What's incorrect? Mussolini did in fact start out as a socialist, and couldn't get any traction with the Barcelona crowd, so he went off on his "third way."

Mussolini was still left winged. The left winged political parties of Italy didn't want to include his politics.

Have you asked yourself why lefties will excoriate fascists but won't say much about Marxist scoundrels?

Because Marxists are goofy bastards who - these days - are only seen if there are fascists & boogs around, and otherwise sit in Starbucks on daddy's credit card playing Magic the Gathering.

How many antifa (since you apparently equate the two) did you see prior to Charlottesville?

Mussolini was whatever he had to be to achieve his goals, which started out as "cripple the mafia" then turned to "let's invade Ethiopia for reasons I can't explain" to "Hitler's stooge." Mussolini's idea of fascism was ripped off from the Roman Empire, rather than the German grab bag of antisemitism and territorial claims going back to the 30 years war.

How many Marxist bastards do I see, now, with ANTIFA and BLM, you ask?

Mine is really to just get rid of Trump. It's not even that much about the issues. He really HAS no clear or coherent position, it's something different every day: China is good, or China is bad; Universal healthcare is socialism, or he will give us the best healthcare plan that will cover everyone; He will spend on the military, give us the best military equipment the world has ever seen, and have a muscular hawkish foreign policy, or the military leadership hates him because he doesn't want wars and doesn't want to further fund the military industrial complex, etc, etc... it goes on and on.

This is not about the issues. It's about having a corrupt, lying, ignorant, incompetent, manipulative, and exploitative leadership who is more interested in personal power and fame than what is good for this country. He will say and do whatever needs to be done to reach that primary objective. That is dangerous for the country. It's like having a drunk driver behind the wheel. Someone needs to take his keys away and send him back to his old "fabulous life".

In your last paragraph, were you writing about Biden or Trump? I couldn't tell.

You want clarity of foreign policy from someone with cognitive difficulties?
Guess who I am writing about.

I wouldn't get myself into a position where the FBI could interrogate me without proper counsel.

What? You're worried about the FBI over the question "how many antifa members did you see prior to Charlottesville?"

Just out of curiosity. What is your main motivation for voting for Biden/Trump/Jorgensen/Hawkins?

According to the Pew Research Center, the public's top 5 issues are the Economy, Health-care, Supreme Court Justices, Covid-19 and Violent Crime.

Mine will probably be the economy.

That didn't mean ANTIFA didn't exist before Charlottesville.

The Constitution has given the president power over protecting our borders from invasion, for example.
Congress did nothing to protect those borders.
The president took money from defense to build a border wall. SCOTUS agreed with this action by the president.

The constitution does not give the president power to protect our borders that is the power of congress. Read your constitution

Nothing is important if you are dead. Many thousands of people have died because of Trump's inability to address the virus successfully like other nations have done. The Corona Virus will be the #1 issue this year. Incompetence at its highest.

Pure BS on your part. In my case, I hate Trump because he represents the exact opposite of what I believe in and none of it has to do with politics or party platforms. He represents everything bad in a person.

I am not concerned about Covid-19. Based on recent CDC analysis, only 6% of all Covid-related deaths were actually caused by Covid-19 alone. The remaining 94% were of those on average with 2 or more pre-existing co-morbidities, and the vast majority of all all deaths are people 65 and older. COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics

My original analysis has been proven correct. If people were made aware of the above by an honest MSM, then IMO the scaremongering would be less effective. That most people would begin demanding re-opening and removal of required "protections" except when in danger of encountering those at greatest risk.

I am not that concerned about healthcare, as I am solid as a rock.

My concerns, in order of importance are 1. 2A rights, 2. SCOTUS/Federal Court appointments of original intent interpretations (to protect the 2A & 1A individual rights), and 3. The economy.

So I pick SCOTUS appointments. We've recently seen how the Courts skew to "activism" when Democrats are appointed. Just look at the 8 (Democrats) - 2 (Republicans) DC Circuit ruling rationale on the Flynn case. Weak sauce on fishy partisan bias.

Well, your president has clearly stated that he believes (believed) Covid-19 is 5 times worse than the flu, so that tosses your opinion out the window. Evidently he knows more about the disease than you do.

Tell that to this lady who's Trump loving father died of Covid-19. She blames Trump for not handling the virus the way he should have.

Making sure the least number of democrats are elected as possible. That should be everyone's number one issue.

Of course they existed. How often were they a problem before then?

They weren't. Tankies are a self-limiting problem.

so what makes you think that the legislature could not be convened. This is the action of an authoritative fascist

No he wasn't. He invented a far right wing ideology and rolled with it. At that point, he was extreme right wing.

I don't think anyone would ask you that because there is zero chance of getting an honest answer.
