    Again, which historians are sharing this particular opinion?

    White males derived from the privileged Western middle and upper classes, and whose entire lens is Eurocentric? Or Eastern 'peasant' historians with a very different filter? Ask each to define Mussolini, and you'll get two very different answers.

    That is absolutely not what's happened/happening.

    Since 1973 (the date of your dictionary), the Left have REVISIONED THEMSELVES. The role reversal is close to complete. Even continuing to call ourselves Left is arguably a nonsense at this point.

    Laughable attempt. Nope 2020 is over whether anyone likes it or not, it is done this is about insuring that the same damn fustercluck that happened in 2020 doesn't happen again.

    Tell that to Trump and his followers. They still don't believe that.

    Trump was the fustercluck in 2020. I'd love to see his insanity not happen again in 2024, but it looks like it will be leading the GOP in both 2022 and 2024.

    There was evidence of mass fraud; they just was not proof. Evidence of mass fraud would be in the fact that absentee voting leads to more voter fraud. Since absentee voting was unprecedently implemented on a widespread basis in 2020, that, along with other indices, is evidence of mass fraud. What we don't have is proof of mass fraud. But we also didn't have an unfettered investigation into the 2020 presidential election to conclude whether there was mass fraud; what we had was a rushed investigation funded by the Trump campaign that had to find widespread fraud in less than two months, an impossible endeavor. This is like a killer only giving the police 5 seconds to search the house, and then saying, "See, your honor, no evidence that I killed so-and-so." And then everyone saying, "Well, that's all the proof I need that nothing is afoul!"

    There was neither.

    This is not evidence of mass voter fraud. Not even close.

    There were no "indices."

    Such is the excuse offered by most fringe conspiracy theorists.

    So dictionaries past the 1940's have the incorrect definition of "fascism," which is why your dictionary from 1973 has the correct definition of "fascism"? While you got your dictionary out, please look up the phrase "non sequitur."

    Do you really think I meant the 1940s was a hard line in the sand, or did you think I meant it was when the shift began?

    Well, the shift began, according to you, in the 1940's, but apparently did not affect your dictionary, which was published about 30 years after the shift supposedly began. It just affects the Merriam Webster dictionary of today, apparently.

    "Today" is about 50 years after my dictionary was published and you think you can find one today that still says fascism is a right wing phenomenon?

    It is evidence of mass fraud when put in conjunction with the fact that Joe Biden has been running for president for the last 30 years, never making it past the primaries, and then, in the same year in which absentee voting, which, based on empirical data, leads to more voter fraud, is implemented on a widescale basis, he becomes the most winningest president ever, defying orthodox indices, such as losing a majority of the bellwether counties, but yet still winning. It simply does not pass the smell test, and it should warrant an unfettered investigation. So far, no unfettered investigation has happened. It's like Democrats, ironically, don't care about democracy.

    Why would I purposely look for the wrong definition of fascism? If I wanted to do that, I'd look at your outdated dictionary. I'm looking at the most authoritative, contemporary source on the American-English language, Merriam-Webster.

    That's not evidence. That's cause for concern. There was no evidence of voter fraud presented by anyone at any time. So the task then was to verify every absentee ballot, and that is a standard task of the election commissions anyway.

    Regarding mass voter fraud, it is egregiously absurd to think that suddenly, after a couple of centuries of it never happening nor there being any known reason it should or could now happen, that tens of thousands of citizens would cast illegal votes in a coordinated plan to steal the election. Equally absurd is it to believe a few individuals managed to cast tens of thousands of ballots each without being detected.

    See above. You're using the word "evidence" VERY incorrectly. Evidence is proof. Absentee ballots are not proof.

    And that is a flip-flop.

    The Ninjas and other groups carried out several investigations in state that were considered DEFINITE fraud centers. The Ninjas audited AZ with an announced end date that they chose and they couldn't meet, so they announced they were going to extend the audit by a couple of months to finish. They finished according to their own schedule, and guess what. ... They said their count showed Biden won by a slightly larger majority than was originally counted. Similar for Wisconsin.

    But you think there was evidence of fraud. Amazing. AMAZING! --and you can vote! We need a law.

    There needs to be a special counsel investigation into the 2020 presidential election. It should be like the Mueller investigation: funded by the US governments, no time table, and having a wide scope, such as thoroughly scrutinizing all officials in the Biden campaign on anything that may be criminal, including process crimes.

    There was no factual evidence the Trump campaign worked with Russians to interfere in the 2016 election (even after 2+ years of investigations) which many approved of...The investigation w/o the factual evidence to start the investigation.:roll:
