriously?
My man out here is really "well actually-ing" fascism.
Okay, since you're already here: how does it feel to be the dumbest person I know?
He's not not a fascist.
What's the difference? It's a democracy. There's some level of circularity between the people who vote for a candidate and the candidate themselves.
Are you defending trump or gatekeeping fascism?
He's literally pro-dictatorship. Loves the way North Korea is ruled: with absolute authority and with harsh punishments for anyone who disobeys their ruler.
The man is furious that his presidency did not grant him that. If he is elected a second time, he will aim towards dismantling democracy for his own gain.
Well... sort of.
Trump never has held and never will hold any coherent political views of any sort. His entire focus is on himself, and the rest of the world only matters to the degree that he might manipulate people and things to feed his own ego, greed and lust.
So what'll likely actually happen is that his mindless supporters will rage, the psychopaths who want the world that having him in power will bring will fan the flames of that rage while whispering in his ear, and yes - he'll go full fascist. But not because of anything to do with fascism specifically - I doubt he can even grasp the broadest concept of it. It's simply that that will be, and to some notable degree will be contrived into being, the thing that he will believe will lead him to what he really wants - simply to feed his bottomless ego, greed and lust.
He understands fascism instinctively, not in an intellectual sense.
Fascism is a lot like a government run by a toddler: Everyone who doesn't like me is bad and I should kill them. Also people who are weird are bad and we should kill them. And that land over there is mine so I'm gonna take it. All the while I'm going to complain about how I'm the real victim.
Bear Head by Adrian Tchaikovsky delves into this kind of psychology from the interesting angle of treating Narcissistic Sociopaths as an alien form of consciousness. It proposes that sociopaths hijack human social interactions, turning others into mere appendages that carry out the sociopath's desires.
He does hold coherent political views. If political views are those having to do with the allocation of resources, then you outlined them yourself. He wants to further his own ego, greed, and lust. He thinks the government should exist to fulfill his every desire, and that all resources should go towards fulfilling them. He's the ultimate embodiment of corruption, with no guiding philosophy beyond selfishness. That is political, because wanting the world to bend to one's own will through the use of government is political. It's a kind of God-Emperor political philosophy.
He already did for quite a while now.
That’s a take out of left field. No one could have seen it coming. /s
If Trump is representing the GOP, Biden wins with 80% of the vote and the Democrats end up with a near super-majority in the House and Senate. More than enough to impeach and remove members of the Supreme Court.
Yes. And obviously Hillary would landslide this buffoon
No, Hillary was the worst candidate to face someone like Trump. The GOP spent 30 years turning the public on her.

Stop, you’re making me horny
*and democrats will enable the fascist by doing nothing. As is tradition.
I'm genuinely curious what you think democrats could do legally that they aren't. I understand that many underestimated Trumps chances and true danger in 2015-2016 but what is this principled resistance that isn't happening?
Are you seriously here asking for money? That page looks like it was set up by someone who learned web development by taking a YouTube video course.
This is the unpaywalled version of the page viewed through a proxy.. Sorry it has that big ad there, but it's better than the alternative of not seeing the content.
what is that headline typeface, and is there anything i can do to un-see it?
i think john maynard keynes wrote something about it being ok to have a few serifs on a steady stream of glyphs, but it becomes problematic when the glyphs are but bubbles on a whirpool of serifs
