No one knows the political lean of who didn’t vote.

Trump/Musk have announced a plan similar to Argentina where they cut a bunch of public services and refuce the functions of government:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/elon-musk-economy-trump-hardship-b2637850.html

…part of the plan is to crash the economy and cause ‘hardship’… And they’re more than likely going to do a massive transfer of wealth in the process. hedge funds use this tactic all the time, get your money ready, collapse a stock, buy it at a lower price, be wealthier when it returns.

They’re going to do that with the whole economy. They want to own the whole pie.

…I think the people who voted for Trump probably played the bigger part though.

You just listed tactics used on most modern day protests then told me to pay attention?

That’s not proof of fascism. That’s just a Tuesday.

Like I hate the guy, but this is a bad proof. He’s a generic corrupt Capitalist politician. It’s a best proof he’s good at trolling the left.

He held the bible for a photo op? That’s your proof he’s tangibly doing fascist actions?

You know a large majority get sworn in on that thing?

It also isn’t anything Trump has actually done. He jokes about being violent or fascist to get attention and goad the left into giving him even more attention - and they fall for it every time. He laughs at them with his supporters about this.

Yeah, that said - I don’t think he’s a fascist yet. I think he’s an extreme Capitalist with a narcissistic personality.

He likes to joke, play, and dance with violent rhetoric to get views and likes. He goads the left into giving him attention, and his supporters find it funny.

So I think he’ll be a more run of the mill candidate than most on the left are claiming. This is because American democracy is already corrupt, already serves mostly the wealthy and bigotted, at the cost of the stupid, poor, vulnerable, and ignorant.

So he won’t be a noteworthy fascist unless there’s a government action results in a mass violence, OR he refuses to leave office.
