                @JohnHowardsEyebrows:

                I hope this has been educational for you.

                It has, but not in the way you hoped. Your definition of 'fascism' doesn't match any official definition. You might want to go look it up before making a fool of yourself.

                which your beloved sex offender wants to scrap.

                More 'education' lol… You seem to have forgotten what team you are on there. Hint: Republicans are pro-Constitution, Democrats want to replace it. You need to know which team you are before making such clumsy statements.

                  @1st-Amendment: " A 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."

                  All entirely consistent with what I said.

                    @JohnHowardsEyebrows:

                    All entirely consistent with what I said.

                    Well less test your claims:

                    a dictatorial leader
                    US is and always has maintained a separation of powers. Claim = false

                    centralized autocracy
                    As above. Claim = fail

                    militarism
                    Trump was the first president since before WW2 not to start a new war. Claim = fail

                    forcible suppression of opposition
                    Quite the opposite. Free speech enables and encourages opposition. Trump is the biggest proponent of free speech. Claim = fail

                    belief in a natural social hierarchy
                    The President who is most known for standing up for the little guy? The 'deplorables' Claim = fail

                    subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race
                    Again, the opposite. Individual sovereignty is the pillar of the conservative movement. Claim = fail

                    strong regimentation of society and the economy.
                    Again the opposite, GOP is the party of free market economics.

                    So everything is the opposite of what you said. Every single definition is the entirely inconsistent with that of fascism.

                    I know it's cool to throw the word 'fascist' around every time you hear an opinion you don't like, but you've really got to engage the brain at some point, rather than simple repeat the lies you've been told.

                        Insurrection of Jan 6.

                        This is a media headline, not a fact. You keep demonstrating how easily you swallow and repeat the media lies. It is not reflecting well on your ability to think for yourself. This is why the term NPC and Bot gets used with the Left. The inability to construct an original argument, they just repeat media headlines over and over…

                        Project 2025.

                        Another media headline…

                        "I'll be a dictator on day one"

                        And another…

                        I suggest you go and read a book about how Hitler and Mussolini seized power from democracies.

                        I have read a few, I also studied Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, and the various Communist revolutions, which specific parts did you have in mind? Feel free to quote the exact passages you feel are parallel to today so I can debunk your silly claims just like I have with the claims of 'scrapping the Constitution' and 'Trump is a Fascist' crazy talk.

                        Let me give you a hint. All of the tyrants throughout history all were made possible first by suppression of speech. It's the one common theme that runs throughout all human history, and it the one thing the Trump defends. Only once you have controlled the speech can you control a population. This is why your claims are so laughable. Had you read any of the books you mentioned you would know this and wouldn't make such ludicrous claims

                          As for all your 'fake news' responses. It's amazing how the guy you support (who is a habitual liar - you can't be so dimwitted as to deny that documented fact) is at odds with literally everybody but his own supporters/family, and his hand picked judges. People like you would likely be brownshirts in the 1930s.

                            Well they aren't actually. Communism is far left, and Fascism is far right. They are opposites. There are some similarities with approaches to authoritarianism, but they are not the same at all.

                            But thanks for yet another demonstration of how you get everything wrong…

                            deny that documented fact

                            Your poorly thought-out opinion is not a fact.

                            and his hand picked judges

                            Each party nominates candidates to be judges, the is how the system works. It's like you've just read click-bait headlines and gotten angry. That is precisely what the click-bait wants you to do. Stop being so gullible.

                            People like you would likely be brownshirts in the 1930s

                            Awesome logic. The people promoting greater freedom are the people who want less freedom? This is your game winning argument? How many bongs can you see right now?

When this hit the headlines I looked into it and found no evidence of any criminal activity, just lots of media exaggeration playing the Orange Man Bad routine which gullible people swallowed. If you have evidence to support this then please provide it, Otherwise these claims remain in the bunk column, and those who believe it remain in the gullible column.

You saw somewhere that the lefties were diminishing the name of your leader and immediately sought refuge in Facebook groups and random conspiracy bloggers to avoid the feeling you so dread that is cognitive dissonance.

                            Kinda weird that in an interview with Fox, Trump said he would be reluctant to release the Epstein files.

                            Quite weird he stated that Epstein "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” He also wished Maxwell well during her trial multiple times. Not to mention he has talked about Prince Andrew being "a lot of fun", only to deny knowing him later on.

