No, you do not
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control I.E. Like forcing someone to take a shot or lose their job.

Exactly. Personally I like him taking the Left Wing media on.
I hear you. That and the 8th grade "nicknames" he gave to everybody who ran against him. I also do not believe that if he lost in the primary he would have endorsed anyone, he would have gladly took his ball and went home rather than ask his supporters to support the winner.
You don't say you can barely stomach Trump, had to hold your nose to vote for him, and then turn around and spend the next five years on a message board pouring your heart and soul into running cover for him. I don't invest energy defending anyone I can't stand, let alone spend five years relentlessly running cover for them.
The sex pest is too stupid to understand that mocking the president's attackers is not the same as "pouring your heart and soul into running cover for him".
But he had some trouble understanding that no means no, too.

Which policy failure did you like the most?
Trump failed to “build a wall” on our southern border, and that which he did complete was paid for by American taxpayers. That was an ineffective plan, so we are lucky he failed, but it also set back an important immigration debate. His predecessors will find it more difficult to reach an immigration compromise because of Trump, and for that we are all worse off.
He launched a trade war that empowered China, raised taxes on Americans and significantly damaged our manufacturing economy long before anyone heard of COVID. By the time he left office, we have fewer factory jobs than when Trump took office, and a larger trade deficit with China. I think these are bad standards to judge a president by, but these are his own standards. According to them, he failed badly.
After four years we had fewer jobs, more inequality and more modest stock market expansion than when he entered office. Trump added to the federal rate at nearly twice the speed of any democratic president in 50 years. Even without COVID, Trump would’ve racked up the largest federal debt during an economic recovery in U.S. history. But, there was COVID, which falls squarely into the ugly part of his presidency.
COVID will kill well over a million Americans before we are fully immunized to this round of it. No American president could have prevented a large mortality event. But, if the U.S. response had been as effective as the next worst country, we’d have fewer than half the number of deaths as we have experienced. That is Trump’s doing. He purposefully downplayed the risk of COVID to protect his re-election campaign. He fostered the politicization of simple public health measures and failed to provide test kits, and now it appears, vaccines. He intentionally failed the basic duties of his office.
Trump’s willful lies and negligence helped fuel the spread of the disease and kill somewhere between 250,000 and 400,000 Americans. This came on the tail of an impeachment that should have seen him removed from office for abuse of power.
The final piece of ugliness was the most brazen assault upon our constitutional order by a sitting president in our history. For more than two months, the president carefully crafted not only a lie, but a vast untruth surrounding election fraud. He spread this false narrative—the most perfect example of propaganda in American history — to tens of millions of his supporters. He personally created the ecosystem for a constitutional crisis. He then unleashed a physical assault upon our Congress to obstruct the Constitution.
Today, conservatives find themselves in disarray, and chained to insurrectionists. Ultimately, his few policy achievements are a mirage, undone by his many flaws. In the end, Trump’s most lasting legacy will be the importance of character, in this the lack thereof, in public service.
trump didn't have policies in 2016. He just tapped into some peoples' fears and insecurities. He was a genius at that.

First and foremost, they are not "people" per se. They are devolved--have genetically devolved-- into sub-human troglodyte mutants.
Calling trumpanzees "people" confuses the subject.
I also wouldn't brag about being a "libertarian," which, from what I can see, is simply a deceitful word for "anarchist."
trump was never NOT corrupt, from his schooldays onward.
This is hardball. Hes no different than any other, he just doesnt hide behind a false persona.

2nd dumbest response to Damo's question! But, here again we must consider the source!
Who is Brandon? Biden has not gone to NASCAR, that I know of. It is a silly sport.
I will say this though. Donald Trump was treated more unfairly by the left and the MSM then any other President in my lifetime and its not even close, yet he stood up to it day after day. Actually,...I think they may have been trying to drive him to a stroke or heart attack. Absolutely they were. Day after day with no let up like standing front and center in front of a firing squad. IMO few people could hold up to something like that not to mention all the other stress that comes a long with being POTUS. Gotta give him credit,...that guy is a frikkin bull. Most other people would have just DIED from it all a long time ago.

Old shaming Biden tells us more about you than Biden Mr. DAMO!
Have you been an asshole all of your life?

He built a big, beautiful wall to keep Mexicans out and made Mexico pay for it.
He banned Muslims from entering the country until he could figure out what was going on.
He replaced Obamacare with something better. Who knew it was so difficult?
He cut taxes, especially for the richest 0.1%, which was just what America needed.
He withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It was replaced by the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, led by Japan.
He was the greatest!
That sums it up. OTOH it's only fair to point out that the reason a lot of RWers do not like Hillary is the relentless pursuit and denigration of the Clintons since the early 90s. Some was deserved; most was not. I feel like you're trying to paint Trump voters as patriots or something. They are far from it. Like you, they could have voted third party, or just left the box for POTUS empty. They deliberately chose a well-known unintelligent, egotistical crook because he came with an (R) after his name.
Well, we know where Biden got lots of money over the last 10-12 years, same place Hunter did.
And ask yourself which state he's from, that should give you a few clues.
Actually another reason I like DJT, couldnt buy him. Washington and Jefferson may be the only other presidents you could say that about.
