And keep going, there is Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas and on and on and on. In fact, just about any town over 50K will be run by Democrats whereas you cons live in the sticks and in all the abandoned towns that litter the country like so much garbage just about wherever we go. Do you call that a success story? Living off SS or survivor benefits plus Medicare/Medicaid. I live in Texas, I know exactly what you cons consider a success story. There are just as many of you living off the government throughout the South as you will find in all the big cities that you pointed your crooked little finger at. You cons aren't the success story you think you are. Southern states take more in taxes than they pay so they are the very definition of living off government...but hey, you go ahead and tell us how horrible the big cities are...

Huh? Did you stick your finger in a wall socket? What does this have to do with Trump's fundraising endeavors or are you simply trying to deflect from that immoral piece of shit you people want for president?

Nice. There is nothing that Trump won't hawk for a buck. Golden Halos isn't past him and his followers so gullible they will buy anything that he sells...

I could go on & on, PeterS, but these broadsides are just caricatures and straw men that you & your fellow ideologues like to build up and assign to us. Neither you nor any of them are worth it.
You could keep going on? If we liberals are both communists and fascists how is it you cons came out so squeaky clean? And since you insist on following a fascist I would suggest that you haven't managed to avoid your fascist tendencies, have you?
And an ideologue insists they are right even though they've been shown evidence that they are wrong. Well, I've shown you evidence that you are wrong and you keep insisting that you are right. That would make you the ideologue, not me so at least correct your rhetoric.
As for your evidence...you've shown total disregard for the time period. During the 20's socialism was popular. But you have to remember that Communists and Socialists were on Hitler's hate list along with liberals and intellectuals of all stripes. That very much puts him on the Right, not the Left, as you insist on placing him. All you've done is go through and cherry-pick the bits and pieces that you want to believe and nothing more. It doesn't matter that Mussolini in his own words said that Fascism is a right-wing ideology. No, what matters to you is that you can cherry-pick bits and pieces to link him to Lenin as if that's all it takes to be a liberal! Oh yeah, and Hitler liked FDR. Boy, that bit of hyperbole certainly makes an airtight case, doesn't it?

Every last one of those fourteen characteristics apply to liberalism and have right since its inception. I’ve experienced them myself in college in the 1960s. They were bomb throwers even back then.
You don't know your ideology and the party that it created do you! Trump is the one who was boasting about Nationalism along with its uber patriotism in no way fits any liberal I ever met. And you are telling me you went to college? I don't believe it. You are too ignorant to have had any education, college or otherwise. I would be surprised if you finished high school.
I've done all I can. Pick up a book on ideology--any book--why don't you and read who you actually are. And if you did go to college and left not knowing what your ideology was then it was a complete waste of every penny you or your parents spent.

Trash? Name any of the 14 characteristics of fascism that is also a characteristic of liberalism. How about Nationalism and Militarism? Are we liberals known for being uber-patriotic and can't get enough military? Are we always wanting to intermingle our Christian faith with the government? Boy, none of that separation of church and state for us. Is that what you're trying to say?
As I said, this is 100% about ideology. Yes, communism is a leftist idea and we could go there if we don't put a check on it. This is what you don't get. We know that. And because we know that we can stop it from happening? So how are you going to stop fascism from happening? Not by denying that it's a characteristic of your ideology. You can't stop something bad from happening when you think it is always the other guy who's responsible for everything bad.

Fascism was initiated by Benito Mussolini. Along with Vladimir Lenin he was a darling of the progressives of the early twentieth century. A group of them took trips to the Soviet Union and came gushing about them. I believe they also went to Italy. to progressives they were both pioneers of the movement.
Mussolini had been a socialist. You can look it up.

Okay so I looked it up.
Snip>>>In the 1920s, Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile described their ideology as right-wing in the political essay The Doctrine of Fascism, stating: "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right,' a fascist century."
And I couldn't find a connection between Mussolini and Lenin but there was between Stalin: Similarities: • Both opposed liberalism; supported powerful government institutions • Gained support in the post-WWI period, directly benefitting from instability and societal unrest caused by the aftermath of the war Fundamental Difference: Mussolini founded an ideology and a movement with himself as the leader; ... (Authoritarianism)
Then there was Hitler who persecuted Jews, Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Intellectuals, homosexuals, and anyone who wasn't part of the Arian Right.
Lastly the characteristic of Fascism and Conservatism are virtually the same:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
6. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
As I said, this is about Ideology. Liberalism can lead to Communism. Conservatism WILL lead to Fascism if you don't put the breaks on what you are doing...

Why?
Why?
Why do White Nationalists and other fascists endorse Trump?
And in case you don't understand why or want to deny it, it's called ideology. Communism is a product of liberalism whereas fascism is a product of conservatism. The difference between us is that Liberals understand that communism is a product of their ideology so know to avoid it. Not so with you conservatives who deny that fascism is an RW ideology and instead try to assign it to liberalism even though when you look at the characteristics of fascism they are identical to characteristics of conservatism.
You can't avoid the worst that your ideology has to offer by trying to pin it on the other guy.

What is worse is that Trump is the one who posted the picture of Biden on Truth Social. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand that. It's stunts like that that remind us why he's 'former' president Trump...

Well, turncoats to you is simply integrity to others. That they saw through Trump's lies only shows how morally depleted and gullible his MAGA morons are and nothing more. And 'rats in a garbage dump' is an apt metaphor for the mindless morons that make up Trump followers. That you have trouble rubbing two brain cells together only shows what an addiction to Fox News does to their followers. You are what happens when someone is told what they want to hear instead of the truth.
