Ed The Fascism Checklist, Trump 2025

Alternatively: let's talk about what they will do when the assassination attempts start succeeding. We got numbers one, two, and Speaker of the House on the short list. Will the successors be hiding out after the first good shot or two?
 
Far less than people here are fearing. He's made a lot of extreme promises to attract MagaLoons but won't want to experience the backlash for screwing things up. His advisors will tend to keep him in check.
And no, I already have a nice bridge and don't want to buy any more.
 
I wonder when neighbors will turn in neighbors for speaking poorly of The Party.

This isn't a list of obective criteria by which to judge Trumps fascism, its a list of things people in this thread don't like and think he will do. If you want an objective list, look for one that existed before Trump. This thread is just the Texas Sharpshooter of politics.

A lot of things in the thread are probably impossible for Trump to do.
LIke the idea that Trump will use the regular military to prevent elections.

OK, here are some quotes from the Wiki page:
Fascism is a
far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by
a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism,
forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism

I've highlighted the parts I think apply to the new Trump administration.
Then there's this:
[A] cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation ... The leader proposes that only he can solve it and all of his political opponents are enemies or traitors.

Pretty much Trump to a T.

The German Weimar constitution likewise stipulated regular elections, but it was dismantled easily enough once the police had been won over, and the military did nothing.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. They're already trying to get Good Americans working at schools to rat on gay and trans kids to their parents. They'll find some way to justify it, and various ways to punish people who aren't Good Americans. Remember the PATRIOT ACT and no-fly lists?
