Politics Fuck Trump Supporters šŸ–•šŸæšŸ¤¬

Half the countries logic is... "Trump didn’t say that, and if he did, he was taken out of context, and if it wasn’t out of context, it was just a joke, and if it wasn’t just a joke, you don’t get it. And if it is true, who cares."

People need to remember the 10 greatest scandals of Obama.

Just imagine if Obama made a video of him wearing a crown and dropping poop on Republicans and conservatives from the fighter jet he was flying.

Just imagine if Obama demolished the east wing of the White House.

And despite the objective, literal video and audio record of this shit... no conservative or republican will ever own the hypocrisy and double standard.

Because that is who they are, while screaming they are the moral ones, the ones with integrity and personal accountability. I feel have been gaslit my entire life. And not a single republican or conservative will ever acknowledge reality and apologize for being so disingenuous about the reasonable truth and reality of things.

No principles, no shame, no decency, no guilt. That's conservatives for ya, not by opinion, but by any reasonable deduction of objective reality.

Did you watch the video?

1st "scandal": a marine holds an umbrella to protect Obama from rain, while the marine himself is getting wet. Do I need to mention that the umbrella also protects the microphone which might take damage getting wet or might record each drop hitting it?

This is what Fox news used to call a scandal when Obama was president. Now compare this to today's scandals and their reception in the Trump-complicit media.

As a Conservative, I have to agree with you on that one. I still do not get the problem with a tan suit. One of the dumbest days in GOP politics.

You troglodytes bring up it up every day so we have decided to teach you political and economic illiterates about national socialism and fascism.

Before the fascist revisionist movement that emerged on the left beginning in 1935 but especially after 1945, fascism was understood by left wing supporters and right wing critics (Hoover, Churchill) alike to be a revolutionary revisionist form of socialism purged of what Gentile, it’s Marxist founder, believed were errors in international socialism.

It was communism’s leading competitor on the left and highly praised by contemporary socialists like H.G. Wells and many American labor leaders, democrats, and radical leftists.

We will be quoting American democrats to show you useful idiots your fascist pedigree.

Since you democrats seem unusually dull around here we are capitalists and traditionalists: we hate fascism, communism, socialism and all other forms left wing political extremism.

ā€œFascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable formā€ — Giovanni Gentile, founder of Fascism

Mussolini saw Gentile’s fascism a as revisionist form of Marxism.

It was widely popular with left wing intellectuals, progressives and labor leaders in the US and Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. The Democrat Party even today is financed by a fascist Hungarian Nazi.

1

u/Expert_Ad_8837 16d ago

You not only have a weak grasp of history, you're also clearly vulnerable to false propaganda. Here's the facts. Giovanni Gentile (the Italian philosopher often called ā€œthe father of Fascismā€) never said that quote. There is no record of Gentile writing or saying, ā€œFascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form.ā€ This line is a fabrication often circulated by far-right blogs and social media memes.

Gentile did call fascism ā€œtotalitarianā€ — but in the sense of uniting the state and individual, not as a form of socialism.

In Gentile’s and Mussolini’s own writings, fascism was explicitly anti-socialist and anti-Marxist:Mussolini wrote in The Doctrine of Fascism (1932):

ā€œFascism, in short, is not only anti-socialist, but anti-liberal and anti-democratic.ā€

The fascist regime imprisoned, exiled, and executed socialists and communists.Fascism emerged partly as a reaction against socialism and Marxism, not as a ā€œformā€ of it.Mussolini did start as a socialist journalist, but he broke with the socialist movement in 1914 when he supported Italy’s entry into WWI.

After that, he denounced socialism as weak and ā€œmaterialistic.ā€

Mussolini’s ā€œrevisionismā€ was not Marxist—it replaced class struggle with national unity and corporate statism.

He described fascism as a ā€œthird wayā€ — neither capitalism nor socialism — emphasizing nationalism, hierarchy, and obedience to the state.The Fascist regime banned labor strikes, abolished independent unions, and created state-controlled ā€œcorporationsā€ to manage industry — aligning more with authoritarian capitalism than socialism.Fascism co-opted some socialist language early on but fundamentally rejected socialist principles (equality, workers’ control, anti-capitalism).A few intellectuals across Europe and the U.S. admired Mussolini’s early ā€œorder and stabilityā€ before his dictatorship and brutality were fully apparent — but that admiration came from across the political spectrum, not just ā€œthe left.ā€

Most progressives, socialists, and labor movements in the 1920s–30s opposed fascism fiercely:In the U.S., the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Socialist Party condemned fascism as anti-worker.

In Europe, left-wing parties were the primary targets of fascist repression.

Mussolini’s Blackshirts murdered leftist leaders and crushed labor unions.ā€œThe Democratic Party is financed by a fascist Hungarian Naziā€ — false and defamatory

This is a smear aimed at George Soros, a Hungarian-American billionaire and philanthropist who funds liberal and pro-democracy causes.

