Have you really missed the last year of presidential election propaganda here, especially the last month in the run up to the election, as well as the relentless "it's all the fault of those who didn't vote Kamala" memes since!???

I mean, some people were setting up filters to exclude anything with the words "Trump", "Kamala", "Democrat" and "Republican" to get a little respite from the relentless bombardment of political messages and none of that messaging had the Republican-spin.

I'm not saying they're the majority here, but there are certainly lots of them and they're pretty loud.

Also if you notice the voting on my point above that "Trump is not like Hitler, he's more like Mussolini" anchored on him so far not having shown warmongering tendencies even in his last presidency, which is not at all denying his authoritarian tendencies or ability to cause damage to the US, there's a lot of knee jerk reaction negative voting on it (and so far, not a single counter argument, and that includes your post which is all about something I did not wrote in my post), and that's just basically a point on how we should be precise when classifying fascists rather than go into a blind panic fed by hyperbolic alarmism from politically motivated sources - in other words, I'm defending Skepticism (know your sources and suspect those with an interest in forming other people's opinions) and Analytical Thinking (ponder on things rather than rush to the most emotionally appealing conclusion).

"He's a far-right authoritarian fascism in the vein of Mussolini but judging by his track record is unlikely to start WWIII or start mass murdering people based on their ethnicity so is not like Hitler" is just using one's brain in a cold pondered way and hardly amounts to an endorsement of the guy.
