The initial results were bad. But the final results are improved. If Trump comes to power as a Fascist president I do not doubt we will see a global war and him lose it. And our patriotism destroyed.

A yes, the global war where the most heavily armed nuclear state loses and doesn't initiate worldwide atomic holocaust.

Hey, the US still technically lost the Great War in regards to the Fallout games.

So did China, of course. No one really won.

The Nazi comparisons are in bad taste and people should honestly know better.

How about the ADL? Is the ADL allowed to make Nazi comparisons without it being in "bad taste"? Because they've been making them at least as far back as the muslim databases.

Like, there's Godwin, and then there's actual fear of literal concentration camps. What you're seeing right now is mostly the latter.

The poll demonstrates that they are so departed from reality that the only solution to the problem is a war. Like the Germans spirit were destroyed by the firebombing of Dresden and the public trials of their beloved public figures and the revelation of the holocaust and the Japanese by the nuking of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the permanent bases set up within their territories.

They remind me of another organization full of people who are similarly deluded. Unfortunately they function in more arid regions.

At this point debating whether Trump is an actual fascist or merely a fascistic nativist demagogue is pedantic hair-splitting. He doesn't fully meet the dictionary definition of an actual fascist, but he's the closest match by a major party candidate that we've seen in decades.

He crossed the line for me personally when he publicly condoned violence toward protesters at his rallies. That's textbook fascistic behavior and something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime by a major party presidential candidate.

Well, as a result of his statement, Trump has been endorsed by just about every white nationalist on the scene today. Polls are showing that two thirds to three quarters of his supporters think Islam should be illegal.

Naturally, none of his Republican opponents have ruled out voting for him if he's the nominee.
