depends on how many boxes you check
Trump is doing a good job a checking as many as he can
what are the boxes?
rejection of democracy
arch-individualist
Far-right populism
attacking the media to the point when I have a convo with a conservative and send them an article from a page they don't like they will ignore it
attacking freedom of the press
attacking freedom of speech
"wut? no fascism is putting 'us' at the top of power" Isnt that what the left does? Defining "us" as the working class?
ideally 'working class' would be everyone. But normally it would be a group of people. Also we could add taking away right from minorities to that list above
oh and another good example of giving up on something when it isn't working for you would be Row V Wade for example. That one they are trying to stack the courts for. I thought they loved the consitiution
arch-individualist? Fascism isnt individualist at all. Its all about improving the position of a group/people and everyone even members of that group that stand in the way of this will dealt with in an unkind manner.
What rights has Trump taken away from minorities?
They do love the constitution which is why they want it enforced by stacking the courts with originalists who actually enforce it.
the constitution was meant to be changed
I'll give you the arch individualist one
that was bad
With amendments not by appointing liberal justices. Also you are undermining your previous point. If the constitution was ment to be changed conservatives would be acting accordingly by stacking courts.
and taking away right yes I agree. But also the stacking the courts goes back to my anti democratic statement earlier
obama was blocked by republicans and couldn't fill the seat in the house
removing special protections for transgender people is not taking away their rights. You dont have a right to special treatment just because you claim to be the oposite gender. By removing these protections they are operating by the same rules as all other people. That doesnt sound like its so terrible.
I won't into how anti science that statement was we can go over that later.
Senate republicans dont have to confirm a justice they dont like, just as democrats wanted to block trumps nominees. Nothing wrong with that.
yes
also they didn't even call a vote btw
they should have
they blocked the vote
exactly
but they should not have confirmed if they didnt want to
ok back on the protections of minorities should we protect remove all protected classes
the reason for blocking the vote was dumb
yes
the reason was for a right leaning justice. Obama even game them a hard centrist
and they still said no
what do you think will happen to southern states if we remove minority protections
replacing a originalist with a centrist (we probably disagree on what a centrist is), come on. When RBG dies you will probably not be fine with republicans nominating a "hard centrist"
just don't take rights away from people then I probably don't care
you dont have a right to be thought of highly by other people, you dont have a right to be employed by anyone and you dont have a right to be respected or accepted in anyones community
"what do you think will happen to southern states if we remove minority protections" - nothing, you really think people cant be racist in their hiring now?
sure, as long as that discrimination is not on the basis of the protected classes
they can be but if found out they will have a problem on their hands
no they will just find other reasons to fire someone now, if you really wanna fire someone for being black or white or whatever you can always find a legitimate reason if you just look hard enough
then why care if it in law if you believe that