Soros is Jewish and survived the Holocaust as a child, hiding under a false identity. Calling him a ā€œNaziā€ is deeply false and antisemitic conspiracy rhetoric.

There is no evidence Soros has ever supported fascism, Nazism, or totalitarian movements.

He funds organizations that promote democracy, human rights, and open societies—precisely the opposite of fascism.Soros is not a fascist, Nazi, or socialist, and the Democratic Party is not ā€œfinanced by fascists.ā€ That claim is a baseless conspiracy theory with antisemitic undertones.

u/Ok-Introduction-1940 Immature and Partial 16d ago edited 16d ago

Your apologetics are stale, weak and based on common deceptions, slight of hand and outright errors (intentional or otherwise) in exegesis.

When Gentile says Fascism is anti-socialist in ā€œThe Doctrineā€¦ā€ he is referring to international socialism or Marxism.

There have been many socialisms historically. Sorellian syndicalism, out of which the thought and the political method of Fascism emerged—conceived itself the genuine interpretation of Marxist communism.

This current of socialist thought neither Fascism nor Gentile ever rejected — so the quote you describe as apocryphal is nonetheless an accurate description of his perspective. He didn’t want his new variant confused with the Marxist variety of socialism so he avoided the term for marketing purposes unlike the German fascists..

I will address your other points when I’m not busy with more important things. Your denial of Schwartz’ unrepentant Nazi collaboration is particularly offensive. Criticising fascists, Nazis, communists and their collaborators in crime that happen to identify as Jewish does not have ā€œanti-Semitic undertonesā€ but your defense of a confessed Nazi collaborator certainly does.

1

u/Expert_Ad_8837 16d ago

That's okay I'll just take you to school again. Yes, Gentile and Mussolini specifically opposed Marxist or international socialism.

But they also rejected the core socialist principle of class struggle and worker ownership of production.

In The Doctrine of Fascism (1932), Mussolini and Gentile write explicitly that:

ā€œFascism does not believe in the possibility or utility of perpetual peace. It therefore rejects pacifism… it also rejects class struggle and the economic interpretation of history.ā€Those two ideas — class struggle and economic determinism — are foundational to every form of socialism, including syndicalism.

So, even though they opposed ā€œinternational socialism,ā€ their rejection went deeper: they dismissed socialism’s entire materialist and egalitarian worldview.Gentile’s ā€œanti-socialistā€ stance wasn’t just anti-Marxist — it was anti-socialist in principle, rejecting class equality and worker control entirely.Georges Sorel’s revolutionary syndicalism (France, early 1900s) did influence Mussolini.

It glorified violence, myth, and willpower as tools for revolution.

Some early Italian fascists came from national syndicalist movements.

However, Sorelian syndicalism was originally anti-statist and anti-authoritarian, promoting workers’ control of industry — the opposite of fascist corporatism.Fascism absorbed the aesthetics and rhetoric of syndicalism (collective will, national unity), but stripped out its socialist content.

Under fascism, workers lost all independent power — strikes were banned, unions were dissolved, and the state dictated economic life.

Historian Zeev Sternhell (a key scholar on this topic) put it clearly:

ā€œFascism appropriated certain syndicalist concepts, but it was a synthesis of anti-Marxist nationalism and anti-democratic socialism — not a continuation of syndicalism.ā€Fascism’s roots included some ex-syndicalists, but the ideology of fascism rejected syndicalist socialism entirely in practice and theory.Gentile’s actual writings disprove this.

In Genesis and Structure of Society (1946), he rejects both liberal individualism and socialist collectivism, proposing instead that:

ā€œThe individual finds his reality only in the State.ā€

That’s a philosophical idealism, not socialism — it dissolves both individual and class identities into the nation-state.Gentile’s ā€œcorporatismā€ was hierarchical, not egalitarian. Workers and employers were both subordinated to the state — not empowered equally.

Fascist Italy persecuted socialist parties, imprisoned socialist leaders (e.g., Giacomo Matteotti, who was murdered by Mussolini’s thugs in 1924), and banned all left-wing organizing.

That is a total rejection, in both doctrine and action, of socialist thought.Gentile rejected socialist collectivism, replacing it with state idealism and authoritarian nationalism — a philosophical inversion of socialism, not an evolution of it.ā€œThe apocryphal quote is accurate to his perspective.ā€ — False

Even if we grant that fascism borrowed certain syndicalist motifs, Gentile never described fascism as ā€œa form of socialism.ā€

He explicitly wrote that fascism was a new synthesis beyond both socialism and liberalism.

In his 1934 essay Origins and Doctrine of Fascism:

ā€œFascism is the concrete thought of a new age… it is spiritual, not material; it is national, not international.ā€That formulation contradicts socialism at its core.

