    Trump will go complete fascist

    Yes, as opposed to his super progressive stances he’s had up until this point… He’s always been a complete fascist, thankfully for us he was just too dumb to fully capitalize on it while in office.

      Trump isn’t a fascist. His supporters are. He just says whatever they want to hear 🤷‍♂️

      Trump understood that, or at least his handlers and now he’s milking the fuck outta 'em.

          The Trump Administration is correctly aligned with Fascism. Several U.S. Presidents were also Fascist, the previous being the Reagan Administration.

            I’m aware, you should send that to Puppy as they seem to be the one who’s confused. Why’d you reply to me with that?

              Oh no, I’m not confused. I’m serious. You’re the only one confused here.

              Trump isn’t a fascist. He’s a fucking idiot.

              You seem to think he is a mastermind with a superplan.

              Laughable. He’s a fucking moron that doesn’t stand for anything beside money. If the easier side to manipulate were liberals, he would be a full blown out socialist.

              The guy is leading the flock of sheep that drive in the most money. End of the story. Stop pretending he even knows and understand what hes saying.

              Holy shit you are blind if you think Trump is a genius

            Wait, FDR is a left communist? He was a social democrat. There’s a joke about how the New Deal saved capitalism. Who the fuck made this?

              He wasn’t even really a social democrat, to be honest. He bowed to the pressure of the socialist party at the time to prevent an actual fucking revolution (even if it would have been unsuccessful). Fdr understood that actual socialism would come knocking at the door if he didn’t capitulate. Clearly the best president we’ve had (in economic terms) in the mostly modern era, but he wasn’t as progress as people believe.

              Edit

              Also, tf is a “left” communist in this context? That’s not generally a term used, and when it is, it’s normally to point out the distinction between anarchists and Marxists, as in Lenin’s “left-wing communism.”

              Is this chart claiming FDR was an anarcho-communist? Because… No. LMAO

    Well… sort of.

    Trump never has held and never will hold any coherent political views of any sort. His entire focus is on himself, and the rest of the world only matters to the degree that he might manipulate people and things to feed his own ego, greed and lust.

    So what’ll likely actually happen is that his mindless supporters will rage, the psychopaths who want the world that having him in power will bring will fan the flames of that rage while whispering in his ear, and yes - he’ll go full fascist. But not because of anything to do with fascism specifically - I doubt he can even grasp the broadest concept of it. It’s simply that that will be, and to some notable degree will be contrived into being, the thing that he will believe will lead him to what he really wants - simply to feed his bottomless ego, greed and lust.

      He does hold coherent political views. If political views are those having to do with the allocation of resources, then you outlined them yourself. He wants to further his own ego, greed, and lust. He thinks the government should exist to fulfill his every desire, and that all resources should go towards fulfilling them. He’s the ultimate embodiment of corruption, with no guiding philosophy beyond selfishness. That is political, because wanting the world to bend to one’s own will through the use of government is political. It’s a kind of God-Emperor political philosophy.
