US President Donald Trump ramped up his claims to Greenland on Wednesday, saying ahead of a visit by Vice President JD Vance that the United States needed to take control of the Danish island for “international security.”

    I’ll try to explain. Fascism is a complicated thing. Much more complicated than any type of democracy where you plan only for a few years ahead and don’t deal with your mistakes because the next government should do it. And next government just ignores everything and blames the previous one.

    Fascism is based on some ideology. So you need one. No, just forbidding things isn’t fascism. It is idiotism.

    And what do I want to say? Trump and his crew are too dumb to create or adopt any ideology and too incompetent to build fascism. I wouldn’t trust them to build even an outdoor toilet.

    In a few years there will be no more Trump.

      Wtf do you think project 2025 is? Do you think all the professors telling us this is textbook fascism are wrong? Are you seriously that full of yourself, that you think the people who study this are mistaken?

        While I think @Lemmist is much too optimistic, I can’t help the feeling that these people will still trip over their own feet at some point. Their staff consists with second-rate, reality-ignoring sycophants and you just can’t keep reality at bay forever.

          Maybe not, but you can certainly stand up a fascist state with it, even if it doesn’t last forever. Alternatively, the people in the wings of Trumps admin pulling the strings, will put competent christiofascists in charge once he’s gone. They do have a large playback afterall.

      Who do you think is pulling his strings? The people who will be left in charge when the useful idiot isn’t useful anymore, the fascists. Trump is just the mouthpiece, the current face, he’s not the one in charge, he just thinks he is.
