Which candidate fits the bill?

Let's take a look



quote:

Fascism is a far-right[1] form of government in which most of the country's power is held by one ruler or a small group, under a single party.[2][3] Fascist governments are usually totalitarian and authoritarian one-party states.[4][5][6] Under fascism, the economy and other parts of society are heavily and closely controlled by the government, usually by using a form of authoritarian corporatism, where companies and workers are supposed to work together under national unity. The government uses violence and police power to arrest, kill or stop anyone it does not think useful


It's not Trump and the repubs

Yeah, far right has always been attached to the definition, but the truth is fascism isn’t right or left.

And the Dems fit the rest of the definition to a T

A ton of words have lost their meaning with how much Dims and the MSM have thrown them around. For example, the word “literally”…

That’s because if you ask a 100% of the people who use the word, they have absolutely no idea what the fancy word means actually. Fact.

Yeah, it’s really not even what Fascism is. Like you said, it’s been changed to fit modern times.

The definition is pretty vague.

I think all governments are fascist.

"Fascist" doesn't mean "bad guys."

For all practical purposes, fascism and fascists haven't existed in decades.

It makes as much sense as calling someone a Viking or a crusader.

I know one thing. Fascism works best when citizens are armed and the government doesn’t arrest people for misinformation

I wish the next time she brings up that Trump is a fascist someone would ask her to define it. No way in hell could she do it. If she was able to define it people would quickly realize that her party is way more fascist than Trump or his supporters.

Not “usually.” This is what distinguishes it from other authoritarian / autocratic regimes.

Most of the people using the words Fascism or Fascist have no idea what it is. Whoever wrote that definition you quoted doesn't either.

The only right wing components of Fascism is Nationalism and Private Ownership. Among it's many left wing components are Authoritarianism, non-representative government, Socialism, centralized planning, corporatism, and subordination of individual rights.

Obamacare is very Fascist.

The EV Mandate is very Fascist.

The heavy regulation of industry is very Fascist.

The Government/Big Data/Big Social Media censorship effort is very Fascist.

The weaponization of Government against White People, Veterans, and Christians in very Fascist.

The IRS suppression of Tea Party groups under Obama is very Fascist.

The Government takeover of the Automobile Industry is very Fascist.

It goes on and on.

Most people using those words are very ignorant on the subject.
