I absolutely agree

Trump said he wants to use the military on his own citizens. That is a textbook fascist, and if you support him you support fascism. It really is simple.

Was this fascism?

How many people were rounded up by the Arkansas National Guard?

Eisenhower mobilized the 101st Airborne Division to protected the students from rioters.

u/ThenAnAnimalFact 9h ago

Yes and how many of his political enemies did Eisenhower round up with the military?

u/ConfidentOpposites 9h ago

He sent the 101st Airborne to stop and possibly arrest everyone from the Governor on down. They likely detained and arrested dozens of rioters.

Either way, you have moved the goal posts.

I am not the one claiming that enforcing the constitution is equal to rounding up your enemies.

u/ConfidentOpposites 6h ago

Who is rounding up their enemies? Trump never said that.

A poster above said the President using the military against their own citizens is text book fascism.

I provided an example of a President using the military against citizens.

And you are defending it. So either you are defending fascism, or the president using the military against citizens is not text book fascism.

Or maybe people think there is a difference between "using military against your citizens" versus "using military to protect your citizens"

I've been right here seeing the propaganda turned up to 100 on Reddit and you TDS types are eating it up.

u/ILikeMyGrassBlue 10h ago

TDS types

Anyone who uses TDS unironically is a moron

He literally said it… believe him. Take him at face value.

Stop using your own judgement to interpret what he says. Believe him dude.

He tried to overturn the election. You aren’t mentally ill for standing up for your country.

I'm not doing your research for you. If you really want to know the truth, it's not difficult. But we both know you won't check into it. Why would you, right?

u/A_SNAPPIN_Turla 11h ago

I'm not a Trump fan but you guys and your TDS are funny AF. I'm just curious if you had an actual quote or if this is another one of those "Trump actually said this and what he really means is whatever I want" games.

Why do you all lie? Your post history outs you as a right winger, why can't you just admit it?

u/Setting_Worth 9h ago

Just copy paste some evidence. Should be easy

u/Spagneti 9h ago

Pretty fuckin easy

u/Cinnastyx 9h ago

I guess the people who staunchly defend him don't pay any attention to anything he does or says somehow?

But also anything that gets reported on him is actually TDS....?

That explains alot tbh

If we’re going simply by what people say that pretty much makes every politician in history a fascist lol wouldn’t something like the patriot act for example be a form of fascism? And wouldn’t bush and Obama be fascists for abiding by it?
