Team Trump v/s Everyone

[Caribbean Hen]

are we sentencing bad attitudes? or crimes

Crimes for which there are usually sentencing guidelines and precedent or judge’s discretion.

Basic law of the street. Recognize when someone has the hammer over you.

Justice is served here. Crimes against our country should be punished harshly.

You never supported Jojo or the criminal Biden family for being prosecuted for their crimes

Don’t make up shit you’re ignorant to. I’ve always said prosecute the Biden’s if there’s something there.

Dumb would be assuming that Team Trump, Trump’s DOJ, and House committee couldn’t produce verifiable evidence and prosecute if there was something there.

Nice self own. Bwahahahaha.

Hopefully Trump waits and throws all of them in prison after hes reelected.

When Harris wins she can have him taken to Guantanamo and interrogated about the classified material he gave to Putin.

...definitely official business...

[Bobcat]

Except all the Russian lies the left made up are not true and Putin fears Trump.

What is fascism? And why does Harris say Trump is a fascist?

How do experts on fascism view Trump?

They are divided.

Robert Paxton, a Columbia University professor emeritus who wrote “The Anatomy of Fascism,” has cited the Jan. 6 attack as evidence of Trump's fascism.

“It’s bubbling up from below in very worrisome ways, and that’s very much like the original fascisms,” Paxton told The New York Times Magazine in a piece published this week. “It’s the real thing. It really is.”

Some do not see Trump as meeting the classic historical definition of a fascist, but rather increasingly moving toward politics that have fascist tendencies.

David Kertzer, a Brown University professor and Italian historian, said he was “a little horrified” to hear Harris call Trump a fascist given the term's “historical resonance.” He said there are some similarities, including “mass movement, a cult of the strongman.” He noted that Trump sometimes juts out his chin, though he isn't prone to tearing off his shirt and bare his chest, like Mussolini did.

Kertzer said that fascism involved "a one-party state, a banishing of all opposition newspapers and jailing people who disagreed,” and that, while Trump has talked about jailing opponents, he's not moved toward embracing other key facets of the movement.

“There are certain echoes, but in terms of turning the Republican Party into a one-party state, that seems rather farfetched at the moment,” said Kertzer, author of “The Pope and Mussolini: The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe.”

David Clay Large, a senior fellow at the University of California, Berkeley’s Institute of European Studies, said “the alarm bells now going off may be somewhat overblown."

“Our democratic institutions, however beleaguered, remain much stronger than those of the European nations that turned fascist in the ‘20s and ’30s,” Large said. Still, he added, there would be “a real danger to these institutions” in a second Trump presidential term.

The rise of far-right parties across Europe and Trump’s control of the GOP, Large said, carves out “an entirely new situation: The center cannot hold as it once did.”

Add to that mix social media, which in the digital age mirrors the use of propaganda, amping up emotions and division, he said.

"Where everyone’s an expert, we’ve lost respect for factuality, objectivity, and actual expert opinion,” Large said.
