I had a discussion with a right-winger last night about The Felon

When I made a statement that the Jan 6 Traitor was a fascist, this guy said, "Well, you shouldn't call him a fascist just because you don't like him."

I looked at him and responded, "I was a Political Science major in college, I've *studied* fascism. I've read Hannah Arendt; I've read Ernst Nolte; I've read Robert Paxton, Lawrence Britt, and Ruth Ben-Ghiat. If it walks like a duck, flies like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Donald. tRump. is a. F'ing. Fascist. Pee-Ree-Odd." He shook his head and walked away. IDK if I convinced him, or just made him mad, and really don't care. I used the term in an academic sense, not just as a pejorative. IOW, I stated a provable fact; he couldn't deal with it.

Trump is a fascist because he did not "forgive" my $140,000 student loan debt that I still owe on my useless Political Science major. ::)

I'd like this lying piece of filth to explain how it and so many others are able to freely publicly attack a "fascist" leader with no fear of "disappearing". If this DUmbAss really did study anything resembling fascism, it should know that one of the things that fascist leaders do is "disappear" their vocal opponents.

Oooooh, I studied fascism! You cited sources you've supposedly read but you failed to explain what fascism means. If you did, you would realize the President Trump is the furthest thing from fascism around. Zorhan Mandami is clearly a fascist, for example.

If trump was the bad guy, they have been claiming his is then why is DU still online in the first place to let those loons put out the garbage they post every day. The only ones stifling their speech or "Disappearing them" is EarlG and his minions that run that dung heap.
