China is robbing us blind. They have committed multiple attacks on my company and stolen intellectual property from us and countless other us companies. Do you think that is OK? If not, what should the response be?Hate to say it, but there are many aspects of the Republican party the last 4 years or so that share traits with fascism, although not to a degree that I would by any means suggest the current GOP is truly 'fascist.'
The right has certainly become very nationalistic, is anti-immigrant (I know many will say not anti-immigrant just anti-illegal, but facts under the Trump administration prove that wrong), favors state goals over free trade (look at the 'trade wars', tariffs and attempts to ban foreign companies such as Tik Tok), utilizes attacks on the press ('enemy of the people', anything negative 'fake news'), has clear traits of tolitarianism (the widely held idea that if someone did not support the president 100% they are a "rino" and that the role of elected members of Congress was to support the president ) and the argument certainly can be made that Trump and some Republicans opposed truly free elections (either making voting more difficult by opposing vote-by-mail, limiting ballot drop boxes to one per county in Texas and refusing to accept the results, when they lost.)
My point here again is simply to recognize that we need to remain vigilant to the dangers the extreme on both the left and the right pose to freedom.
You're opinion on immigration is not rational or tied to facts. You are emotionally involved and I understand that but though all the rme threads I've never seen you post and evidence of a policy or order Trump enacted that was anti immigrant. The definition of fascism, "forcible suppression of opposition" Trump certainly said the media was the enemy of the republic. He never tried to shut them down, deplatform then or silence them. Calling a spade a spade is not fascist.
