    he can push empty rhetoric about voting and still back apartheid. he is the architect of the crime bill that disenfranchised vast numbers of people. you’re never going to convince me he or any other president since Wilson wasn’t fascist.

      You clearly still don’t know what that word means. Warmongering and incarceration are two facets of fascism, but that is not enough to make someone a fascist. I believe you that you think every president since Wilson is a fascist, and the reason is that because your definition is so broad, it catches everyone.

      But words have meaning, and if you want to effectively communicate with people, you have to use the ones they generally agree with. I recommend you find a different word to describe him, because “fascist” implies a whole lot of baggage that he simply doesn’t have.

            i can’t prove you don’t know something, as a negative can’t be proven, but this conversation indicates you think america (and its political class) isn’t fascist. if that’s the case, it’s likely you don’t know what fascism is.

        only if you believe fascist propaganda.
