Is America Moving Toward Right-Wing Fascism?
All government is fascist. I guess you want a "Left-Wing" version.

Here we go no it isn't. Right wing ideology is based on hierarchy inequality and tradition fascism is the extreme end of that. Left wing is based on egalitarianism.

This isn’t the same. None of them have behaved even remotely like Trump.

And that's why he was elected----to break up the entrenched Government Party in Washington. This is only the beginning.
Fasten your seat belt!

Merriam-Webster:

1 : 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

2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Yep, ALL involuntary government fits the mold.

Didn't say they did, the point is that the people that opposed their ideas worried the same way Trump's opponents. The freakout by the Left is all because they had power and blew it and they see their leftist fantasy utopia dissolving.

It really doesn't most governments are democracies and are not fascist. So you are already starting your argument with several fallacies. On your point on "involuntary" government this point is refuted because the government provides many things you benefit from. Things like roads education etc all benefit you yet you think this is a tyranny somehow??

Typical ignoring facts that contradict your ideology.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism,[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce

So do we have radical authoritarian nationalism - no
Dictatorial power - no
forcible suppression of opposition - no
control of industry and commerce - no

So you leftists are zero for 4 in connecting Trump to Fascist.

On the other hand, the Leftists want authoritarian control, dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce.

I deal in reality, not made up Leftist lies.
