Fascism
a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Led by a Dictator -- neither Trump nor Biden can have their presidency characterized as being a "dictator with complete power" but I can certainly agree that of the two Trump is the one more likely and more capable of becoming a dictator. However, Obama should not be ignored and if Michelle were to run then I think this would be a valid discussion.
Forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism -- We have the receipts. Facebook, Youtube, Google, and Twitter all shadow banned, de monetized, suspended, and otherwise censored opposition and criticism at the request of the DOJ, FBI, and alphabet agencies of the US government. Trump was not responsible for this, he was the target of this. He was investigated for 3 years by Mueller, there were two impeachments, and 91 indictments, all political, all hypocritical, and all as a way of suppressing opposition.
Regimenting all industry, commerce -- the clearest example of this was the vaccine mandate and that was done by the Biden administration. Yes, Trump was involved in bringing a vaccine to the market in record time during a pandemic, that is what we would hope to see in a war time president. That is similar to FDR's response to Pearl Harbor. But the vaccine mandate of an EUA vaccine, firing people if they didn't comply, not providing all the research on the vaccine to those who had agreed to take it waving their rights to sue, that was by definition fascist.
Emphasizing an aggressive nationalism -- That is a very clear reference to Trump and "make America great again". This is the only reason that anyone can use to claim he is fascist, that he is a nationalist. The accurate and precise word for someone who is nationalist without taking any authoritarian measures is "populist". Yes, no one can become a dictator of a fascist regime without being popular, but populist and nationalist are not the same thing.
Often racist -- The only person with racist policies is Biden. He was closely involved in the two most racist bills the US ever passed. The only person with racist quotes is Biden. They have gone onto the street asking random people from the inner city "if these quotes from Trump are racist" and everyone agrees, they are totally racist only to then learn they are actually quotes from Biden. This is why Chicago and NYC now have dynamic campaigns for Trump to turn those two democratic strongholds red.
In conclusion, we should be alarmed at many things that Biden has done. Labelling parents at School board meetings domestic terrorists, that is fascist, using the DOJ to go after political opponents, that is what a Dictator does, calling 75 million Americans who voted for Trump "domestic terrorists" that is abhorrent. Mandating the EUA vaccine without providing all the research and despite the fact there were effective treatments was criminal.
We should also be wary of Trump's popularity that it doesn't lead to abuse of power.
There is no doubt that Trump has said things that are disturbing and unorthodox. I have repeatedly likened him to the jawbone of an ass that Samson used to slay the Philistines.
But we should be far more alarmed at the things that Biden has done. He brazenly lied to us about Hunter Biden's criminal activities during the Presidential debate. He lied about his involvement in those activities. Those lies are far more heinous than the lie Clinton told which led to his impeachment. I think it is crucial that we keep up the pressure because everyone knows if this were any other president, Clinton or Trump, they would have been impeached and removed a long time ago.
The DOJ indicted Hunter Biden on 9 counts based on the laptop which they had one year before the election. Think of that, they could have indicted him any time in the last 8 years but they wait until he is subpoena'd to a closed door hearing to keep him from testifying. This should be very alarming to all Americans. Donald Trump was impeached because he wanted to investigate what was going on in Ukraine, something he is obligated to do by law, and as it turns out may be tied to bioweapons labs being run by the US in Ukraine which could have been responsible for the pandemic. We don't have all the facts, but both the Russians and the Chinese have made these claims to the UN and we are idiots and fools if we don't take them seriously and investigate.
Finally, consider this, why is someone who isn't even an American and won't vote in this election so heavily invested in this debate? She claims she has come to our forum to answer questions about being an Orthodox Jew, questions no one had been asking. I have asked her 5 questions about what Orthodox Jews believe and think and she has ignored all 5 despite starting a thread to answer questions. Is that just a cover for her interest in trying to bash Trump? Can anyone really believe that an "orthodox Jew" who "can't show their elbows in public" would support abortion up to the time of birth?
