But not according to some prominent Republicans.The Republicans aren't by any stretch Authoritarian.
“Build the wall, they’re poisoning our precious bodily fluids!”
Just because Ron Paul says something doesn't mean that it is true. Also the clip is from 8 years ago.Ron Paul has stated on a number of occasions, that Trump is Authoritarian
‘I seen thousands of Arabs dancing in streets just like Jagger and Bowie as the towers burned!’They're poisoning the blood.
Derpy derpy derpy do...they're not racist.![]()

he then goes on to say 'I THINK he would take charge, and I'm not looking for someone to take charge of my life". He is not discussing Trump's previous behaviors, merely speculating on what he MIGHT do when he is in office.
So far Trump has certainly not been authoritarian. I would be genuinely impressed if a POTUS was able to be authoritarian during peace time. When Trump was in his first term, he did not suppress political dissidents in an authoritarian manner, centralize executive power in any meaningful way, nor did he restrict or prevent other political parties from running against him in 2020.

He’s trying to stuff some very critical slots with hacks whose only job qualification is being complete tools.He was surrounded by people trying to thwart his authoritarian tendencies.
There's none so blind as those who will not see.
Can you elaborate?1/6/2021
They are yes men. That's their top qualification.He’s trying to stuff some very critical slots with hacks whose only job qualification is being complete tools.
He don’t need no damn generals and senior officials that know how to operate the hammers! He just wants fealty, that’s allThey are yes men. That's their top qualification.

yep thats what libs do when confronted with truth
The Insurrection. Or maybe you thought that was a "peaceful protest".Can you elaborate?
You're funnyyep thats what libs do when confronted with truth
What about the insurrection? And what does it have to do with the Republican party being Neo-Fascist? The insurrection on January 6, which I will concede probably wouldn't have happened if Trump lit a fire under the ass of the participants, was an isolated incident which I am not worried about in the slightest.The Insurrection. Or maybe you thought that was a "peaceful protest".
Your apologism is distressing.
Trump was disputing the 2016 election in 2015, where have you been sleeping?What about the insurrection? And what does it have to do with the Republican party being Neo-Fascist? The insurrection on January 6, which I will concede probably wouldn't have happened if Trump lit a fire under the ass of the participants, was an isolated incident which I am not worried about in the slightest.
I can't see how the incident would indicate the Republican party being Neo-Fascist when insurrectionism is not exclusive to any particular ideology.
Do not mistake me for a Trump apologist, as I do not think he is going to be a particularly good leader (I don't even support a president existing in the USA). I am not defending any actions of Trump or the Republican party in the slightest.
The naughtiness of the US federal government when it comes to overspending is a bipartisan problem, each party has their own specific way of spending money like a schoolgirl at the mall: seeing something you like, then another thing you like, and the next thing you know you are paying for it in credit because you only had 20$ in your wallet.Lets not even get inti the TRILLION he sent to Ukraine!! Meanwhile its all money he had to BORROW!!
Disputing election results with the use of rhetoric is not a characteristic of Fascism or Neo-Fascism. It is closer to being a characteristic of Authoritarianism, which is not the same thing. However, Fascist/ Neo-Fascist societies are Authoritarian/ Totalitarian by nature, so I can see where the misunderstanding stems from.Trump was disputing the 2016 election in 2015, where have you been sleeping?
I think so.
What say you folks?
Wild guess: It's because they're resisting the unhinged batshit Leftist fringe -- and the only groups to historically resist Communism were Nazis and Fascists. Therefore...In what way?
It would be easier to debate you if you would explain why you believe this.

Yeah, I can see why someone would think this and have talked to people who seemed to belive this too.Wild guess: It's because they're resisting the unhinged batshit Leftist fringe -- and the only groups to historically resist Communism were Nazis and Fascists. Therefore...
