Do MAGAs Believe Trump Is Just Pretending To Be A Fascist?

The long list of Trump’s Nazi-like statements is too extensive to just ignore. Although I’m sure they will try.

Trump has now said he would deploy the military against ‘the enemy within’, something deeply unconstitutional and wrong.

My question is, since Trump is signaling everyday that he is a fascist, do right wingers think he is just pretending to be one?
 
 

Righties love tRump not in spite of his fascism but because of his fascism.

A chunk of them do. A chunk of them want to return to a monarchy with women and minorities being subservient to the wishes of white men.

Yep. They long for it because they’re incapable of competing in the modern world.

Therefore, to their small minds, the only possible course is to subjugate others so they no longer have to compete.

It’s quite sad actually. If it wasn’t so damn dangerous
 
No, they're just also fascists.
 
To be honest, him wanting to use the military is very disturbing.

Imagine how bad Harris has to be for this to be a close race. I presume you all know, since you completely rejected her just four years ago.

You should try something new like telling us reasons why we should vote for Harris. Apparently you don't have any other than not Trump.
 
No, MAGA's believe you are pretending that Trump is a fascist.

Trump is bad enough, that should suffice.

Would you vote for Idi Amin if he was a Republican? Pol pot?

I think that’s more a reflection of just how shockingly racist this country is, rather than how bad Harris is.

This country is absolutely crushing it in just about every respect under the Biden/Harris administration.

No and I'm not this time. Again you're welcome to express your fantasies but I'm not under any obligation to subscribe to them. I do note you can't think of reasons I should vote for Harris.

You’re not voting for Trump. You must live in a safe state. If you lived in a state where it mattered. You’d be voting Trump.

I'm voting for Trump not Pot Pol or Ida Amin or Hitler or whoever you conjure up.

No, it's people look at the disaster that California has become and instinctually understand that it would be a huge mistake to elect a California Democrat for president.
 
I think that a lot of folks use the “that’s just Trump” phrase. Tho his style and rhetoric and calls for violence are unmistakably fascist-like, I don’t think they take his words seriously.

Personally, I am torn between the belief that if Trump attempts to do many of the things he has promised, people will rise up in the streets and courts and stop him, and on the other hand, the scenario of the Sinclair Lewis 1930s novel “It Can’t Happen Here,” about the rise of a fascist leader in the US.

Right, you’re voting for a despicable, abomination of a human being.

My point is at what point does someone become so bad, that anyone else will do. Certainly the threshold has been met by traitor trump

Given the history of his first term, isn't that enough?

A big problem in California is the rising homelessness and real estate values.

The primary reason real estate prices are so high in California, and why many people are homeless or having to leave the state, is the simple law of supply and demand: it is a highly desirable place to live, and so it has become very expensive to live there. So people have to move to less desirable places like red states which have far cheaper neighborhoods and cost of living.

That doesn’t mean that California has to become like the cheaper red states. Actually the reverse is true.

The history of his first term is better than the history of the last term. That's the reason people who don't like Trump will vote for him.
