If you distain that orange dried out spineless racist hypocritical donkey taint licking money laundering child trafficking dictator that America very stupidly allowed into office for a second term in a row, this is the forum for you. This is up to be a venting spot and a fair chance to talk about things we see happen in real time at the fault of this new administration. I am hoping to compact the conversation into one forum. I feel like we will be seeing posts outside this forum in the years to come under a second Trump administration.

The thing I find the funniest about all of this, is that America has basically become the very thing they "hated". Nazis.
Yuh, sounds extreme, I know, but dude, the way the election-adverstisements were designed, the speeches reeking of populism, and Musk doing the HItler salute (Omg please shut the fuck up, the Roman salute and Hitler salute are the same damn thing, standing for the same goddamn things, and Musk isn't some low-functioning idiot who can't do shit. If he werethat, then he wouldn't have a governmental position, because then he wouldn't be rich. Well, not as rich as know, considering his daddy's diamond mines :33333)
But yk, I'm one to talk, I'm from Austria, and our and our neighbourig countries' governments are no better. The worst thing is, most voters aren't even full on fascists, but are just intrigued by the easy solutions, the right wing parties promise. For those who don't know, that's basically popularism. The problem is, that if those people would think 5 steps ahead, then they would realize that those neither make sense, nor are doing any good.
It's easy to put all the blame on one group of people, currently the most popular to blame are migrants. Especially Middle Eastern ones. It's easier to put all the fault on one group of people, instead of lots of problems, that would take more time and care to handle though, than getting rid of a group of people, and seize power for either 9 years, 40, or 80, if you do your job good.
I hope that everyone who voted for the republicans, AfD, FPÖ or any other right wing party, suffer the consequences. Can't wait when I'll finally see them saying "We didn't know!", "We never wanted him to go this far!", "It wasn't my fault". Reminds of Russians currently actually...fuck them too :)

This is such a real take?? AND YEAH THE DEFENSE OF THE SALUTE IS ACTUALLY WILD?? Also, what's even crazier to me, is that these people are defending it with the account of "ItS tHe RoMaN sAlUtE" which like.. Okay, so lets dive into that, because when I looked, The Roman Salute, was known as the Bellamy Salute, which was used to salute the flag during the pledge; till congress wrote a rule banning it from ever being used in the future to come, as it looked too similar to the one that was commonly used in Nazi Germany, and they did not want to lead to hostility and confusion among others in the world and country. I don't know what to expect, my state overall was technically blue on the map, but about 80% on a civilian level, were red. So I don't know what that means for me socially while for now, legally and medically I am okay to continue.
So far, my rights to transitioning are still protected by my state, but only time will tell what is to come on a bigger scale.

Truly amazing post. You know absolutely nothing about what those words in the title mean. Is dictatorship a fascist oligarchy? Does this make every dictatorship fascist? Is Marxism fascist?? Obviously not; fascism is more bureaucratic, dictatorial than a nation ruled by a small number of elites, which won't beget any particular ideology at all. I seriously hope you don't think fascism is inherently anti-semitic or racist, because you'd be entirely betraying your ignorance on the basics of the ideology; despite you ostensibly lamenting over the "rise" of it. I don't even think there have been genuine self-identified followers of Mussolini or Gentile in nearly a century!
The first fascist presidents were Woodrow Wilson and FDR, who are nothing like Trump. Fascism also is not the same as national socialism. A dictator president will be much more likely to be on the left (you know, like Hitler and Mussolini and FDR and Wilson were) than on the right. I doubt the US will see an equivalent to Franco (is he even a fascist?) any time soon for a variety of reasons; the most important one being that we are mostly a secular nation now.I just hope Trump becomes less statist and cuts taxes but continues his non-interventionist foreign policy. Otherwise I'll go back to praying to my shrine of Murray Rothbard that one day he'll come back and become president. But as far as I'm concerned his big accomplishment is not being Kamala, Bush, or FDR. Saying Trump is a fascist would be like saying a blue jay is a chicken. Like, yeah, they're both birds (as are Trump and Giovanni Gentile both technically statists,) but it would be completely absurd to say that's a better representation of him than saying Obama, Biden, or Bush are fascists.

THANK YOU. i am scared for whats to come in america and i am genuinely appalled by my countries stupidity and how we have bought into all of trumps propaganda. im glad there are other people on this site that feel the same, and honestly its really refreshing to see opinions like these again.
i genuinely cannot comprehend why people support trump and it enrages me just thinking about it.
right-winged politicians have almost complete control over the media now. im sure tiktok has been bought out, and both instagram and facebook are META controlled. its scary stuff.
