Fascism.Originally posted by DwightShrute
The majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's policies; Trump continues to ignore the concerns of the people and forces his policies on them; nevertheless, it is fascism.
Bonus question.
Where does the word fascism come from?Comment -

I don't agree that the majority of people disapprove of Trump's policies. The liberal media might tell you this, but they tell you a lot of bullshit. Remember the old Mark Twain quote ...Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect). That applies quite often in life. Also, Hareeballs liked your post calling Trump a fascist, so that should immediately cause you (or anyone else) to pause and reflect. He's been wrong on just about everything for years on SBR.Originally posted by stevenash
I have been called a fascist. Do you think I am a fascist?
Trump isn't fascist and neither is his administration. That's just silly. He is simply doing things different and within the laws and the constitution. Securing the border isn't fascism. Neither is making better trade deals for his country or lowering taxes. Neither is making several peace deals. Neither is blowing up narco terrorists. We can go on and on with several examples which further proves your definition of fascism isn't applicable.
The word fascism gets used so often that it loses much of its meaning. Just simply disagreeing with a liberal makes you a fascist nowadays. We all see it all the time. Same goes for Hitler, racist, Russian agent and even a king. The people that keep using these words have no idea what they are saying and have little to no credibility.
Don't forget that many of these people looked you straight in the face and said there was an insurrection on J6, when there wasn't, and that Trump incited violence when he said to "peacefully march to the Capitol and let your voices be heard. Peacefully means violence to the radicals. These are the same people who think men can get pregnant, think its ok for men to compete against women in competitive sports, use pronouns like he/him/they them and made videos of themselves celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. They call Kirk a racist and a fascist as well. These people are morons.
They said they saw evidence of Russian collusion with their own eyes, but that was just another blatant lie. Yet, for some strange reason, people believe these lies. Why? I suspect they are either too dumb or are just unwilling to admit they have been duped into believing the shit they they believe for so long, they are unable and/or unwilling to admit it. Probably a combination. A king wouldn't let people march and protest on "No Kings Day".
I saw this online and I think this is more accurate than your accusation ...
Labeling Trump a fascist is inaccurate, hyperbolic, or politically motivated, arguing he aligns more with authoritarian populism, hypercapitalism, or nativism without fully embodying fascism's totalitarian or revolutionary elements. Key points include:- Trump lacks the structured ideology or state-controlled economy of classical fascism; instead, he's seen as a "hypercapitalist" who seeks to dismantle democratic constraints on big capital, differing from fascist embrace of state intervention.
- Critics note that fascism historically involved eliminating multi-party systems and opposition, which hasn't occurred under Trump—checks and balances like Congress and the judiciary remain, and dissent is still possible without severe repercussions.
- Some historians, like Isabel Hull, have argued Trump is more of a "nativist-populist" than a principled fascist, and accusations often stem from rhetorical excess common in U.S. politics (e.g., Harry Truman calling his opponent a fascist in 1948).
- Detractors of the label say it obscures real issues like his hubris or policy flaws, and that equating him to Hitler dilutes the term's meaning, turning it into a mere insult rather than a precise analysis.
- In public discourse, such as on platforms like Reddit, opinions are polarized: some view him as fascistic due to nationalism and racism, while others dismiss it as overblown or ignorant of fascism's requirements.
- Ultimately, the answer depends on one's definition of fascism and interpretation of Trump's behavior. Strict historians may reserve the term for interwar European regimes, while broader applications highlight perceived parallels in authoritarianism and threats to pluralism. As of late 2025, with Trump in his second term, the debate continues without resolution, often reflecting partisan divides more than objective fact.
