You just listed tactics used on most modern day protests then told me to pay attention?

That's not proof of fascism. That's just a Tuesday.

Like I hate the guy, but this is a bad proof. He's a generic corrupt Capitalist politician. It's a best proof he's good at trolling the left.

He held the bible for a photo op? That's your proof he's tangibly doing fascist actions?

You know a large majority get sworn in on that thing?

It also isn't anything Trump has actually done. He jokes about being violent or fascist to get attention and goad the left into giving him even more attention - and they fall for it every time. He laughs at them with his supporters about this.

Yeah, that said - I don't think he's a fascist yet. I think he's an extreme Capitalist with a narcissistic personality.

He likes to joke, play, and dance with violent rhetoric to get views and likes. He goads the left into giving him attention, and his supporters find it funny.

So I think he'll be a more run of the mill candidate than most on the left are claiming. This is because American democracy is already corrupt, already serves mostly the wealthy and bigotted, at the cost of the stupid, poor, vulnerable, and ignorant.

So he won't be a noteworthy fascist unless there's a government action results in a mass violence, OR he refuses to leave office.

I don't think this has anything to do with it, because there are plenty of stadiums that don't have built in snipers nests.

That's the thing about civilizational collapse, they seldom go away, they just change forms.

Can't we just do like, lines on the road that have specific meanings? We could put it all in a book of rules and standards? Make it a nation wide system?

This video explains it well:

Basically Trump is a very American person, stemming from a very American history and culture.

He's not an ideal, he's not what they want American history and culture to have been. He's a product of what it actually has been.
