fascism is an ideology. trump has no ideology, just a brand.

Force his dumbass to define his terms. I got some fucknut to go from calling Trump a racist to saying Hitler wasn't a racist just by making him sort out his own fucking argument.

Point out that fascism is literally using political power to silence opposition, and trump doesnt have the powet yet, so he can't be fascist.

Everyone here can agree that Classical Liberalism is Right Wing
Since Classical Liberalism is right wing, that makes Fascism left wing, just a smidgen to the right of Communism.

That's called a "Police State" you moron.
"Fascism" is shamelessly using the instruments of state power to advance an agenda beneficial to your group with a zero-sum mentality relative to other groups and being intrinsically unafraid of 'bloodletting' in order to achieve your desired goals.
