People keep using the word "fascist" however that's incredibly hyperbolic. Conjecture and smears like this really make me disregard much left-wing analysis, seeing that is highly impartial.

I mean lets not kid ourselves. Trump is a fascist.

Also , acting on emotion rather than reason and whipping up extreme sentiments against outsiders are the harbingers of fascism.

That word has been overused to the point where it lost all meaning.

Can you even give a definition without looking it up?

Trump isn't a fascist

* He wants small gov't * He believes in democracy * He does not support ccontinuing costly wars and meddling in other countries affairs * I'm not sure he's suppressed any political groups

Both sides are acting on extreme emotions these days, and on the other side of the coin, the outsiders are people who disagree with liberal policies.
