Fascism
Political ideology
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy,

That's totalitarianism, which is somewhat different.

A totalitarian government is characterized by rigid control over the populace, with the government unhampered by legal limits.

Fascism, is government control over private property and private enterprise.  As opposed to socialism, which represents government ownership of industry and the means to produce.

Doesn't exactly sound like a man who cut regulations, who most of his life RAN a private company...does it.

Now, what of Trump makes you think he's totalitarian?  BIDEN, in fact is.  He ignores laws, big and small.  We have an ongoing invasion, because he's decided that immigration law doesn't apply to his people.

What did TRUMP do that ignored all law?

What did Trump do that attacked the property and rights of citizens?

What did Trump do that was anything other than offensive to the delicate-skinned?

When terms like "fascist" are applied to anyone in government that the speaker doesn't LIKE...the result is sloppy and mixed.  Some are energized, irrationally.  They've never heard the terms defined.

Others are deadened by it and just tune out.  Which they shouldn't do - as I've pointed out, we DO have actual fascists in our government.

You don't like Trump.  Like I said to Sprint...don't vote for him.
