  • I asked what you thought a legitimate criticism (that wasn’t presented enough by media) was of Trump and you essentially just hand waved. If this is such a problem in your eyes surely you wouldn’t need to use Google or soul-seek to find an example.

    Do you think him being convicted of sexual abuse was just “noise” that drowned out the actual problems? Is that something not worth informing voters about? I’m confused where you’re trying to draw the line here. Is the character of a candidate not to be scrutinized? Shouldn’t we try to be sure that a candidate will do the right thing even when it isn’t reported on?



  • You’re right, that is a thing they do.

    I see my original comment got at least one down vote because we’re still in the “denial” phase. It’s the truth though: most people, however wrong they may be, view the fascist label as just another flippantly-tossed insult not to be taken seriously.


  • I’m with you that fascism is alive and well in the states, no doubt.

    But you have to see that years of “fascist” accusations from anyone even slightly left has watered down any impact that language might have had. Most people who are and have been on the receiving end of that accusation just roll their eyes when they hear the word - regardless if it’s true or not. It comes off to them as a “blue hair” reee-ing.

    Just letting you know most people don’t take it with the same gravity any more. To most people “real” fascism was a 1940’s thing, and fascism now is just an insult throw around by keyboard warriors and “SJWs” - whom they find annoying and pathetic.

    The term, however appropriate, doesn’t affect people’s political decisions as much as you would think.
