Suggestion for Paul street: the use of “proto-fascist” gives some room for discussion, developmentally speaking, where “fascist” seems to end the discussion.
Would you please provide your definition of Facism. I read the 'this and this' but didn't see anything about the underlying way facism works. My understanding of the word, historically, is that facism is when gov'ts and business colude to stomp out the individual.
Fascism="Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power” ― Benito Mussolini.
It's the boot on the face for eternity. But to me, these posts focus on one single word, dictatorial leader (Trump 2024 ->) and nothing of the rest of it.
From my perspective, being unvaxxed unmasked and having been fully censored for showing a different perspective (one which I read in the polls that show alot of new converts too). I've been living in facism the past two years. Our government has been in collusion with an FDA that has been hijacked by big Pharma to demonize, ostracize and take away individual rights. That is fascism.
From the past two posts here, it seems to have morped into being a trope.
M&W. Facism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
I am not a Trumpie. I am one of those who has been through the polarized bs, and see right through it now; most of our politicians are Uniparty, despite the charade. The reason why the polls show close races is because of the undecided. You can look to NJ in 2021, the Gov race, to see how it breaks. People don't want Republicans, but Democrats are not giving them a choice.
80% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans believe that the other political party poses a threat that, if not stopped, "will destroy America as we know it," per the NBC News poll. I don't believe there will be any sort of civil war. What will happen is that Republicans are going to starve the Dem controlled cities, and it will feel like civil war to those living there.
