    This is what we can expect our country to look like under Trump and his cronies in the years ahead. Still cannot believe he got elected.

    fas·cism
    ˈfaSHˌizəm/Submit
    noun
    an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
    synonyms: authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; More
    (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

    The Best example here in North America we have had of fascism has been with the Aztecs and Mayans. Very authoritarian leaders like Montezuma---who even thought they were gods! Of course they had slavery and were intolerant of every other people and culture around them.

    BTW, Trump will be awesome!:cheerleader:

    Don's just chummed up with Putin to remove the 70-year-long threat of nuke war hanging over your kids and grandkids heads and you don't like him? Huh you try to be nice to people..
    Surely you didn't want this hysterical little granny to be your President?

    Guess if you are into fascism, then Trump is your type of leader. It's been proven through the decades that the economy actually does better under a democratic president. If you are one of the few super rich at the very top, then I am sure Trump will be good for your bottom line. By the way, where do you think the money will come from for all those tax cuts?

    Fake News.

    Your" Dr Lawrence Britt" isn't a doctor, he's not even any sort of academic. It's astounding that anyone can throw something on the internet, and it somehow becomes official.

    On the other hand, my blog somehow became a "source" for a Wikipedia article, so there ya go.

    Trump has his own money, so he isn't beholden to all the corporations and self serving interests, and is free to do what is best for the American people. Now put on your thinking cap and tell me, don't you think being free the way he is, makes him more able to choose people who are the most competent in their field, rather than having to give those positions to people who donated large sums to his campaign?

    debbietoo you're not a stupid person, so I'm going to go into our government's policies a little deeper. Those who control Washington such as Soros and the neo cons, are ideologues who believe the end justifies the means. These people are globalists who believe in a one world government. Even yesterday George Soros the Nazi collaborator said that Trump is like Hitler because he's destroying his one world government.

    Who do you think has been supporting the NGO's all over the world for regime changes and causing civil wars? Who do you think today is supporting Black Lives Matter and tens of other groups to do the same thing in the US? It's George Soros because like those who destroyed Imperial Russia and turned it into the Soviet Union at the cost of 20 million lives, he and others like him know the best way to achieve their one world government is to cause chaos and civil wars.

    This is why the neo con run CIA has supported terrorists in Syria, and this is why the CIA has supported the Nazis in Ukraine. This is also why Vladimir Putin with his belief in a multi polar world and a respect towards other cultures is looked on as the globalist's biggest enemy.

    OP must read the break down of fascism and also learn more about the author she plugs and whom he was discussing.

    But the youtube that Democrats will deny explain why I said we are leaving fascism.

    Why didn't Trump show his tax returns? My theory, as is many others, is he received tons of money from Russia and/or Putin directly in order to get him elected. Trump may be on good terms with Putin, but what about China and the rest of the developed nations in the UN? China also has nuclear weapons. It's not good sense to cut off ties and/or all funding with the United Nations in my opinion. We need to deal with other nations in a peaceful and fair manner; in trade and in war (come to their aid when needed, so that they will also come to our aid if needed). Trump will only isolate the US further from the rest of the world. Heck, most other developed countries, like France and other European countries already have a bad taste in their mouth for the US as it is. Everything is moving toward privatization by corporate monopolies. They will write and enforce the rules and we will not have a democracy of the people, but a government ruled by corporate fascism. If you don't see that coming, then you obviously have a different perception of the US today than I do. As far as the economy doing better under democratic presidents, I can post a chart to prove it. Trump actually said that himself! I believe he used to be a democrat and even praised Obama at one point in a conversation.

    Obama was a figurehead and an emperor. Like others with messianic visions of themselves, (such as Soros and Erdogan), it mattered not what he did, (that's why he didn't bother to do anything), but what he said... So he lied and lied and lied, and the more people accepted his lies the more assured he was of his messianic purpose in life.

    He listened to no one for he knew what was best, and he didn't have to do anything since it was part and parcel of his exalted position... so he played golf everyday, and spent 87 million of our tax payer money for his vacations in Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard.

    But that's okay, it was part of the obeisance due him.:worship:

    Debbie I thought you were a bright girl but naive, but now I know it's none of those things. You're just repeating the same garbage as the corporate medias... and no doubt with the same intent. Give it up!

    Hi Debbietoo and welcome to the forum. You seem to be getting quite a hard time!! I know I read Trump got a massive donation something like a million dollars from a neo Zionist, though I cannot remember his name but that with his son on law will explain his position on Israel. I don't think he has any opinions about much except how omnipotent he is. I would imagine that the reason he does not show tax returns is because he does not pay tax and has even said so - as well as the reality that he does not have much money, probably in the minuses all being taken here and there. I do not think he will help the white wc at all but from what I have been hearing in the UK it was not them so much who voted him in but more those with a bob or two who are the people he is expected to help. He didn't even pay his workers properly as there are videos all over the net so he sure as hell is not going to suddenly change his mind and do things to help the poor.

