Drumpf is there for entertainment. That's it. And maybe to put the spotlight on the small percentage of Americans who are still so hideously racist and bigoted. I honestly don't see him winning in November. Hell, at this point, I'm not even sure being president is his actual goal.

Why not? What is going to stop him? The sheer inherent absurdity of his campaign certainly hasn't.

And you're a lot more optimistic than me if you think it's a small percentage of Americans that's racist and bigoted. Not as loudly, maybe, but.

yeah this.

he's gone way too far now for me to believe it's still a big joke.

Keep protesting. Maybe that will stop him. It's working great so far!

Doubt it. But you have to do something when a fascist is taking over your country for God's sake.

Democratic process = fascist taking over

Why do you think those things are mutually exclusive?

Also what do you think a fascist is

Re: Rant Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'm holding judgment until the RNC.

Right now I see an electorate making their voices heard in the face of a political establishment that's doing its damnedest to silence them. That's the antithesis of fascism.

Re: Rant Thread

[(Anonymous)]

again, what do you think fascism is

do you think fascism is just, like, authoritarianism and entrenched elites? because that's not what fascism is

Re: Rant Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Why don't you tell me what you think fascism is?

Because I'm reading the Wiki entry, and I see nothing to indicate that America is at risk of becoming a fascist state. At least not from the right.

Fascism is a political ideology and a descriptor of political movements. It's not a form of government in the way that democracy is, although fascist states often become dictatorships.

And to me, fascism as an ideology is basically a populist conservative ideology that's marked by its violence, its concern with a mythologized golden national being and a mythologized national past, its general irrationalism / conspiratorialism / opposition to reason and tolerance, and the way that it generally places much less emphasis on consistency and theoretical coherence and much more on a drastic immediacy. And that's the reason that I think it's justifiable to call Trump's movement a fascist movement.

To be clear, I don't think he's a Nazi and I'm not comparing him to Hitler. But when you look at the characteristics of his campaign, I think that those things - the violence and the irrationalism especially - I think they're unquestionably present. I mean, look, his campaign manager got charged with battery for hitting a reporter today, and there's video evidence, and his response is just to repeat over and over that it didn't happen. That's the kind of thing that I'm talking about as something that belongs firmly in the tradition of fascist politics.

There's nothing in that ideology that's intrinsically anti-democratic! Anti-liberal, yes, avowedly, not particularly pro-liberal democracy, but there's nothing that precludes a fascist movement from participating in democratic elections. I mean, like, it's hackneyed to point out that Hitler came to power in a democratic election, but that doesn't make it untrue.

OH MY GOD DONALD TRUMP HASN'T GONE AWAY YET

WHAT'S GOING TO STOP HIM CERTAINLY NOT MILLIONS OF REGISTERED VOTERS WHO AUTOMATICALLY DON'T HAVE A SAY IN WHO GETS ELECTED BASED ON THE FACT THAT HE HASN'T GONE AWAY YET

When his candidacy was announced, I thought for sure he was just some troll put on display to make the other candidates look more reasonable by comparison. Now, I'm not so sure. He's like some scheme by Mr. Burns and the rest of the Republican Party gone horribly wrong.
