Half of Americans see Donald Trump as a fascist: POLL
Half the country sees Donald Trump as a fascist in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, amplifying concerns recently raised by Kamala Harris and past Trump administration members.
Half the country sees former President Donald Trump as a fascist, amplifying concerns raised in recent days by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump's own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris.
Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, again more than say so about Harris. But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn't intend to carry out -- underscoring challenges for both candidates as the fur flies in their increasingly heated presidential race.

The problem is that half of America likes fascism.
-
Fascism thrives on establishing an "In" group that has all the power and all the rights, and an "Out" group that gets nothing but suffering and is scapegoated for everything. You can guess which group that half thinks they'll be a part of.
-
The problem is that they always need an "out" group. So what happens when you get rid of all of the illegal immigrants? Suddenly, you're no longer part of the "in" group because you're neurodivergent or have the wrong color eyes. Or whatever becomes the new "out" group.
Then you're dead
-
My hypothesized order of scapegoats is:
- Non-cis gender identity
- Sexual orientation
- Neurodivergence
- Race
- Women
- Wealth
They can't be too obvious about the end state being the rich having absolute domination over the poor, nor can they jump straight to demographics that have historically fought for equal rights.
-
You forgot people of color and people who don’t hold an ever-narrowing definition of correct religious faith. And people belonging to unions.

This. Half of America likes fascist ideas, but don't want to to support THE WORD "fascism" since that's a bad word. Fucking idjits.
-
i would take a fascist, authoritarian approach to ridding the world OF fascists and conservatives if it would pave the way for the next generation to fix all the things the 20th century broke.
-
You can't fight fascism with fascism. 😒
-
yes you can
-
You really can't, because once they killed off the conservatives they'd move on to a new target to kill off. Fascism is a project that can't ever be finished, it always requires new enemies to exterminate.