    I liked your list on fascism and I did think it encompassed the sort of things which are now being expressed on the forum and the usual which have been seen in past fascist regimes like women knowing their place with the strong man around (although that is always a feature when men feel they are not making it) anti gay, nationalistic and authoritarian with the 'other' to bring people together against. Also typical of fascism is the distain of the intellect. I was reading that really each fascist system is unique to itself and if we are going to see a new upsurgence of fascism in the US and in Europe then it too will be unique. He has of course installed a massive number of military into his government. Not impossible if he felt strong enough to go for a coup.

    Interesting John Pilger believes Trump will be less dangerous than Clinton would have been with her war mongering but I am not sure he is right on this one. Some people are thinking he will just give those who are angry a feeling that they are being listened to but I am none too sure. Theresa May has already made clear she is after Trump so she will be trying to take the UK along any fascist route that Trump goes down, then in France it is possible that either Le Penn or someone almost as bad will become President so the West is looking not very different to how it looked in the 1930's. We have been engaged in a world war with Muslims since 9/11 but so far have kept it off our shores. It is natural that Trump being far right and having major support from white nationalists will like Putin as he is much the same and will want to bring America back to Tradition or fascism depending on your reading. However my reading suggests it is unlikely he will maintain a good relationship with Russia if he continues on his intents against Iran. That probably would end any goodwill there. He looks like he could be much more dangerous with China and what with his talk of going on a nuke race, his continual aggravation of China, his intent to build up the military and the Number of military in his Government it will be a miracle if the US gets through even the first 4 years without major war -I guess they may not have their military ready till his second term if he gets it.

    How things are going to pan out I do not know. The next few years are ones we will either come to gether and get through stronger or god help our children.

    Again welcome to the forum. Hope to see you in other threads.

    Why are you the poster but Trump will soon be sworn in as president?

    As to why Trump failed to show tax returns?? This is the nosiest country on earth.

    How can you tell us this is the best economy given how Obama has dragged us closer to bankruptcy?

    He has the highest all time revenues yet is the king of the hill on borrowing money.

    Well one sunny day, he stepped out of the White House, leg and leg with his secret service all on video of course, locates a vendor and buys tea from her. Then he sees kids sitting on the wall at PA Ave, having bowled in the WH bowling alleys, and high fives them. Image he had high fived we the public as opposed to giving us the middle finger.

    Ummm... that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. That's the craziest conspiracy theory iv heard regarding this election yet. For starters. Trunpnis a billionaire. He didn't need anyone else's money to help him win. Second. If trump was receiving money from Russia, it wouldn't take his tax returns to find that out. Third. We already know how much the trump campaign spent during the election. It was astronomically less then what Clinton spent, and we do know for a fact that hundreds of millions of that DID come from foreign actors. Like the 500 odd million she got from Saudi Arabia.

    Just out of curiosity, what term would we apply to those wishing to live under the following:
    an authoritarian and nationalistic left-wing system of government and social organization.
    synonyms: authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; More
    (in general use) extreme left-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

    Nice post. At least you seem a little more open minded than some of the other posters. I have read up on Soros. To some, he is a kind and generous humanitarian who gives to great causes, and to others, especially the extreme right, he is an evil doer trying to take over the world through some sort of "shadow government". I have been to his website and did not read anything evil into it. I have also read that the Bush family had ties to Adolf HItler, and this goes way back and that they actually helped finance his regime. If you don't believe me, google it. The US spends more on military and defense than any other developed country in the world; actually wastes money on it, when we could be spending that money on social safety nets and infrastructure. Wars make money. You will notice when Bush became President, the US was constantly at war. Obama did not start the war in Iraq. Bush did, and he did it to pacify his corporate cronies who make billions from wars, like LOckheed Martin, Boeing, and especially, the Koch Brothers. See the attached article below. These people don't care about other people. They are not humanitarians. Their only goal is their bottom line; and their greed is never ending.

    George W. Bush didn't just lie about the Iraq War. What he did was much worse.

    Trump did not make his tax returns known to you, but he did to the IRS (obviously). Trump is currently being audited, he has been audited most years. If Russia or Putin were funding his campaign through indirect means, that is illegal and the IRS (the same IRS that has for 6 years targeted conservatives) would certainly make that an issue.

    The rest of your post is the usual partisan "progressive" line, a line built by propaganda and the corrupt media.

    The term is still "fascism" because fascism has deep socialist roots, the evidence is obvious when you read the Nazi Party 25 point plan http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/25points.htm

    Fascism is socialism with a nationalistic spin. The "left" just cannot admit it.

    Every fascist and white nationalist in this country supports Trump. They literally yearn for someone like Putin who will put people in their place. It's just part of their DNA, nothing we can do about it.