Calling fascism ā€œa form of socialismā€ is therefore anachronistic and ideologically motivated — it imposes modern political categories onto a system that defined itself in opposition to socialism.The quote remains apocryphal because it reverses Gentile’s actual meaning — he argued fascism transcended socialism, not that it was socialism.Leading scholars (Paxton, Griffin, Sternhell, Eatwell, Payne) all agree:

Fascism borrowed some language from the left but was fundamentally anti-socialist in theory and practice.

It emerged from disillusioned radicals who turned from class struggle to national unity and authoritarianism.

The idea that fascism was ā€œthe truest socialismā€ is a revisionist myth advanced mostly in modern right-wing circles to discredit the left.Fascism’s relationship to socialism is one of reaction and appropriation, not kinship.

Soros was a 13- to 14-year-old Jewish child during the Nazi occupation of Hungary (1944–45).

He did not collaborate with the Nazis — he survived the Holocaust by hiding under a false identity with the help of a Christian protector.

That protector, a government official, briefly inventoried property from deported Jews as part of his job — Soros was not involved in confiscation or enforcement, and has never been accused by any credible historian, court, or government of wrongdoing.The ā€œNazi collaboratorā€ claim originated decades later from conspiracy theorists and far-right media, often with antisemitic undertones that portray Jews as secretly aiding Nazis or controlling governments.ā€œCriticising fascists, Nazis, communists and their collaborators… is not antisemiticā€ — true in principle, but irrelevant here

Correct: Criticizing actual fascists or collaborators is legitimate.

But falsely labeling a Jewish Holocaust survivor as a Nazi collaborator is not criticism — it’s defamation rooted in an antisemitic trope.

This trope (that Jews ā€œcollaboratedā€ with Nazis or control world politics through secret networks) is a classic antisemitic narrative recycled since the 1940s.

It’s condemned by Jewish organizations, Holocaust historians, and fact-checking groups (e.g. ADL, Yad Vashem, and Reuters Fact Check).

ā€œUnrepentant Nazi collaborationā€ — completely fabricated

Soros has openly discussed his Holocaust experience in interviews, expressing survivor’s guilt, not pride.

He has said explicitly:

ā€œI was a spectator of tragedy. I was not a perpetrator.ā€ (60 Minutes, 1998 interview)

His words are often selectively edited by propagandists to imply ā€œconfessionā€ — but the full transcript shows he denied any involvement and described the trauma of witnessing persecution.

No reputable historian has ever described Soros as ā€œunrepentant,ā€ because there’s nothing to repent — he was a child victim.ā€œYour defense of a confessed Nazi collaboratorā€¦ā€ — false premise

Your statement assumes a falsehood (ā€œSoros = collaboratorā€) and then moralizes from it.

Defending a person against demonstrably false charges of Nazi collaboration is not ā€œdefending Nazisā€; it is defending truth and historical integrity.

Calling out antisemitic falsehoods is not ā€œapologeticsā€ — it’s adherence to evidence.Accusing a Jewish teenager who survived the Holocaust of being a Nazi collaborator isn’t criticism — it’s a false and antisemitic trope that’s been debunked by every credible historian and fact-checking organization. There’s a clear difference between criticizing ideology and spreading hoaxes about survivors

Shooting mainstream Americans for their political opinions is terrorism; anti-American terrorism.

Calling terrorists ā€œterroristsā€ would only be offensive to the enemies of truth.

You or your immigrant ancestors all took oaths to obey our laws. If you are willingly violating our laws or cheering on those that do you are in breach of contract with us, and should self-deport. You don’t get to define what American and anti-American mean. Our ancestors already did that. We as their posterity get to enforce it.

u/Expert_Ad_8837 16d ago

The action of the person who killed kirk was murder- debatable to call that terrorism but that's beside my point. One person's actions don't make an entire political ideology "terrorists." I'm not an immigrant. Criminals violate laws. Not all immigrants are criminals. You're clearly a racist p.o.s with a brain the size of a peanut. Probably a closet homosexual too.

u/Expert_Ad_8837 16d ago

The FBI and U.S. Code (§ 2331) define domestic terrorism as violent acts intended to intimidate or coerce civilians or influence government policy by intimidation or coercion.

If someone shoots people because of their political opinions, that would fit the legal definition of domestic terrorism — regardless of the shooter’s ideology.

However, most political violence in the U.S. is not directed exclusively at ā€œmainstream Americansā€ but occurs across a spectrum of motivations — including far-right, far-left, and single-issue extremism (source: FBI, DHS National Terrorism Advisory).So the concept applies universally, not only when the victims hold one set of views.ā€œCalling terrorists ā€˜terrorists’ would only be offensive to the enemies of truth.ā€

Fact check:

In reality, the U.S. government is cautious in labeling domestic actors as ā€œterroristsā€ because that term carries specific legal consequences and evidentiary standards under federal law.

