this blog hates donald trump

Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Firstly, I ask you to meet the second part of my request in explaining how Elon and trump are not (however incompetently) acting totalitarian and how they are not suppressing rights to benefit the state, or in this case the wealthy and the in group.

Explain how arresting Mahmoud Khalil, “a student activist and lead negotiator for the encampment in the 2024 Columbia University pro-Palestinian campus occupations” (which regardless of if you agree with the political movement is allowed within the United States under the first amendment. You do not have to agree with the protest or the cause to recognize all nonviolent protest should be protected if you want to protect some of it), being arrested by ICE is not an attempt to limit free speech and protest, as when upon being informed he was a lawful, permanent, legal resident, ICE, acting on orders from the State Department, said his status as this would be revoked instead (they initially assumed he had a student visa). His legal status within our nation is in danger of being revoked due to his political beliefs, which to my knowledge he never expressed violently.

Explain how disobeying orders from judges to not deport the thousands you have arrested immediately and to allow the people you have detained time and a fair trial as required for every person by the constitution is not authoritarian. Especially when refusing to turn a plane full of people you refuse to even name or identify heading towards a Venezuelan prison, despite the judge’s orders. Judges and a judges orders are not a suggestion, a thing you can ignore when it is inconvenient.

While you may claim that palensteinian support is inherently antisemitic, I must disagree (though I concede SOME people use it as a vessel for their antisemitism) as criticizing a state and its government specifically is not the same as condemning or criticizing an entire people group, even if the state is made entirely or almost entirely of those people. When I criticize the Catholic Church, I am not condemning Catholics, when I criticize the government of Iran and its own human rights violations I am absolutely not condemning the Iranian people. Please understand this distinction, especially in the case of students attempting to end what they see as pointless, genocidal slaughter by specifically the government.

Additionally, I ask you this not to muddy the waters but to have a clear understanding of your own belief and definitions to see if I can help you understand why we call the administration fascist.

My definition is not “some new leftist definition” it is the definition given by Britannica and Wikipedia.

According to Wikipedia, fascism is “a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”

According to Britannica, fascism is (as stated in the second paragraph) “extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.”

Genuinely, may I have a source or backing for you definition if you have one? If you do not that is alright, but I would like to know your source if you do have one.

If you would like I can go through each point of either definition and explain how I believe it aligns with the current administration, but for now this is long enough. If you have read all of this I earnestly thank you and apologize for my long winded nature, I read too many books for my own good.

I’m so mad.

I really wanna send them as reaction images 🐌👍🏼

Here's my current collection so far but it's very sad

hey wait! i know you! we used to be chained next to each other in the cave! wow, so good to see you, how are ya? man. remember how we used to talk about the shadows on the wall together. gosh that was a long time ago. but hey. sure is one heck of a sun out here, right? it's good to see you.

Also if you would like an example of how the current administration is fascist according to your definition, here. As mentioned (somewhat briefly) in my original reblog, Trump and ICE under him has been revoking the rights to a fair trial to illegal immigrants and immigrants in general, despite judges’ orders and that right being for every person per the constitution.

Additionally, the White House and other government organizations (eg NASA) have been taking down webpages across their webpages. For example, on the official White House page the Constitution itself was not available for a long period and pages about women’s and POC’s historic contributions to NASA, an important part of history set aside in a webpage to make it easier to access and learn about as these contributions were and are often ignored, have been taken off of the website. Libraries are being threatened to be shut down for being a “waste of money and space” despite proving an essential service as a free space for all to have access to education, reading, amenities such as printing or watching movies, or even just as a space for teens to hang out without paying or being in danger.

I feel the merging of corporations and state is obvious in present America with lobbyist groups pouring money into politicians and the richest man in the world (who quite literally has done the nazi salute and reposted and retweeted neonazi rhetoric) funding and standing as the right hand to our president and his lackies. I will be honest though, while I agree with this part of the definition, I feel a bit confused on where you got it from. I would genuinely love to learn more about this part and any merging of corporations and state that may have happened within Germany or Italy during That Time.
