Fascist tries to kill civilians for political beliefs/Most media ignores it

It seems like you are trying to cover all your bases here.

"He doesn't advocate violence but even if he did I don't support him"

You support him because you bootlick for him and defend him when it's obvious that any sane person shouldn't.



Here's him advocating for law enforcement to slam detained citizens on their squad cars who aren't even convicted in a court of law yet.



Here's him praising a politician for assaulting a journalist.



No this isn't "normal politics". This is "wannabe fascism".

 

So...you don't vote because you don't support either candidate. I don't either, yet I vote because I wrote in a more worthy candidate, and, more importantly, voted in state and local elections on candidates and proposals that directly affect me and my community.

 

Did you get this verbatim from your alt-right blog?

 

I especially like that last bit from dachuda86, "[Dems] just don't want to moderate." That's rich.

 

He's managed to twist and construct the greatest strawman in his mind to help him rationalize his support of Trump. The Dems are somehow these corrupt individuals while Trump is "just an *******" - so hilarious.

 

Your point about how Trump's corruption is whitewashed......so true. And the part about "just an *******"?

As Garry Trudeau pointed out from his observations of Trump that led him to prominently include Trump in Doonesbury: "Biggest. *******. Ever."

 

So...you talk politics and rail on your opposition without ever bothering to exercise your freedom and right to vote...

Good for you, man

 

What we've learned.

1. Sometimes people who don't like Trump and Republicans do bad things.
2. If we are going to have a discussion about people who are fascist, then @dachuda86 should learn what fascism actually is.
3. The media will cover people who commit murder while supporting the president more than they will cover a man who runs into a tent and doesn't injure anyone.

 

Anyone who repeats talking points from white nationalists is probably alt-right. Shocking!

Spoiler

Except fascism is defined as a right-wing authoritative movement. You seem to want to redefine it, which is fine, but then state that you are doing so

 

this is where you go wrong. In its broadest sense fascism is simply elevating the (perceived) needs of the community over the needs, interests, and/or rights of the individual—usually sacrificing the latter. Hence you can see the significance of “fascism” in a variety of contexts, not all right-wing . . . e.g., eco-fascism.

fwiw

 

No you just described utilitarianism. That is not the definition of fascism.

Fascism is essentially the consolidation of power to a few individuals or a single individual where the public ties ultra-nationalistic pride to praising of the single individual. That is the most common trait shared amongst all fascist regimes. All fascists regimes has a singular leader who comvinces the public that his or her word alone is more credible than all the institutions of the government that are in place. Fascists also use rhetoric that blames people or groups with less power and clout for the common economic anxieties felt across to deflect from criticism of the leader himself. Fascists tend to use terms like "I alone can fix all the problems".
