    Hatred of Democracy? No. But an opposition to free speech? Absolutely.
    And he's said and done other things that betray an opposition to Democracy.

    I think you're missing a point. My point is Trump isn't fascist and it's diluted for people to think he is

    I'm sorry it's the people that squawk about and everyone being fascist that are anti-free speech. Not Trump.

    Also it wasn't Donald Trump that's been three years God knows how much money trying to impeach Trump because they despise the Democratic process.

    As for Democracy, Trump tried to cheat in two elections, he's trying to sabotage the post office, he's talking about giving himself a third term, and he's encouraging people to riot if he loses the election.

    Is that so?

    Post your evidence for those assertions. I'll wait.

    When I pointed out that Trump is against free speech, because he wants to make it illegal to burn the flag, Trumpcucks defended him by saying he doesn't have the power to do that. Sure, but that isn't my point. My point is that he WANTS to do this. He's a Fascist. Just because he doesn't have the power to do a Holocaust doesn't mean he's not a Fascist.
    Let's cut to the core of the matter. What do you think a fascist is?

    And no, calling out someone for being a Fascist is not being against free speech. The Right seems to think that any criticism at all goes against free speech.

    Also it wasn't Donald Trump that's been three years God knows how much money trying to impeach Trump because they despise the Democratic process.
    OMG, right? Why can't the Democrats just let Trump get away with cheating in elections?

    Yep. It was a huge deal, if you remember. The Guardian over in the UK organized it...made a big deal over it. Funny thing though...no one ever asked where they got the names and phone numbers from.

    Or...maybe you're young and don't remember.

    In a nutshell, someone who wants an extremely hierarchical society. This always involves a lack of Democracy and freedom of speech, since those two things give the masses power.
    This is why Conservatives are so susceptible to Fascism. Liberalism has always been about spreading wealth and power throughout society, while Conservatism is the opposite. It's about maintaining a hierarchy of power. And to be fair, Liberals are more susceptible to Communism.

    I always recommend reading this: http://www.openculture.com/2016/11/u...f-fascism.html

    First of all, I'm a real liberal...going way back. I don't see you as someone who understands me. In fact, I think you'd be far more comfortable with fascism as long as Goebbels said the right shit to you.

    Before we go any further on this what do you think about public/private partnerships?

    I was not aware of that. Was it reported on?
