Finally! The US is a officially a Fascist regime.

Finally! The US is a officially a Fascist regime.<br><br>After Trump claimed he was going to fire his Lesbian Rabbi FBI director, it's no longer debatable. The US is now a de facto fascist state. In case you missed it, Trump had the FBI director visiting the secret service headquarters and said "Oh, while your here, you're fired...by the way, nice socks. I've always wanted to touch your hair. It looks so soft."<br><br>The amount of fascism is simply too much to describe, but we'll deconstruct it:<br><br>Fascism requires nationalism: Trump is a nationalist. He's incredibly proud of our nation. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires authoritarianism. He's called for violence at rallies, called protesters "fascists" (which is projection, but we'll get to that in a minute), said he wanted to punch protesters, hired a woman beater as his chief of staff, and called for protesters to be thrown out and beaten. The head of the RNC has called for violence at the convention. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires militarism: Trump has called for torture and said he'd take revenge on terrorists. He's said there's only one way to deal with ISIS, and that's by killing them. He also wants to increase military spending by 2% of gdp. Not only that, he wants to make the military more brutal.<br><br>Fascism also requires the demonization of enemies. Trump has called Mexicans "rapists", Blacks "lazy", Muslims "terrorists", and women "pigs". He's attacked Heidi Cruz's looks and accused her of being a pornstar. He's attacked a woman's weight. He's called a woman a "bimbo" on national TV. He called Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, an "idiot". Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism relies on a cult of personality. Trump is a liar and the right wing doesn't care. They love him no matter what. When Trump told them to raise their hands, like cultists, they did. He called them "pussies" and they cheered. He attacked a Gold Star family and still won the election. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires the fusion of corporate and state interests. Trump is spending a billion dollars a year on vacations. He has no qualms about spending money earmarked for the Secret Service to stay at his hotels. He appointed the head of Exxon to be his SOS. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires propaganda. Trump tweets conspiracy theories to his millions of followers. He's attacked the press as "fake news". His sycophants believe him. They believe the deep state exists. They believed Russia didn't interfere with the election. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires disdain for intellectuals. Trump is a liar and has attacked the intelligence agencies. He's attacked scientists. He's attacked experts. He's said he knows more than them. His followers believe him. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires disrespect for human rights. Trump has attacked women's rights, Black rights, Muslim rights, immigrant rights, and gay rights. He's hired Christians that believe in "Christian supremacy". He's attacked the freedom of the press. He's attacked protesters. He's hired a woman beater as his chief of staff. Checkmark.<br><br>Fascism requires electoral fraud. Trump has attacked the integrity of the election system, claiming it's rigged. He appointed a voter suppressionist as head of the USPS. He's tried to disenfranchise voters by making up conspiracy theories. The Electoral College gave him the presidency even though he lost by 2.5 million votes. Checkmark.<br><br>And finally, Fascism disdains all opposition. Trump has attacked the media as "fake news". He's attacked protesters. He's attacked judges that rule against him. He's attacked Congress. He's attacked the FBI. Checkmark.<br><br>Welcome to Fascist America.
