You say liberals have “fascist ambitions.” Name two.
This. But I’m sure what we’re seeing with our own eyes we really aren’t seeing. I’m just exaggerating according to the board righties. You did a nice job here. This is all from the fascist playbook.
I mean we’ve got Republicans chanting to lock up their political opponents, members of congress saying that they want a Christian theocracy, talking about shooting AOC and Pelosi, having CPAC in Hungary which is a fascist dictatorship, spending the 4th of July in Moscow with Putin. I’m not reaching!
It’s what makes me so nutso at times on here…this stuff is beyond obvious. Every single day I see something Marjorie Taylor Greene says that’s repulsive. Everything you posted, things she says, Matt Gaetz talking about women too ugly to screw and these guys and goldmom are like, “Meh.”
Why only two?
Level of. Level of X.
Tell me you don’t know what fascism is without saying it.
You want to address my points directly? Let’s do it. The President telling a group of thugs to “stand by” is pretty “level of,” no? Congressmen declaring they’re Christian Nationalists is directly out of the fascism playbook. You can’t debate that. That’s level of. (Whatever that means.) People in congress hobnobbing with Putin and Orban? Is that not level of? Trump urging his supporters to rough up the press and protesters and that he’ll pay their bail? That’s fascism. That’s Mussolini level shit. How fascist do you need things to be before you concede we’ve got a party actively embracing it?

Definitions tossed around here are more focused on the unique brew of what was going on in Italy & Germany back in the 30s. (still fuzzy though)
What is fascism?
Fascism is a political ideology that's actually pretty difficult to define.
Which is what I’m getting at. They went to actually fight against both because it was actual fascism and communism. Now we just get on HORT and retweet tweets and call each other whatever ism fits the narrative.
Every. Single. Handle. He comes up with is the same trolling projecting BS.
So you cherry pick one part of a Wikipedia page and basically throw up your hands and say that nobody knows what fascism is?

No. I was pointing out that it's messy, especially its colloquial usages. (what I've seen a million times over on message boards)So you cherry pick one part of a Wikipedia page and basically throw up your hands and say that nobody knows what fascism is?
Since you obviously haven’t read about it Nor watch the 10 minute video, in 30 seconds you can skim through one of the worlds leading experts on fascism‘s summary of its 10 common components, and he’s drawing from the policies and practices of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy under Mussolini, to Chile under Pinochet, as well as to today’s Hungary and US history and trumpism/gop.
i triple dog dare you to swipe through this link.
do you have the integrity to do that and think and respond honestly?

Do you know that the SS, sorry, "ice" can now perform no knock searches within 100 miles of a border? Know who ok'd that one? Ever heard of the "ministry of truth" and actually wanting to control what is truth?
First of all, no they can't. D'oh!

So they they ruled that people cannot pursue damages..... well done... we as citizens have zero recourse.First of all, no they can't. D'oh!
Second:
Outdated Legal Authority and Lack of Oversight
You tell me what point you hoped you were making here. Did you really want it to be Joe Biden who "ok'd that one?" Do you think today's Supreme Court has some liberal majority no one knows about? Yikes.
- The regulations establishing the 100-mile border zone were adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 1953—without any public comments or debate. At the time, there were fewer than 1,100 Border Patrol agents nationwide; today, there are over 21,000.
- The Border Patrol often ignores this regulation and, aside from limiting interior checkpoint locations to within the 100-mile zone, rejects any geographic limitation on agents' authority. At least two federal circuit courts condone Border Patrol operations outside the 100-mile zone, federal regulations and Supreme Court precedent notwithstanding.
- Federal border agents are stopping, interrogating, and searching Americans on an everyday basis with absolutely no suspicion of wrongdoing, and often in ways that our Constitution does not permit.
- For example, Border Patrol, according to news reports, operates approximately 170 interior checkpoints throughout the country (the actual number in operation at any given time is not publicly known). The Supreme Court has upheld the use of immigration checkpoints, but only insofar as the stops consist only of a brief and limited inquiry into residence status. Checkpoints cannot be primarily used for drug-search or general law enforcement efforts. In practice, however, Border Patrol agents often do not limit themselves to brief immigration inquiries and regularly conduct criminal investigations and illegal searches at checkpoints. The Border Patrol also frequently pulls over motorists in "roving patrol" stops, often without any suspicion that an immigration violation has occurred.
No, warrantless home searches are not legal within 100 miles of the U.S. border
Claims the Supreme Court allowed warrantless home searches within 100 miles of the U.S. border are false. Here’s what the court actually did.
Fact checking does not mean "controlling what is truth." And we could've used something like this leading up to Pizzagate, Alex Jones sicking his followers on the Sandy Hook parents, and when the Republicans decided to push the big lie that the election was stolen. Can a democracy be healthy when lies go unchecked?
