Nothing wrong with a little fascism to win a war every now and then (ground war or trade war, either or). I support our president!!!



"Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA."


...And for those drive-by political theory experts on the couch who don't understand why this is textbook fascism, keep googling and keep trying different keyword searches.

When existence is threatened, the first thing everybody throws out is the rule book.

That is a universal truth for all groups and cultures.

Few examples off hand:

Liberals hate guns, except the ones protecting them.

Socialism is for the people, the Socialist live in mansions and eat at fine restaurants while being chauffeured around.

Lefties want YOU to pay more taxes, but they all become conservatives on April 15.

Lefties hate America but would not consider living anywhere else in the world.

So a tongue-in-cheek tweet is literally textbook fascism? Got it.

Please stop using this phrase. I know you and your ilk are grasping at any little straw you can to turn Trump into the next Hitler, but it isn’t working. The third Reich is not rising again. Trump isn’t marching into neighboring countries. He isn’t rounding up Jews and other undesirables by the millions and shipping them off to gas chambers via cattle cars. And as much as you might want him to, he isn’t lining up his political enemies and having them shot.. unless you can come up with valid facts to back up your anti trump arguments and not use the “omg he’s literally Hitler” argument, just stop posting.

He doesn't have the authority to order businesses to stop doing business with China, I think he over-reached with using the term "hereby ordered". We love to talk about limited government but that sort of rhetoric is the exact opposite.

What would have been better would have been to issue something along the lines of "Our great American companies need to start looking (immediately) for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA because we're getting ready to turn up some serious heat."

The "order" smacks too much of something Democrats would do.

You seem really fixated with Hitler, ma'am. I don't know why your mind went directly there and why you wrote 200 words of prose. But to each their own!

Personally I was thinking more Franco and got more of a Franco vibe yesterday when I heard about the president's tweet. It pertained to economic policy, not genocide. But if that's your thing, then go for it!
