The #stupid! It burns! Another #FoxNews host humiliates herself on her own show. First of all, #communism and #fascism are diametrically opposed systems of #government; You can't be both a #communist and a #fascist. And second, fascism is an inherently #rightwing#ideology; the left cannot be fascists. Either this girl never went to high school, or this is a shameless attempt to mislead her viewers.

OK, not news. But I don't mean it just as an insult, or even "stuff I don't like". In 1995 Umberto Eco's essay "Ur-Fascism" (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism) laid out 14 points by which future fascists might be known. Trump ticks almost all of them. So in this series of posts I'm going to go through his points and check Trumpism on each one. Note that I say "Trumpism" rather than just Trump, because Trumpism is larger than just the one man.

I think that the worst and most dangerous misconception #people have about #fascism is that it's this sort of turbocharged "Beast Mode" that #countries can go into to increase their production, win wars, and make the trains run on time, and that the primary objections to it centre on whether the "obvious" increase in efficiency that fascism offers is worth the loss of #freedom and lives. But in reality #fascist regimes like to put up a façade of strength and efficiency, even as they practice #corruption on a scale unimaginable in #democracies and even as the public interest is hollowed out by parasitical #opportunists. There is no trade-off; fascism is a #grift all the way down.

Trump staff creating 'pre-vetted pro-Trump army' of 54,000 loyalists to staff federal government
Staffers who worked for former President Donald Trump are reportedly now assembling a database of MAGA loyalists in preparation for an unprecedented purge of federal workers should Trump win a second term in 2024.
“If you don’t know that #Trump is a #fascist by now — because if it looks like a fascist and talks like a fascist and walks like a fascist and promises to govern like a fascist by putting his political opponents in jail, deporting 10 million people, ignoring the rule of law, centralizing all power, firing all the federal government officials who are not directly controlled by the president — if you don’t think that’s fascism, folks, wake the f–k up!” he said
The #NewYorkTimes is bad, right? Carrying water for the #GOP, right?
There are individuals who buck that trend but in general. We agree, right?
And we agree the GOP is #fascist or at least fascist friendly, right?
And we know, don't we, that there are many in the GOP, especially the old guard, who don't mind the fascism but, like any good fascist, would be happy to stick a knife in #Trump's back if it did l suited them. Right?
Then why do you think they're just being silly boosting #Haley?
