Common themes among fascist movements include: nationalism (including racial nationalism), hierarchy and elitism, militarism, masculinity, and quasi-religion. Other aspects of fascism such as its "myth of decadence", anti-egalitarianism and totalitarianism can be seen to originate from these ideas.

Oh the mindless right-wing robot comments are gonna fly today.

Once again the problem with Trump's grassroots populism are the religious extremists that MAGA gives cover to and who attached themselves to Trump and has him singing their tune. Without these religious extremists, or even the religous element, he would appeal to far more people.

Forced births and doing away with contraceptives is not common sense. It goes against Reason.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kandiss Taylor and others identify as Christian Nationalists, which is as bad as Fascism.

The sexy Marlene Seinfeld episode: Ya know, Jerry... I don't know sometimes... The Right appears to view a "democratic system", according to how the Democrats use the term, like with crosses to ward off vampires. I can agree with this, but always depending on context. But I simply can't get a bead on what actual political system would the Right have in place of a "democratic system". I mean other than the obvious Fascism, like with abortion and doing away with contraceptives, and removal of church and state. In other words, how does the Right envision the System as working in the best of all possible worlds?

@triggerwarning5762 -- I take it that you are a charming twit representative of the Fascist mentality.

Fascism is generally defined as a political movement that embraces far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government. Fascists strongly oppose Marxism, liberalism and democracy, and believe the state takes precedence over individual interests.

Fascism is the Extremist Religious Right going state by state to do away with all abortions (no exceptions) and outlawing all contraceptives. Then doing away with church and state and instituting a Christian Taliban state. And they won't stop there.

I missed either CNN's or the FOX News segment about the Republicans wanting to tinker with Social Security. And not for the better.

Would everyone be happier with the spectre of World Fascism? The alignment of Republican support behind autocratic right-wing leaders across the globe long predates Trump’s elevation to the presidency. For years, Republican members of Congress, lobbyists, and political consultants have worked to forge bonds with far-right leaders across Europe—in Hungary, Germany, Austria, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Macedonia, and beyond. You might call this loose federation of fellow travelers for the nativist global right the strongman caucus. Sometimes these alliances have taken shape off the public radar. In other cases, though, U.S. Republicans have paraded their connections to far-right political figures, inviting them to meetings with lawmakers; major conservative events, including the Republican National Convention; gatherings at influential think tanks like the Heritage Foundation; and agenda-setting confabs such as the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Putin-Trump? And people say there's no Russian collusion! 😂 This is why the Right will lie like hell, in order to hide these collusions.

Depends on what format MAGA takes. It hasn't gotten off to a good start by trying to do away with all abortions and contraceptives and having 100% forced birthings. MAGA wants to do away with the separation of church and state and have the country under a Christian totalitarianism, like the extremist Islamic State. Just listen to the crazy up and coming politicians of the Extremist Right. Their shtick isn't just about Muh guns you know.
2
Seriously....what else can you call MAGA but Fascism? You know their extreme positions on anti-abortion and contraception. They idolize the extremist elements of Islam for their ability to keep the women in head-to-toe black Hefty lawn bags. And the whole idea of the Religious Right is to do away with the church and state, and have the country under a Christian totalitarianism.

@Charlemagnetheman -- Texas is.

@Charlemagnetheman -- And...? Was there something else you wanted to add? The Extremist Religious want to do away even with all contraceptives. And even Planned Parenthood, the only 5hing that actually makes sense.

MAGA took away abortion rights. And they want to ban all contraceptives. This is just for openers. They are no innocent players. They want to do away with the separation of church and state. And these people and extremist politicians are MAGA.

@KossoffFan -- Just saying a buzzword does not give me a picture of how the Right would have the country to be. Would it be, say, Fascistic in nature, Constitution and all? Would it be based on the Abraham ice religion for morality? Would the abstract Constitution be enough to convince them to let in all the illegals because "all men are created equal", which is way too abstract, and observation shows this to be a lie anyway.
1
@KossoffFan -- The mere fact that the Founding Fathers believed in a Creator and that the Creator created all men equally is proof enough they got this from the Abrahamic religion. If the FF were truly Enlightened they would have done as the French did and make it clear that religion plays no part in the public life. Religion is at its best when it's kept in churches, synagogues, and mosques. And who said anything against borders? That was the only thing Trump did, or tried to do, that was right.

@sylviam6535 -- Yes, but it depends on which ones are the best. A Fascism of forced births -- no. Doing away with all contraceptives -- no. Racial nationalism -- well, it's too late for that now. The US is a nation divided as against itself because of extolling "diversity". Hierarchy/elitism -- not so good if you're not part of the group. One just gets the crumbs from the table. Quasi-religion -- doesn't sound too good at all. The Nazis had a quasi-religion. Even "Masculiniry" -- ordinarily I'm for it, but not when a female is told she can't go to trade school "because she's a girl".

B-S. Not much more to say.

The mindless right-wing auto robot comments wore itself out for awhile, I see.

Diversity is NOT our strength.

@melisrothstein7827 -- Why not? Putin doesn't hesitate to bomb unarmed civilians, men, women, and children. When his army is on US soil, you and yours won't be spared.

He had no choice. Look at the Religious Extremists have done regarding abortion and doing away with all contraceptives. For openers.