                            Weird that Trump appears in Epstein's flight logs 7 times, while others that appeared just once were accused by MAGA as being pedos.

                            Very weird that his name pops up so many times in the Epstein files, with what appears to be many more times as Doe ##.

                            Trump has made beyond weird comments about his daughter many, many times over the years; not to mention the way he holds and touches her, and that's just in public when he knows he's being filmed.

                            At some point weird ends up being something more than just weird. There are dozens more facts I could list about just how weird Trump is with Epstein and kids, but I know your mind has already retreated to the comfort of ignorance at this point. Your reaction will always be to call everything fake news that is contrary to your desired beliefs, or deflect and say something like "but what about Clinton", or even just flat out call people "woke".

                            I sincerely hope you find a less old, and very much less weird person to provide you with the motivation to get up in the morning.

                              Is it? Post your non-media link to this data and let's see. Because sharing flights doesn't seem weird to me, I do it all the time. Have you ever been on flight with other people?

                              At some point weird ends up being something more than just weird.

                              Well that's what the DNC talking points told you to think… so I guess.
                              You have to wonder about the party of diversity and inclusion suddenly decided that being 'weird' is now a bad thing. Lady Gaga and her Little Monsters won't be pleased about that.

                              Your reaction will always be to call everything fake news that is contrary to your desired beliefs, or deflect and say something like "but what about Clinton"

                              Citation required.
                              Fake news is anything uncited that was likely read in the some biased media article, You know exactly like what you've done here.
                              If you cite it, I will read it. If not your opinion goes in to the same bucket as the other 8 billion opinions that are equally worthless.

                              I sincerely hope…

                              This post delivered more than I could ever hope for. All I asked for was as citation and instead of doing that you did what can only be described as an overdoes of cope.

                              If you ever find a non-media source for your claims, just post them next time. Save yourself a lot of time.

                              I'm going to help you out a bit here. OP said that 'Trump is a convicted rapist'. I know that isn't true since the only court case involved was a civil trial ( which only deal with damages, not convictions - words are important here), and even then they found the claim if rape was not substantiated
                              Here's the Case Law document: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis-crt-sd-new-yor/1146…
                              Here's the relevant quote "The only point on which Ms. Carroll did not prevail was whether she had proved that Mr. Trump had “raped” her "

                              So the claim of 'Trump is a convicted rapist" is actually fake news. Stop swallowing that garbage, it's rotting your brain.

                                @1st-Amendment: First you claim I lied when I stated you did not look into it; then you follow up by saying everything in "the media" is false, including a video interview from the very source you and your Q-ultists get their talking points from? Applying your logic, you are saying you disbelieve everything - unless, maybe, you are in the room as an eye witness. Add that to the fact you ignored the other points I included in my argument - so tell me again I am lying when I stated you did not look into it? You have nowhere to look if all secondary sources, and in this case all primary sources, of information are "fake news".

                                You have isolated yourself so far from reality, I am certain you no longer recognise the person you were prior to idolising a WEIRD reality TV billionaire. Might be time to back away from whereever you spend all your time during the day and realise that the world is much bigger than the one inside your head. Go outside, maybe attempt to reinitiate some old friendships you had before pushing everyone away with your absurd opinions.

                                  Because that is a lie. I did look into it. So by definition you are lying since it is not true.

                                  then you follow up by saying everything in "the media" is false

                                  I never said that. Feel free to quote where I did. You can't though because I never did. Another lie.

                                  That is not how logic works. This says a lot about your ability to think logically though…

                                  so tell me again I am lying when I stated you did not look into it?

                                  and in this case all primary sources, of information are "fake news".

                                  • @1st-Amendment: Stop spreading disinformation. Trump was found guilty of forced digital penetration - otherwise known as rape outside of a court setting.

                                    Donald Trump is a rapist.

                                    You do realise how deplorable your view is here, right? The weird old man you spend so much of your life defending is a felon and a rapist who, by his own admission, does not believe in repentance despite claiming to be Christian. In your defence, you didn't know any better because you never spent any time researching his actions or character. If only someone had pointed that out earlier…

                                        In July, Judge Kaplan clarified that the jury had found that Trump had raped Carroll according to the common definition of the word. In August 2023, Kaplan dismissed a countersuit and wrote that Carroll's accusation of "rape" is "substantially true".
