[W: #76] Kamala Harris agrees that Donald Trump is a fascist: ‘Yes, we can say that’

[nota bene]

Moderator's Warning:

Time to board the civility train. Enough of this goading each other. Stick to the topic going forward.

 

[Paradoxical]

You just committed a kindergarten taunt: "I know you are, but what am I?"

You support a fascist. That's about as un-American as you can get.

It is your party. Stop projecting to get the spotlight off people you support. It’s not a good look.

^^ This guy openly calling Kamala Harris a domineering bitch was just crying about himself getting insulted on another thread. Person who can throw it out but hates it coming back to them. Maybe you should report yourself since insults are so upsetting to you.

Fragile males are the ones crying about being laughed at.

 

[beefheart]

Fragile masculinity projection.

He is terrified of women.

Isn't that trolling and against DP rules for one to do it as often as you do? I have not yet seen you give a reply to anyone other than your stoopid>>>>>>>>>>

It's cool, I get it. The programming says there is no choice but to believe he's fascist and/or a nazi. You guys are too deep now to turn back.

When all you've got is to denigrate the opposition and not address the issue, you've lost.

Kamala Harris has agreed that Donald Trump is a fascist in her most forthright statement yet in casting her presidential opponent as a potential autocrat harboring authoritarian visions should he return to the White House. The US vice-president and Democratic nominee crossed a psychologically important boundary in addressing the issue of fascism in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God.

It is the first time Harris has publicly endorsed using the word fascist to describe Trump and his plan for governance, although it has been raised repeatedly by some observers as his campaign rhetoric and threats to jail his political opponents have grown more ominous.
Her explicit approval of the word to describe Trump breaks new ground in a presidential campaign in which she has already criticised his warm relationship with the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, and stated admiration for other foreign autocrats.

The panicking Democrats are regularly using the "fascist" meme to describe Trump. They also compare him to Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. What? NO references to Chairman Mao? How insulting to the Chinese.
Why do people continually mention he will lock enemies up; become a dictator; deport all illegal aliens; shred the Constitution? Did he do that in his first term?
Here's the key takeaway from the WSJ article I attached:

The answer is that most Americans simply don’t believe the fascist meme, and for good reasons. The first is the evidence of Mr. Trump’s first term. Whatever his intentions, the former President was hemmed in by American checks and balances. Democrats, the press and the federal bureaucracy were relentlessly opposed to all his works, as they would be again.
Mr. Trump’s worst attempt at stretching executive power—reallocating military construction money to build the border wall—was small beer compared with Mr. Biden’s lawless $400 billion student loan forgiveness."

Do I think Trump is an actual fascist? Probably not.

Does Trump use rhetoric that is fascist in tone? Yes, unquestionably.

People talk about him locking his opponents up and being a dictator because of what he says.

When a Presidential candidate says he'll be a dictator for one day, when he says he'll use the army against 'radical leftists', people will talk about it - especially when that candidate previously, while President, tried to overturn an election and said he trusted Putin more than the US intelligence service.

I think you have a pretty good handle on Trump's behavior (past and present). It is wise to be cautious about Trump's intentions.
But Trump is not a king. The Constitution represents guard rails and checks and balances to keep Trump from becoming a dictator.
I have more faith in the Constitution and the laws of the land than the majority of the whining Trump haters who inhabit these political threads.

Yes, he tried to. Look it up. He tried to use the DOJ to investigate his political rivals based solely on the fact that they opposed him. DOJ staffers said no, they'd quit before using DOJ to "go after Trump's enemies." He succeeded though in having the IRS conduct invasive audits on Strzok and Comey. Look it up. If he's elected for a second term, he'll appoint people who will do his bidding and not threaten to quit when Trump goes full-on fascist. And haven't you heard him PROMISE to deport all illegal aliens? You don't think he will? That's his major campaign promise.

That's all? "People will talk about it"? You think there's no danger of him doing what he says he'll do, even though he "previously, while President, tried to overturn an election and said he trusted Putin more than the US intelligence service"?

Journalist Bob Woodward said in an interview with podcaster Tim Miller on October 17 that Dan Coats, Donald Trump's former director of national intelligence, suspects Russian President Vladimir Putin is blackmailing the Republican nominee

Here is the REAL Kamala. Not the Max Factor and media makeover one. She is a tyrant and a first-class bitch.

But you know the saddest thing is? That a male could be such a wimp like that and that THIS is what the nanny female anchors on CNN and MSNBC think males should be like. I think if I were a weakling like him and had to be married to a bitch like Kamala, I would do the maid too.

The more you push your alpha male bullshit, the more insecure, angry incel you make yourself look.
