Half the country sees former President Donald Trump as a fascist, amplifying concerns raised in recent days by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump’s own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris.
Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, again more than say so about Harris. But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn’t intend to carry out – underscoring challenges for both candidates as the fur flies in their increasingly heated presidential race.
Remember that ~40% have been told that fascism, communism, socialism, and the Democratic party are all the same for the last 40+ years by “news” organisations.
That’s what makes their messaging so effective. They just mislabel all sorts of shit so words lose all meaning.
And frankly, we’ve been blowing the fascism whistle for a long time. Though the GOP/Trump are indisputably fascist now, a lot of people are numb to the alarm and don’t take it seriously.
The boy who cried fascist.
The boy who cried fascist, except he never lied about it a single time, there’s just a lot of people who didn’t care if a few sheep get taken, and refuse to care now that we’re running out of sheep.
How many of the elements of fascism does a person or party need to contain before they’re fascist in your eyes?
