Sorry, post 10.
And, you really are lying when you state that I haven't offered any examples.
You asked me a question, and I answered it.
Be a man. I would appreciate it if you were to discuss matters honestly. But I have low expectationsApparently Tim does not actually take the time to read the thread. You went through it point by point.
Thank you.

Re: 14 Characteristics of Fascism
Tim, referring to your post #21, are you contending that Obama is the real fascist, not Trump?
So who is the real fascist here? By far Obama!
Tim
Fred, I think that, sadly, Tim is just using the term "Fascist" as an epithet, an expression of contempt.
He hasn't considered that the term actually describes something. To him, he doesn't like Obama so, he's a fascist. It's a boomerang response one might see on a playground. "I'm not, but you are".
The material that you and others have presented here about the nature of fascism, and the actions & words of Trump and his spokesmen, offers much food for thought. I am genuinely worried about the future of pluralism and democracy.
I think that, over the next fours years, we will be presented with many important questions about the direction of our country.
Some of us will think about these things, and discuss them. Others will spend four years countering every challenge with, "yea well,,,,Obama". Or "oh yea,,,well,Hillary."

Re: 14 Characteristics of Fascism
Goose, you are constantly calling Trump a fascist, please list the things he's done to justify that.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
