Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not all Trump supporters are fascists, but all fascists are Trump supporters.
Not all Trump supporters are fascists, but all of them agree that fascism isn't a deal breaker.
And if you support Trump, you at the very least are ok with fascists. You can judge a person by the company they keep...
Pretty sure you've got that backwards.
And I venture to argue that because of the way politicians want to maintain their voterbases, it pushes his politics further and further into fascism.
So is that the new thing with you guys? You inject “tankies” into every discussion that has nothing to do with them? It’s boring man.
Get a new schtick.
There's basically no right wing chuds here, so they've made a boogieman out of people further to the left then themselves that don't agree with their narrative.
Lol… who’s defending them? I just think it’s funny when people force a topic into a discussion where said topic wasn’t being discussed- as if no one will notice how annoying it is.
I’d say- and have said the same to them when dumb shit is introduced to a conversation that isn’t about their dumb shit.
Hmmmm... I'd argue against them being communists, rather they are what I'd like to call "communist party buorgeoisie".
The North Korean System has much in common with fascism. But I don't know if I'd call them fascists.
For sure they are evil authoritarian goons, but fascism is more than that, because on top of being build on authoritarianism, nationalism, militarism and often racism, it is also expansionist, anti-liberal, anti-communist and anti-socialist, it is overwhelmingly corporatist, placed firmly in the spectrum of the right. And - in a surprising twist - anti-conservative in it's revolutionary mindset.
North Korea for one is clearly left-nationalist authoritarian. I'd even go so far as to call it a Stalinist system. It is anything but corporatist except where it is necessarily subservient to China.
China on the other hand has left its communist days behind and has become a major capitalist player on the world stage, creating an export-focused capitalist society with strong corporatist economy. And holy shit, if China isn't chauvinist expansionist I don't know who qualifies... So yes, they can likely be classified as fascists.
