    Fearmongering? The republican presidential candidate talked about using the national guard / military on “radical leftists”/“the enemy within”. If that’s not a threat/fascism, what is?

      That’s what I’ve been asking the magabrainz in my life when they object to the f-word. I ask them if this doesn’t count as fascism, what would count, in their view?

      So far, no cogent responses. All emoting.

              Yes, I do. The media has a reputation of taking things Trump says out of context to the point where you’d have to go look for raw interview footage to confirm for yourself.

                Do you like cram the night before a test as well? I’ve been watching his interviews and rallies intently up till now, I don’t understand this desire to procrastinate homework while talking like you did the assignment.
