Pretty sure it was an honest mistake.

Love how the opposite of liberty in this chart is supposed to be security. I wonder how many prisoners would first describe their situation as being "secure".

I am not a Republican and have no desire to join, but I think as a constitutional conservative Christian and boderline libertarian Republicans have more options for me. They at least still mouth the words.

Stop getting emotionally anchored to the term.

He was instrumental in getting the MIC and government in an unholy union while bolstering the CIA and FBI powers. This is actual fascism...burning jews and catholics in ovens is just horror and racism, and has little to do with the actual governing philosophy of fascism.

Yea that’s where I’m trying to decide where I fit in. I think modern day America has gone too far right and left for me to fit in either of those parties.

I think the biggest connection today is that a lot of conservatives (including me) think the Nazis had much cooler uniforms than the allies.

Look at the guy's post history. 99% Sports-related.

He had a political question, and he made the mistake of asking it in a piranha tank.

I don't think there's an effective alternative. I also think you'll find if you go too far out of norm you remove yourself from the process. LP has been trying to show themselves as the unique alternative for decades and never gets more than 1-2%.

Please pray tell how wanting to actually enforce our laws, keep out of other peoples business, and maintain the economic and cultural values that made us the worlds elite “too far right.”

Communist face a burning desire to depict fascism as the right wing equivalent of their evils. In truth the right side of a political spectrum if that’s how you choose to visualize it would be anarchy.


This is the correct answer. The further left you go on the political spectrum, the more govt control you have.

Fascism is claimed to be “extreme right” by “academics” because they cannot let the masses think, correctly, that all totalitarianism is on the left.

Yep. Fascism is basically socialism with a thin veneer of capitalism to give the masses an illusion of choice and personal autonomy.

Huh? I do think there is a draw in this world of disconnected reality and chaos to the order and identity of a totalitarian government. That's one of the traps we are being set up with.

With all due respect, YOU are getting "anchored" to only one element of a multi-prong test for "fascism."

Interesting chart. Adequately "busy" to make your ears bleed, but lots of interesting data if you can stop the hemorrhage.
