Cherry picking. Sure, some are not smoking guns, but you gotta admit there is a lot of valid evidence in there. You went after the low hanging fruit. You skipped right past the first handful for a reason

Lol... Not like I picked the only two goofy headlines.

Trump is no fascist. He's a tactless old guy with no filter.

A filter stops you from saying things you believe that you shouldn't say. Saying he has no filter does not refute these claims about his ideology.

And screaming "fascist" at somebody you don't agree with doesn't make them a fascist. In fact, fascism can't even really exist in the American government in the first place.

Pretty much all of this post is wrong. All of it. I'm not screaming anything. I didn't even say he's been behaving like a fascist, I said he's an ideological fascist, but how can you possibly say fascism can't exist in the American government? Our government is taking money from me against my will and using it to drone bomb innocent people on the other side of the world. What is fascism if that is not fascism? Let's count the non violent drug offenders in prison. Jesus, wake up

So he's not behaving like a fascist, but he thinks like a fascist?

That's the problem. At this point the term is a pure pejorative that gets used 50 different ways as an insult and hardly ever has any real meaning.

That, alone, is not fascism. It happens in democracies.

I don't think we're going to agree on a definition of fascism here.

Apparently to a lot of people fascism doesn't have to be dictatorial or non representative or even of a profound ideological bent; it's just has to be "authoritarian" and different from their own beliefs.

You really have to wonder about the mental stability of people consumed by self hate. It's just not natural. It looks like we are seeing some sort of mass hysteria induced by non-state brainwashing.

Fascism - Wikipedia

Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.[14] Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.[14] Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.[15][16][17][18] Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.

So a key would appear to be an overthrow of the democratic process. I only see one party that can't accept an election result and utilizes their congressional powers for opposition research.

How about a party falsely claiming that there are millions of fraudulent votes? What does that do to the democratic process?