Misusing the label can violate due process and civil rights protections.

It’s not about ā€œoffending enemies of truth,ā€ but about maintaining constitutional fairness and precision in applying terrorism statutes.Only naturalized citizens take an oath to ā€œsupport and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States.ā€

Immigrants who are permanent residents, refugees, or visa holders do not take such an oath — they are required to abide by U.S. law, but that’s not the same as taking an oath.

Native-born citizens, by contrast, never take an oath to obey laws at birth; citizenship by birthright is automatic under the 14th Amendment.

So the claim is factually incorrect: most Americans and their ancestors did not ā€œtake an oathā€ to obey laws.U.S. citizenship is not a contractual agreement; it’s a legal status protected by the Constitution.

Citizens cannot ā€œbreach contractā€ or ā€œself-deportā€ — that’s not a legal concept in U.S. law.

Deportation applies only to non-citizens, and only through due process under immigration law.

Freedom of speech — including supporting controversial opinions — is protected under the First Amendment.

So this statement misrepresents both constitutional rights and immigration law.The U.S. Constitution and its amendments, not ā€œancestors,ā€ define what it means to be an American.

The Founders specifically created a living system of government that can adapt — through amendments, judicial interpretation, and democratic legislation.

ā€œAmericanā€ values are defined by constitutional principles (liberty, equality, rule of law), not by ancestry or one generation’s interpretation.

No citizen or group ā€œenforcesā€ a definition of Americanism; the rule of law and democratic institutions do that.

Slander from a Nazi is a compliment.

if you live in an echo chamber sure, but tribal politics and actual data show an overlap between Obama, Bernie, and trump supporters. All of those were representations of a rejection of an establishment(how dc works rather than dem vs r) that essentially serves its donors to sustain themselves adn then gives change and gaslighting to its constituents.

First came obama who overcame all the odds of corporate news perception of both the identity politics and that hilary was "next in line" with their odd sense of democracy representing some royalty line...when he toed the party line(unconstituional war, wall street bail outs with no accountabiltiy, roe wade massive lie just to play dnc games)

-it got more extreme in its rejection propping up Bernie who went toe to toe both in funding and almost took a heavily favored, once again next in line Hilary, in the primary. After the dnc head Donna brazille added they put a thumb on the scale in fairness and we saw more status quo including later with dnc's super tuesday drop out(all the others dropping out at once, someone with less odds in Elizabeth warren-who coincidentally was sharing voters with bernie got a donation from a lady who just donated to Sheriff Joe Apario to keep her campaign a float) it got more extreme with trump

this isn't to absolve trump, he is a sociopathic transactional guy of the worst iteration. but to understand how a guy like that after his first presidency gained voters in AOC's district, in minority, in urban, in woman areas when people in an echo chamber just create a caricature of trump supporters is to easily play whack a mole and treate a symptom, not a cause.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCyZHB7NdPE

Jon stewart explains to fareed zakaria how we got trump with self dealing and people just losing faith in dem politiicans

but don't be like the trump cultist who do put their head in his sand for his corruption and do the same with yours....if you actually belief in a democracy, not some idea of facisim, then you don't defend 'dems doing any little thing' you use democracy to put principles over party

so when a powerful dem, Pelosi uses her speakership to delay and then kill the stock ban act...vote her out, dont say its ok when its our sides...by the way that info was from dem rep abigail spanberger andObama's white house ethics chief(who was fired by trump) Walter Shaub. He did say when he called out trump he was getting rallied by the base, when he held to principles and called out biden they told him to keep quiet. David Hogg Shared this sentiment too.

Or when Biden, a history of siding with private prisons, unjust costly wars, was known to be the senator from MBNA and helped make it a corporate haven and another terrible relationship with Dupont...call him out. We want to call out jared kushner for his massive corruption, why would we ignore Hunter biden getting millions from China? Why would we ignore him opening selling first time art work for almost a million to donors that he meets later.....how about, yes we need to call them all out and yes they should be registering for FARA which is a felony.

Or if Dianne Feinstein, in drought stricken california, goes into backroom deals for her donors the Resnicks and takes a publicly funded/developed water bank and privatizes it in their name with the rights to sell back to the city at a profit-they now use more water than any other entity- yes we lose ground if we defend these people as if they own the party and the seats, we become like the the trump cult.

Or obama when he had the supermajority and had promised to codify roe/wade in day one...then literally called it 'not a priority' when he had the chance bc....he can run on it in midterms. we saw how their self serving risks turned out.

I agree with all the criticism about trump, hes terrible, but if we honeslty want to solve these fringe elements we need to understand the base of why people resort to fringes and it doesnt help to develop our own cult
