    Trump isn’t a fascist. His supporters are. He just says whatever they want to hear 🤷‍♂️

    Trump understood that, or at least his handlers and now he’s milking the fuck outta 'em.

        Well I disagree. You seem to suggest he is a mastermind and has a plan.

        He doesn’t. He’s an idiot. He just say to whichever side is the easiest side to convince whatever they want to hear and they’ll go with it.

        If that make him a fascist, for you, so be it. I don’t care I’m not here to defend Trump, of all the people lol.

        I just disagree that he stand for anything. He’s an idiot manipulated by bigger fish like Putin and whoever he own money to.

        The Trump Administration is correctly aligned with Fascism. Several U.S. Presidents were also Fascist, the previous being the Reagan Administration.

          I’m aware, you should send that to Puppy as they seem to be the one who’s confused. Why’d you reply to me with that?

            Oh no, I’m not confused. I’m serious. You’re the only one confused here.

            Trump isn’t a fascist. He’s a fucking idiot.

            You seem to think he is a mastermind with a superplan.

            Laughable. He’s a fucking moron that doesn’t stand for anything beside money. If the easier side to manipulate were liberals, he would be a full blown out socialist.

            The guy is leading the flock of sheep that drive in the most money. End of the story. Stop pretending he even knows and understand what hes saying.

            Holy shit you are blind if you think Trump is a genius

              Where the hell are you getting this idea from? Why are you implying that in order for him to be a fascist he has to be a genius with a super plan? Did you miss my initial comment you replied to saying he was too dumb? Most fascists are in fact, quite dumb. That’s typically how they end up being fascists. He’s a fucking moron, who happens to be a fascist.

          Wait, FDR is a left communist? He was a social democrat. There’s a joke about how the New Deal saved capitalism. Who the fuck made this?

            He wasn’t even really a social democrat, to be honest. He bowed to the pressure of the socialist party at the time to prevent an actual fucking revolution (even if it would have been unsuccessful). Fdr understood that actual socialism would come knocking at the door if he didn’t capitulate. Clearly the best president we’ve had (in economic terms) in the mostly modern era, but he wasn’t as progress as people believe.

            Edit

            Also, tf is a “left” communist in this context? That’s not generally a term used, and when it is, it’s normally to point out the distinction between anarchists and Marxists, as in Lenin’s “left-wing communism.”

            Is this chart claiming FDR was an anarcho-communist? Because… No. LMAO

              That’s like saying oranges are basically apples. They aren’t even claiming to strive for communism. Unlike democratic socialists who want to achieve a state of communism, social democracy is the end goal. The end goal is to have the government clean up where capitalism fails, but still keep capitalism and private property around. You could make the argument that all socialists are communists, but social democrats fundamentally aren’t. It shows that you have no idea what communism is. Communism is not “government does stuff.” It’s an unrealized political ideal that is not about the state dominating everything. In fact, plenty of communists are anti-state.
