I mean, i dont actually feel bad for him, but i also dont really think he’s a fascist. To say that means that he’s spent more than 5 seconds thinking about an actual ideology that isnt motivated purely by his own ego and impulses, which i dont buy
Im not speaking to any of the actions of the government, which yeah are objectively fascist. Im saying he doesnt have the capacity to actually do anything for ideological reasons. He’s being brutal to protestors because they make him feel bad and he wants to make them feel bad, thats the extent of his thinking
Sure, not disagreeing with that, i just dont ascribe any ideology to Trump as an individual because it seems pretty clear to me that he just goes on impulse. And while his impulses, and therefore his actions, are often fascistic, just dont think he is an ideological actor
My humble critique is that everything Trump does, stupid or not, is in the interest of upholding capitalism which makes it inherently fascist. I would say the ideology Trump subscribes to is capitalism, which would still put him down as a fascist.
He's at best a stooge that's being manipulated by the reactionary elements within the government telling him "Oh yeah it'll really own the libs if you do this" and he just drools while mumbling about maga.
This is a rumor which has been garbled up by constant retellings. The actual claim is that he had a book of Hitler's speeches. Considering Hitler was considered to be a skilled and compelling speaker, that makes much more sense. Trump doesn't know what a fascist is.

The US is a para-fascist state and many of its citizens are fascists, including our president.
Yeah, he doesn’t know he’s a facist does not matter when he does a bunch fash shit.
Speaking of... anyone still missing from the rental mini van snatchings?

Playing this guessing game on what people are thinking is futile. What are his actions? Why do you think you know why he’s being brutal?

He surrounded himself with fascists and now they tell him what to do. He is fascist and his actions are fascist.

There are reports from his ex wife that Trump kept a copy of Mein Kampf on his bedside table, so I dunno
