    It’s Biden’s team laying the groundwork for Trump to fulfill what he says he wants. But liberals will ignore that if it happens. Like they did when Trump was locking up kids while ignoring who built those cages for kids

      You never worked with a reasonable definition of fascism, which I think I’ve successfully demonstrated to everyone. Now you’re writing complete gibberish.

      My job here is done.

          Well, let’s leave that up to the readers to decide, who are already agreeing with me, as indicated by the votes.

          I understand you have a feeling of wanting to be virtuous and showing off that sense of morality. However, fascism has an actual definition, which isn’t congruous with the one you are using.

          Perhaps you can see what you’re doing if I put it in an example that’s in a slightly different context: You calling Jimmy Carter a fascist is like vegans calling everyone who isn’t also a vegan “murderer”. Murder has a rather rigid definition; intentionally and directly ending the life of another human being. Eating a burger doesn’t get covered by that definition, no matter how much you stretch it’s limits. It might be immoral to eat meat and indirectly participate in the meat industry, but it is not murder, and Jimmy Carter was — by no reasonable definition — fascist.

          Vegans calling everyone who eats meat a murderer means they’d have no way of differentiating between people who intentionally kill other people, and people who… eat burgers. Can you foresee any problems if one actually lost the ability to differentiate between those things?
