I did and did and did and it's biased, so it sits at your level.

Now I ask, which 66% is not biased.

Put down the Zucchini and deliver facts please, not twisted opinions.

The problem is many people have a bad habit of defining fascism as how mussolini behaved, rather than the actual tenants of fascism. Frankly looking at the wikipedia entry virtually every model of government has exhibited the vast majority of those principles one time or another and they're not really part of fascism.

In the early 19th century the world was flirting with concepts like communism, socialism in general under several models, and that included things like market socialism like the Nazis or the fascists.

And if we're being honest those same models are being revisited today. There is a stark similarity between some of those models and democratic socialism for example as it's described in Europe.

Neither the Nazi model nor the fascist model actually calls for a supreme leader, that's kind of just how it played out. The same is true of Communism and Stalin. The vast majority of socialist models inevitably wind up with one person in control at the top running the show and not being excited about anybody else getting to run the show. China, north Korea, Russia, cuba, venezuela.... 

Honestly both Fascism and Nazism for the most part would be seen as legitimate models today by many on the left if you took away the racism and imperialism at the particular leaders of those parties subscribe to.

But because they are considered horrible words and terrible things to be as a result of world war II, the left pulls its' usual game of twisting the meaning of any 'bad' word and uses it everywhere without regard for it's actual meaning to refer to things they don't like. 

Everyone right of Castro is "far right" and "Nazi" and "facist" and "dunning kruguer".  (ok , that last one might just be robo but still) . 

Math can be racists, Everything is a genocide (except actual genocide), etc etc.

MAGATs should remember it is much easier to become a fascist dictatorship than it is to get rid of one.

Well, Conservatives support a strong Second Amendment and a more limited Federal Government, and folks on the left mock them when they bring up tyranny. 

So...

Ya, all those “patriots” will stand around, watch and do nothing. They will probably cheer as it happens because he (whoever it is) is their guy.

This applies to pretty much 90% of all people at this point. 

Unity is gone, tribalism rules, and objective knowledge is dead.

That is your problem of perception. Can't help you there if you want to believe a bunch of BS.

No, it's YOUR PROBLEM of FAILURE to perceive all the authoritarian moves that the current admin is making.

You don't even know that all the safeguards put in place after Nixon's crimes have been OBLITERATED BY Trump.

Like all the IG's were just summarily and ILLEGALLY fired by Trump (without the required Congressional notification).

*GASP* Oh no! Not the inspector generals. 

Is this a joke or something? 

How does that make us a fascist dictatorship? That was the assertion here. 

Also, the idea that Congress can tell the executive branch how to do anything with executive branch employees like the IG's is suspect and will ultimately fail. 

Even the Judge on the lawsuit was like... eh. She didn't try to reinstate them because it was pointless, because Trump has the ultimate authority over the executive branch and would just remove them again. The notion that Congress can demand a 30 day notice on the President would almost certainly be found Unconstitutional if this ever gets that far.

Which is why the majority voted for Trump and not Harris.
