How is Donald Trump a fascist?

Let us count the ways.

This is true. Just because Tucker Carlson made a couple of white supremacist comments 20 years ago doesn’t mean he’s a white supremacist now.

All the white supremacist shit he’s said over and over and over and over again since then, however, is much more salient’

@CRiTWx @charliekirk11 Stick to the Philippines, dude. You know nothing about domestic terrorism in the USA.

[David Neiwert @DavidNeiwert]

@CRiTWx @charliekirk11 Why do you support efforts to gut antiterrorism strategies when the terrorism is committed by neo-Nazis?

[David Neiwert @DavidNeiwert]

@CRiTWx @charliekirk11 The FBI actually relied on SPLC informants for years. Made multiple arrests through them.

@MidAir91717547 @charliekirk11 Only if you believe that the DOJ indictment holds any water. Give it a couple of months and we can rejoin this discussion.

Are you aware that the FBI also hires informants from the ranks of neo-Nazis and hate groups and has done so for much longer than the SPLC?

@deuceohsixx This is the same garbage that Kemper Freeman Jr. has trotted out to militate against mass transit in Bellevue for the past 30 years.

It’s all part of defending the city’s heritage as a lily-white enclave, just as his grandfather designed it to be.

The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country

@ninaburleigh @Quillette So it's not a surprise when Quillette publishes a trans-bashing piece. It's just terribly revealing seeing how many supposed liberals jump aboard.

That piece is crap, too. Ironically, you know who it erases? Transgender men -- who inspire the asexual terms it objects to.

[David Neiwert @DavidNeiwert]

@ninaburleigh @Quillette There are multiple reasons for this. But it's a basic fact that when you engage in bashing transgender people for even existing, you're joining the radical right in an eliminationist campaign.
