lot of takes on my personal take. im not butthurt just bc hes going after opponents. this is my personal alarm after a long list of the usual steps a dictator takes on the road to fascism, which trump continues to check off, including:

• Emphasize extreme nationalism and deploy propaganda.
• Identify and scapegoat minority groups or “enemies” for national problems.
• Suppress opposition, including persecuting political rivals and dissenters.
• Gain control of the media, using censorship and propaganda to dominate information.
• Militarize society and create or use paramilitary groups to intimidate and enforce order.
• Indoctrinate the population, especially youth, through education and organizations.
• Establish intensive surveillance and create a police state atmosphere.
• Assert state or leader control over the economy and subordinate all sectors to regime goals.
• Exhibit aggression and pursue expansionist or militaristic goals.
• Establish totalitarian rule and develop a cult of personality around the dictator.

keep 'both-sides'ing to cover for the pedo wannabe-mafioso if you want to.

I don’t have any unique affinity or unique dislike for Trump

I also don’t really think it’s worth it to go through all these since I don’t think either one of us is going to be persuaded here, but just what I noticed off the cuff:

These criteria are all either so broad they’re basically meaningless/cover basic functions of government, have precedent in US/western/world history without being called fascist, or aren’t really meaningfully true

Ex: by the same standards, many US presidents (including Lincoln, Wilson, or FDR) would be fascists, as well as a lot of other world leaders past and present who do not get the same accusations.

The obvious reality is that bringing this up is just a pragmatic means to an end of: associate with fascism > Nazism > completely discrediting without a second thought > opponents (Dems) stave off the threats to their power
