Anyone who thinks any American president is a fascist is a fucking moron.

Trump IS fascist. So I'm not sure what to make of your flaming here.

Please stop this.

Calling Trump a fascist is like calling Obama a communist - it is meaningless noise that serves only to drown out legitimate discussion. You will change precisely zero minds with that language and only serve to make your own talking points seem less credible by dint of the fact that they're being uttered by someone who is putting Trump (an odious, but legitimately governing democratic leader) on the same level as some of the most evil men in history.

There's ample reason to hate Trump and there's plenty of perfectly valid criticisms you can level at him without veering into hyperbole. Seriously, you're in a target-rich environment - he provides new material pretty much daily. Don't validate him and his supporters by making yourself seem just as prone to wild exaggerations and mischaracterizations as he is.

You know that phrase about not arguing with an idiot because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience? Name calling and wild exaggeration is Trump's level. Don't fight the battle there, because he's already won if that's where political discourse is steered.


How is making a factual statement the same as making an absurd assertion?
