Oh, David, you can feel free to say what you really think?here. We are a safe environment!

1.? What is a fascist?
An adherent of facism? I am not sure of the implied question, but my knee-jerk is that the term popularly refers?to anyone supporting a dictator.
often?Fascism?:?a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the?) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized??government headed by a??leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition?--
It's come by the political opposition and the news media to mean "a very, very, very bad heterosexual White male plotting and sneering frightfully and frighteningly just off stage".? My sense is that they think that by calling Trump a "Fascist" or a "Nazi", instead of simply "an aspiring dictator", they sound as though they have a deep understanding of history and so, as highly educated experts, can be trusted to know whereof they proclaim.? It's propaganda language.? All they're really saying is that he is an evil man who if elected and inaugurated would do unbelievably beastly things to the transsexual children upon whom the shining future of this disgracefully racist country depends .? The deplorable fools elected him anyway.
