Recent TV shows got super-busy with an odd topic: two ex-military leaders saying their old commander-in-chief has dictator-like traits
Mark Milley and John Kelly – both big-deal ex-generals who worked close with the ex-president – made some eye-catching statements. Kelly pointed out how his ex-boss fits into fascism box: “far-right stuff control-loving leader who likes dictators; he told me once that Hitler wasnt all-bad“
Well looking at the definition of fascism: Its a far-right authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader centralized autocracy militarism forcible suppression of opposition belief in a natural social hierarchy
Pro-trump folks tried to fight back but didnt do great. Lindsey Graham made a weird point on ABC saying its not cool to use f-word so close to voting time; while J.D. Vance got stuck trying to explain away some tricky comments about “enemy within“
A big party at Madison Square Garden (same place where some not-nice stuff happened back in 39) showed what might come next. Stephen Miller said stuff that sounds like old KKK talks‚ and the whole thing had lots of mean words about different groups of people
- anti-Black comments
- anti-Palestinian words
- anti-Jewish statements
- anti-women talk
New polls show something weird: about 1/8 of Republicans think their guy is fascist-like but some gonna vote for him anyway. Its not just politics anymore – its about picking between normal USA rules or giving lots of power to someone who really likes strong-arm leadership style
