Charlie Kirk shot at an event in Utah

Authoritarianism 

The right fears that America is sliding towards socialist policies because of Democratic leadership 

Trump was elected to pull us back from the grip of Communism or Marxism

Since we've moved so far left, he'll have to overcompensate to restore balance

A strong leader to bring the left to its knees

That's what you voted for

It's not a fear...

We wanted someone with a pair of  balls (that would be the alpha part) to stand up to all the dumb shit that was going on. Sorry you don't like alphas sounds like a personal hang up not really anything to do with Charlie's death or was he too alpha?

You picked Trump to be your alpha?

The silver spoon brat who can't stop staring at his own reflection for 2 seconds?

Who decorated the Oval Office with Home Depot bling?

Some alpha

I'm trying to picture Trump in a scenario that would require a true alpha who knows how to survive... like an apocalypse 

He wouldn't stand a chance

[DBCowboy]

Trump is a symbolic "alpha" father figure

A narcissist who's in love with his own image

You wanted a Stern daddy to restore law and order

He represents Authority

That's what you wanted 

Authoritarian rule

And the opposing side is pro crime.

You have some crystal ball over there, but I wouldn't quit your day job just yet.

First -- thank you for bringing a more fun and interesting approach.

The "finger pointing blame game" has gotten really old and tired.

And I agree with you.  The blinders need to come off to who actually is fascist.

[Ignorant]

Many people in this thread seem confused about the meaning of fascism. Imagine the mental gymnastics someone would have to be going through to reach the conclusion that fascism, a far-right ideology, is represented not only by "the left" but even by antifa, literally "anti-fascist". It makes me worry for the future of America and by extension democracy. Because it's clear that a true fascist would have absolutely no trouble convincing these people that they are fighting the good fight while slowly but surely establishing authoritarian rule.

The subject probably warrants its own thread, but I don't expect anyone would respond to it, as is traditional here when there are attempts to talk about political ideology with any kind of depth. So I'm not spending time making one.
