It's just standard procedure, shout fascist/racist/Nazi and beat chest in victory because you're a good guy apparently. But yes go for it explain to me how the guy who got milkshaked is a Nazi.

Trump supporters are generally fascist because they support the authoritarian expansion of the executive office, subscribe to nationalism to the point where you think they're compensating for something, and demonize opposing views. This obviously goes for many other Americans, but it stands out with Trump supporters because of their immigration stances being driven by white paranoia over losing majority in America.

The claim that overusing a word takes away its meaning is bull****. If you're genuinely losing your understanding of fascism because someone is using the term in a way that you don't agree with, then that's on you.

Not just fascist though, that woman was screaming “Nazi” in his face.

That doesn't explain how the guy in the video is a Nazi.

That's because Nazism is a specific movement of fascism and you're already so confused with this terminology, so I only went into the fascist element.

No argument provided. Third time lucky?

Frownland 06-09-2019 08:58 AM

Did my explanation of how Trump supporters are fascists not suffice?

Cuthbert 06-09-2019 09:02 AM

"Trump supporters are generally fascists" isn't an explanation of how that man who got milkshaked is a Nazi.

That's because, as I've already mentioned, Nazism is a specific form of fascism. I was responding to this:
