Fascism In Europe, On The Road To Something Similar Here, Under Leadership Like The Trump Administration?

[Old 'N Chill]

Was watching this on TV, and too much rang true to what we might be starting to see today in America, under the Trump Administration, or any future administrations which might follow in his footsteps. Unlike these other leaders, Trump is not intelligent and although he tries to appear strong, he is very weak, hardly can be called a man, so that may be a plus. Hopefully this isn't where we are headed, if we are, I'm glad I'm older and with no children to worry about. Looking forward to the Biden Administration and hope we continue to enjoy our democracy and our free country.

Short answer? NO!.

Longer answer? IMO people who believe as you do have swallowed the Kool Aid of the "Thought Controllers" who own the Main Stream AND Social Media.

I guess I have to repeat this again:

Your post demonstrates Moral Panic, both as a victim of the Media and a convinced perpetrator/purveyor.

Moral Panic:

A moral panic is a widespread fear, most often an irrational one, that someone or something is a threat to the values, safety, and interests of a community or society at large. Typically, a moral panic is perpetuated by the news media, fueled by politicians, and often results in the passage of new laws or policies that target the source of the panic. In this way, moral panic can foster increased social control.

A Sociological Understanding of Moral Panic (thoughtco.com)

I've pointed this out time and time again in the years since the election campaign started in 2016.

In the current case you've allowed those who control both the MSM and Social Media to "panic" you by identifying their target (in this case Donald Trump) as a satanic figure of "great evil." Moreover, that by extension anyone who dared to support him are complicit "devil worshippers." This is the impetus for every witch hunt panic in history.

Your OP is scapegoating people who you've been convinced are evil and an ongoing threat to your indoctrinated worldview. Once in this mental state those who have absorbed this form of "religious belief" are capable of any "evil" against these "folk devils" based solely on emotion and fear.

You have been convinced that Trump is a Fascist, that those who voted for him are a combination of fascist, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, totalitarians...despite the fact that there is NO EVIDENCE of any of this aside from the false narratives purveyed by those "thought controllers."

I am a Black American, and I am not alone among the growing number of Black Americans who no longer buy the Kool Aid.

There are many Latin-Americans who know first-hand how such things worked in places like Venezuela, Cuba, and elsewhere who don't buy this Kool Aid.

There are tens of millions of other Americans who have woken to this problem and voted in the last election for the person you have been trained to despise.

It is not because we believe he is a Fascist, or any other kind of B.S. labeling. It is because we see he does prioritize our nation and it's citizens first. While we see many like yourself who chose to see our nation in other negative ways.

IMO what is actually going on is an insane push towards idealistic Socialism; despite how that never works out well if we can judge by history (Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Stalinist USSR, Maoist China, Pol Pots Cambodia, Chavez's Venezuela to name a few).

Feel better now that you're over with your senseless rant? Nobody needs to convince me of anything but Trump himself, and things he has done like suppressing voters, suppressing the media, violating his oath and the rule of law and gaslighting the public to believe his repeated lies. These things, among others lead to the road of fascism, I guess you didn't use the video as a refresher. Trump is a nothing, a nobody, but he's a wannabe everything and has failed, thankfully. He's a wannabe fascist, wannabe authoritarian, wannabe dictator, wannabe mafia boss, etc., etc. Luckily he's weak and ignorant, sad thing is, so are his worshipers. And who gives a **** what color you are?
