Been voting conservative since my first presidential election in 1944
(Dewey) and I was mortified that anyone at all supported Trump.

I was also shocked some cousins on my father's side supported
Mussolini throughout the 30's and some on my mother's side supported
Hitler, apparently until the end of the war, two of which were in the
Waffen-SS.

I guess I am overly sensitive and resistant to fascism / fascists /
totalitarians.


Perhaps you're over compensating?

No honey, I stopped "over compensating" for fascism / statism mid
August 1945.

Now, I just recognize it when I see it and try to stop it before it
takes root, e.g. Donald Trump.


yep, that's why I voted for Trump, not Hillery, too.

I don't understand his definition of fascism.

That is only because you do not understand fascism.


Well, I've read about both, but obviously I interpret the information
differently from you and don't see Trump as being either.

I want to understand why you see him that way.

I already explained "why" I see him that way.


You gave me a generalized answer ... more or less because of your own
personal experiences. I've no way of understanding why you equate Trump
with fascism solely based on what you just said.

I don't see Trump as being a Mussolini, Hitler, totalitarian, or any
other form of dictator. I don't know what he's done to make you believe
that he is.


Thanks for sharing.


I'm giving you the opportunity to change my mind and explain to me what
about Trump makes him fascist. It obviously means a great deal to you,
so I want to understand.
