1.? What is a fascist?
Fascism is a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual. It is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition. This is exactly what Donald Trump proposes.

2.? Should a new president be allowed to hire private entities to vet his appointees?
Only if the new president pays for it and no government subsidy is allowed.

3.? Were you surprised by the apparent outcome of the presidential election?- remembering that the actual election doesn't occur?until the electoral college votes?
Yes. Many people were fooled.

4.? What is the strangest rumor you have heard this election season?
It was the false accusation that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were eating people's pets.

5.? Do you expect major unrest after the election?
No.

Aloha,
Celeste Rogers

Celeste Answered:? "It was the false accusation that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were eating people's pets."

And Darrell Wryly Noted: Just hit Walmart for groceries?while we are grounded in NE Arizona awaiting vehicle service. It Cost $300?to walk out the door and the cart was not overfilled nor extravagantly filled! If that does?not stop soon, I will be looking at the neighbor's chubby dog with a bit of salivation...?

I was surprised at the questions and the answers.

  • 1.? What is a fascist?
    Celeste mentioned a nationalist aspect, and considering the original politics that made it popular before wwii, it would seem so. However, checking the RAE (Spanish Royal Academy, the main authority on spanish language), it says:

1. m. Movimiento pol¨ªtico y social de car¨¢cter totalitario que se desarroll¨® en Italia en la primera mitad del siglo XX, y que se caracterizaba por el corporativismo y la exaltaci¨®n nacionalista.
2. m. Doctrina del fascismo italiano y de los movimientos pol¨ªticos similares surgidos en otros pa¨ªses.
3. m. Actitud autoritaria y antidemocr¨¢tica que socialmente se considera relacionada con el fascismo.
Sin.:?autoritarismo, totalitarismo, dictadura.
Ant.: antifascismo.

? ? It has no mention of nationalism. ?Why would that be?
?
2.? Should a new president be allowed to hire private entities to vet his appointees?
?Why not? As long as it's within budget.
?
3.? Were you surprised by the apparent outcome of the presidential election?- remembering that the actual election doesn't occur?until the electoral college votes?
Ahh, true. But still, ?has ever the electoral college change the outcome?
?
4.? What is the strangest rumor you have heard this election season?
Celeste mentioned pets being eaten. There's a saying in Spanish: "gato por liebre", meaning someone can be fooled (eating a cat instead of a wild rabbit). Also, there used to be rumors that chinese restaurants used rats and cats instead of chicken and beef. ?But what does any of it have to do with the elections?
?
5.? Do you expect major unrest after the election?
Not withing the US regarding politics. The rest of the world... we have other issues.

Hi, Anabel!

1) Mirriam Webster online mentions nationalism in the definition of fascism.

2) (Now-) President Trump mentioned during an interview or debate a then-popular rumor that Haitian?refugees in Pennsylvania were eating small pets. This, if true (it was never substantiated), would have been a very serious breach of US hospitality.

Good hearing from you again!

"Facismo" no es m¨¢s que una palabra que suena "educada" para "gente a la que detestamos profundamente". ?Tire su diccionario. ?Hoy en d¨ªa, las palabras se utilizan para significar lo que el usuario quiere que signifiquen. ?La traducci¨®n siempre es necesaria cuando se vive fuera de la burbuja de los usuarios.

Read the constitution!

I actually read it in the doctors office yesterday - and gave my pocket copy to the medical assistant who knew very litte but was curious.

The popular vote has nothing to do the the presidential election - which has not happened yet.

And the Haitians were not there illegally. That was the other part of that false rumor. The Haitians went there because there was work available for them.

  • 1.? What is a fascist?
    Celeste mentioned a nationalist aspect, and considering the original politics that made it popular before wwii, it would seem so. However, checking the RAE (Spanish Royal Academy, the main authority on spanish language), it says:

1. m. Movimiento pol¨ªtico y social de car¨¢cter totalitario que se desarroll¨® en Italia en la primera mitad del siglo XX, y que se caracterizaba por el corporativismo y la exaltaci¨®n nacionalista.
2. m. Doctrina del fascismo italiano y de los movimientos pol¨ªticos similares surgidos en otros pa¨ªses.
3. m. Actitud autoritaria y antidemocr¨¢tica que socialmente se considera relacionada con el fascismo.
Sin.:?autoritarismo, totalitarismo, dictadura.
Ant.: antifascismo.

? ? It has no mention of nationalism. ?Why would that be?
?
2.? Should a new president be allowed to hire private entities to vet his appointees?
?Why not? As long as it's within budget.
?
3.? Were you surprised by the apparent outcome of the presidential election?- remembering that the actual election doesn't occur?until the electoral college votes?
Ahh, true. But still, ?has ever the electoral college change the outcome?
?
4.? What is the strangest rumor you have heard this election season?
Celeste mentioned pets being eaten. There's a saying in Spanish: "gato por liebre", meaning someone can be fooled (eating a cat instead of a wild rabbit). Also, there used to be rumors that chinese restaurants used rats and cats instead of chicken and beef. ?But what does any of it have to do with the elections?
?
5.? Do you expect major unrest after the election?
Not withing the US regarding politics. The rest of the world... we have other issues.

1.? What is a fascist?
Fascism is a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual. It is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition. This is exactly what Donald Trump proposes.

2.? Should a new president be allowed to hire private entities to vet his appointees?
Only if the new president pays for it and no government subsidy is allowed.

Yes. Many people were fooled.

They were brought it en mass to a small community - they overran the commujity services available.? The number whould have been limited to something like one percent of the original population instead of 35%..? And what kind of work was available - were they taking those jobs and what happened to locals who would have been available.

And the Haitians were not there illegally. That was the other part of that false rumor. The Haitians went there because there was work available for them.

There is an abundance of jobs in Springfield because a bunch of new companies moved there and opened facilities. So they needed the added population as workers.

Thank you, all, for the replies and comments. Certainly then similar words have different meanings and implications in different cultures.?

It is unfortunate (to say the least) when a candidate that has much chance of becoming a strong presidential authority seems unreliable on their public words and expressions using eithe falsehoods or unsubstantiated rumors. We've had our more than acceptable share of that over the years, to the point of a special private web being created as fact checkers:??(btw, one the creators and current owner is a local mensa).

Ref turning elections by the ellectoral college, thak you, Celeste. I see that in those cases were the result was changed, both candidats were pretty even (still it seems a political negotation took place: the less voted parties will ally themselves giving the second candidate a winning chance).?
In Argentina we had ellectoral college on and off until 1994, and since then a direct voting system was implemented (not that is guarantees truthfulness in popular will, but that's another story).

There was a saying an old professor of mine used to say: to the Usian their best interest is a winning democrat, but for LA it's republican. Of course, neither leftists nor conservatives would agree.?

I believe that Trump, with the "make america great again" will work to create a new cold war, in coincidence with Russia and China. It might have some value for usians. But it's not good for the rest of the world.

The "winner" did not lose anything; in 2000 and 2016, no candidate had the majority of the vote.? The Democrats only had a plurality.? Look at it this way: if three candidates all had about the same votes, but one had 34%, he would not be the "winner," almost 2/3 would have voted for someone else.
