      “There isn’t a genocide happening…”

      Do you mean besides the one in Gaza, where U.S. money and munitions have been facilitating the bombing and starvation of children for over a year?

      My question is rhetorical. If you have a response, I’m not interested in hearing it.

          Yes, no genocide on homeground (unless you could count the genocide of native americans as still on going), but there’s slavery (and it has a big enough market influence that it lowers wages significantly) and concentration camps.

              But we do, in fact, have enough information to call Trump a fascist (and thus anyone who is a suporter of his). The defintion of fascism, as stated by wikipedia is:

              • far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement.
              • characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition
              • belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race
              • strong regimentation of society and the economy.
              • Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism

              Trump has, in the not so distant past:

              • Claimed expanded executive authority
              • refused to transfer power after losing an election
              • has praised authoriterian leaders
              • Frequently made appeals to racial and cultural superiority (e.g., calling certain countries “shitholes,” claiming immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of ‘America’)
              • Attempted to delegitimize dissent or protest as unpatriotic
              • Just a couple of days ago called the national guard (not sure if that’s the correct translation) on anti-deportation protesters
              • Has, and is, sending deported people into de-facto concentration camps
              • Has suggested using the military for domestic policing
              • Has endorsed populist economic nationalism (tariffs, breaking international trade norms, attacking corporations that oppose him)

              And much more, but let’s just jump to a conclusion anyways, right? Nazwałbym Pana debilem, ale tak nie wypada, to tego nie zrobę.
