Fascism originated in Italy by Benito Mussolini who bears a scary resemblance to Our President in his stance, his gestures and persona. The definition of Fascism is super nationalism and the merger of big government ,big business, and big religion.
Dead wrong on all counts.
Fascism defined:
A way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government. Very harsh control or authority.
Here's a few points that were well-defined in both Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany:
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
Supremacy of the Military
Rampant Sexism
Controlled Mass Media
Obsession with National Security
Religion and Government are Intertwined
Corporate Power is Protected
Labor Power is Suppressed
Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fraudulent Elections
Now, you tell me how this "bears a scary resemblance to Our President in his stance, his gestures and persona", because I simply do not see it. And that's 'President Trump' to you, Snowflake.
