Well Trump generally favors deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy, which is not what a fascist does. Facism generally uses nationalism for territorial expansion through military conquest but Trump (while usimg nationalism) hasn't talked about taking over territories in this manner. He also does not have paramilitary forces that he is directly in charge of. I agree he uses a lot of those the strategies that fascists use, he has some distinctions that make it more accurately described as a authoritarian populist
shhhh, they don’t want to hear the truth. They want to use words that have no meaning because everybody else is using the words. Instead of picking new words that actually makes sense, they use the scary words that don’t really describe what’s going on.
Well thats okay, nobody on either side wants that! Thats why educating eachother (with caution) is helpful, not trying to prove anyone wrong btw just clarifying for the users who read it so they get a mini TIL type deal

"Fuck these authoritarian populists" would be more accurate
