With Trump's former chair of the Joint Chiefs, Gen.Milley, calling Trump" fascist to the core", here are some of the definitions of fascism. What part of the definition did he not try to match in the past and promises he will match if re-elected.? From Merriam-Webster: "a movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascists) that exalts nation and often race....... and advocates a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. "From the Cambridge dictionary: " a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control of social and economic life, and extreme pride in country and race, with no expression of political disagreement allowed.
Note: During his presidency, Trump attempted to get the active military to put down demonstrators, he asked Gen. Milley to shoot demonstrators in the legs (Milley refused; Trump said he ought to be shot) Trump is promising to use the military to put down protests against him (what he calls the "enemy from within"), imprisoning and prosecuting those who disagree with him, and delicensing media that does not echo his views.
He said several times he would use the military against his political enemies....the "enemy within". Yes, Trump said he’d use the military against Americans he called ‘the enemy from within’ (msn.com)
Racism is central to Trump's political strategy. Fear of immigrants poisoning our blood with their bad genes is his current pitch, though two blond, blue-eyed wives were immigrants. Brown and black are the "poisoners". He promises political violence and retribution, using the DOJ to launch investigations of his opponents, whether there was probable cause or not. He had already advocated executing generals who did not obey his orders even when they violated the Constitution.. advocating and executing disobedience generals delicensing opposition media. To get the power to successfully get done what he failed to do in a second term, the blueprint is ready to go. All he has to do is sign executive orders, and thanks to the Supreme Court, if he breaks the law doing it, he is immune since all of these are official acts as president.
