I never suggested Obama was socialist or communist--that is crazy right-wing labeling just as calling Trump a fascist is crazy left-wing labeling (although the conversation was about Trump supporters).
Calling something a false equivalence demonstrates the moral superiority both sides believe they represent. Many Trump supporters make the same self-righteous rhetoric you are claiming for your side.
Trump's attack on the press is mostly rhetoric to appeal to his supporters. Free press means the freedom to publish whatever they choose and we see multiple anti-Trump columns daily. He can "threaten" freedom of the press but can do nothing to actually restrict it. Press conferences do not constitute press freedom and under Trump are fairly useless.
The left did not believe elections were fair in 2004 or 2016 and blamed their loss on some guy who had an interest in the voting machines in Ohio in 2004 and the Russians in 2016.
Claiming some kind of moral and ethical superiority of one party is just partisan blindness.
I know you're not saying Obama supporters are Socialist or Communist. What I'm saying is that supporting Trump actually is supporting Fascism, but supporting Obama is not supporting Socialism or Communism. That's what makes it a False Equivalence. And I included a link to show why Trump, or at the very least his policies, is Fascist.
I'm all for saying both sides are wrong when both sides actually are wrong. I'll never defend either side that fought in WWII. But when it comes to the modern American Left and Right, there is no comparison. The Left has plenty of problems, but the Right is literally Fascist.
Does anyone think this is not just another Trump distraction? We are in a pandemic. we have people in the streets. The economy is in the shitter and Trump is talking about the flag. The Supremes already decided this case . Trump is doing the shiny object trick. It will work on 40 percent. The bell rings and they drool.
Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.
