    Is Trump a fascist to you, and if so why did you help him get elected? Do you think when you censor other people online and berate them, especially when they want progressive policies and peace, that it somehow helps you?

        No, you’re referring to being butthurt because some of your posts got deleted which means fascism. Which is such a privileged position that I am honestly astounded.

        Again, I ask…

        Do you think when you censor other people online and berate them, especially when they want progressive policies and peace, that it somehow helps you?

        You indicate that Trumpism is fascism. The concept of attacking people that help you because they’re not blindly loyal is one of the elements of fascism in the link you posted, and one of the reasons Kamala lost. Are you saying you never did that? That you welcomed third parties and showed them that you were willing to push for Kamala to change her positions up until the election?

          Are you saying you never did that?

          You tell me. You are the one pointing the finger. Show your evidence. Or was it a lie?

          That you welcomed third parties and showed them that you were willing to push for Kamala to change her positions up until the election?

          Why is that my job? I was not part of her campaign and I am not a member of her party.

          Now, let’s see your evidence.

            Why are you even bothering to respond at all then? Why claim that I’m butthurt that comments were removed and privileged for saying that Democrats also lean towards fascism?

                I see question marks, not statements about you. Do you need a Wikipedia link that explains question marks?

                  Yes. You did use a question mark here.

                  Is Trump a fascist to you, and if so why did you help him get elected?

                  That is what is known as one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question

                  Because you are, within that loaded question, accusing me of helping Trump get elected. Which is a lie.

                  So I guess this would be lie #3.

                    If you’re not American, and played no role in inorganically trying to elevate Democrats by attacking others for pointing out or diminishing Kamala’s alignment with the neocons, genocidal support and pro-establishment messaging, then I’m sorry. My intention isn’t to lie about anyone and would be no better than what I want to fight against.
