Donald Trump is a Fascist

"So, who are the actual 'fascists'?"

Donald Trump is a Fascist.

You can tell by the way Trump has rigged multiple presidential elections in order to cling to power.

Trump ordered the FBI to spy on his campaign opponents based on Russian disinformation.

He unleashed the full power of the deep state to persecute his political opponents based on the lie they were engaged in foreign collusion.

He undermined his successor's administration for years by launching a Special Counsel investigation, which led to there being no evidence of a crime.

Trump turned the press loose to attack his enemies and he bombarded them with 95% negative media coverage.

Then Trump fabricated countless hoaxes. He took quotes out of context to make his opponents look racist. He compared people to Hitler based on unverifiable sources. He said they disgraced fallen soldiers. There was no end to the absurd falsehoods he spread about those who opposed him.

Although nobody could verify any of these accusations, he still repeated these Big Lies over and over again. And the media dutifully repeated them until people believed they were true.

When his critics tried to fight back, he censored them. He de-platformed them across the media landscape. He got them demonetized so they couldn't make a living. He got Big Tech to rig social platforms so that their views were suppressed.

Trump organized "fact checkers" to call his opponents' fair and accurate statements "misinformation." He went so far as to claim that their criticism was "disinformation" and that all of his documented scandals were "conspiracy theories."

Trump spent hundreds of millions in an election to put drop boxes in heavy Republican areas. He got election laws unconstitutionally changed so that they favored him. He made sure there were tens of millions of impossible-to-trace ballots that flooded the polls. And then he miraculously pulled off a number of razor-thin victories in the early hours of the morning in multiple swing states.

Trump's victory defied all odds. He had not run an actual campaign and had won despite having lost historic bellwether counties across America that had been election indicators for nearly a century.

When his opponents cried foul, he called them a "threat to democracy." He ensured that judges wouldn't even hear the election challenges based on the merits. Then, the media obediently said there was "no evidence" of the election being rigged.

After that, Trump made sure there was no security at the Electoral College despite warnings that there would be riots. When the election objections started being heard in Congress, a violent mob conveniently attacked the capitol to disrupt them.

He got his political opponent mass de-platformed in a coordinated takedown after they called for peace.

When the election was certified, his opponent graciously said he would immediately step down on January 20. Nevertheless, Trump tried to get his opponent thrown out of office. He brought impeachment charges against him based on a cherry-picked political narrative.

When that didn't work, he launched a massive lawfare campaign against his opponent. He got state laws changed to bring damaging civil lawsuits that cost him tens of millions of dollars. He tried to illegally get his campaign rival removed from state ballots and banned from becoming president under the 14th Amendment. He got the White House to collude with state prosecutors in New York and Georgia to have his opponent and his followers imprisoned. He had them blamed for an attack on the capitol to stop them from running for office ever again.

Then he joked and laughed about having his political opponent "jailed."

Trump sent an FBI raid to his opponent's home. Federal law enforcement even ransacked the former First Lady's underwear drawers. This raid was authorized despite the president being guilty of the very same crime, which was not prosecuted because he got the special prosecutor to say he was too mentally unfit to stand trial.

And when that didn't work, Trump threatened to take away his opponent's Secret Service protection if he were ever to be convicted, which was tantamount to issuing a death threat.

Then the Secret Service protection was actually weakened and his opponent was subjected to multiple assassination attempts. The first attempt resulted in him getting an ear wound that was inches away from killing him. The second attempt came weeks afterwards, despite assurances that Secret Service protection was being enhanced.

His administration then stonewalled the assassination investigations, and the FBI refused to say what had motivated the shooters who tried to kill his opponent, although the shooters were known to be donors to activist Republican causes.

Despite promises to turn down the rhetoric, Trump actually escalated his accusations against his opponents, despite the multiple assassination attempts. He compared them to Hitler, Mussolini, and Chairman Mao. He accused them of wanting to end democracy in America for good.

He also orchestrated an undemocratic party "coup" after the primaries in order to get his preferred candidate on the ballot in the upcoming election.

Trump was responsible for the biggest election interference campaign in U.S. history, while accusing his opponent of being a "threat to democracy."

Actually, on second thought, these aren't the actions of Donald Trump. They are things that Trump's political enemies did to him.

So, who are the actual "fascists"?
