    What “fascism” are people asking for? Actual examples that meet the definition of fascism please.

    In your link, what criteria does “MAGA” meet? (I’ll humour you and overlook the fact that “MAGA” is literally just a catchphrase for returning america to being “the (self proclaimed) greatest country on earth”).

    America has a 2 party system. Democrats and republicans. If you don’t like the democrats and their policies and handling of the country, you vote republican. That doesn’t mean you’re a Nazi, and anyone suggesting it does is just telling people to ignore them and their crazy opinions.

    Your logic is “I declare trump a fascist, therefore anyone that votes for him is a nazi”. That’s terrible, terrible, idiotic logic.

    Also not really sure who declared Umberto Eco the expert on Fascism.

      Learn to debate. The logic is sound. You just can’t hear it.

      Eco literally grew up in Mussolini’s(the original) fascist Italy. He wrote the book on fascism. Literally.

        He wrote a book on fascism.

        The logic is not sound. The entire “logic” is based on wanting something to be fascism, so calling it fascism, and then using that same terrible “logic” to classify tens of millions of people as a nazi based on nothing other than wanting to call them nazis.

        I guess I’ll keep waiting for those actual examples that meet the definition of fascism, right? Surely you’re going to list them, right?

          Your ignorance is boring me. C’mon man. Give me something to convince me. At least give me doubts. The description of fascism is in the links. MAGA meets the criteria. Nazis were fascist. MAGA = Nazi. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s not true. They are never going to declare themselves Fascist or Nazis. Would you?

            So you still can’t actually provide any examples of this fascism by “MAGA”?

            “MAGA” isn’t a person btw. It’s not a group of people. It’s a catchphrase.

            Again I’ll ask since you’re the one making the claim - provide evidence that all the people that vote republican are Nazis.
