    That’s a hilarious turn; my statement was meant to be rhetorical. But you really have never argued with fascists!

    And I never said YOU were fascist… but I guess that doesn’t fit with your canned response then, huh?

        Fascism:

        a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

        Yea wow, we’ve never seen that in the last 7 years!

        I can see I really triggered you with that word. It’s hilarious that you self-identified with it and got defensive.

            Ah, right- There are no fascists but if there are it’s the leftists! Thanks for a good laugh today. Don’t ever let facts get in your way, bud.

                Great theory, but lets take a look at reality.

                that exalts nation and often race above the individual

                Have you heard of MAGA?

                and that stands for a centralized autocratic government

                While Trump announced he “plans to eliminate executive branch constraints on his power if he is elected president in 2024”

                headed by a dictatorial leader

                See the last point…

                and forcible suppression of opposition

                Like Jan 6th.

                You can’t just make up whatever you want when you’re not in /r/conservative. You are constrained by reality. Nobody is here to delete my posts and ban me for you.

                    “lol, I hate the main conservative group in the US because they’re not the right kind of Scotsman conservative. Instead, I love the guy who been pushing the most extreme book-banning policy in the US.”

                    did you forget that this was a conversation about fascism when you brought DeSantis up, or do you not know who he is?

                    (rightly or wrongly)

                    lol no

                    But at the same time, I recognize that for someone who truly did believe there was election fraud

                    who do you think tricked them into believing that? or do you think it was all one massive coincidence?

                    But back to the definition, you can’t just pluck a couple of words out of there and say it’s a match.

                    That’s what you did. So I responded with actual examples, using the conservative front runner- and you replied with “no true Scotsman”.

                    That makes absolutely no sense.

                    Or, you mean like this very thread where leftists are trying to silence the TERFs? Yes, leftists absolutely love the forcible suppression of their opposition.

                    Oh wow did somebody place you under arrest for posting your opinions online?? Or does this have absolutely nothing to do with free speech, again?
