How [redacted] dare these Bernie fanboys show up to a peaceful Trump rally event only to cause disruptions and harass and attack Trump supporters?
Truly disgusting behavior. Sad!
The hypocrisy when liberals shun classic liberal values by trying to silence others' opinions! The true fascists are on the left, like these gross Bernie fanboys.
I should note that it is hilarious that you define yourself as a male feminist in your profile and yet you support a party that repeatedly fought to repress womens' rights throughout its entire history, and continues to do so this very day.
Im not going to write an essay here because im not autistic and dont even like Trump, but if you think socialism works you should really look at the world right now b-but muh norway
Continuing 3) minimal social mobilization most often caused by constraints on the public like suppression of political opponents and anti-regime activity
His rhetoric supporting the assault of political protesters. Again, you can deny this is happening but there are video clips of him inciting violence numerous times.
4) informally defined executive power with often vague and shifting powers
Due to his lack of legal knowledge and his clear appeal towards being a "strongman", with his domineering attitude and approach to negotiations, it would not surprise me if he has or will support extending the executive office to grasp more power
Regarding 1) limited political pluralism; that is, such regimes place constraints on political institutions and groups like legislatures, political parties and interest groups
He has repeatedly used language that has been reflective in American neo-con authoritarian movements regarding the restriction of personal rights advocacies (Planned Parenthood), environmental protection agencies, and the preservation of WASP principles in favor of restricting the rights of non-WASPs
2) a basis for legitimacy based on emotion, especially the identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat "easily recognizable societal problems" such as underdevelopment or insurgency
His rhetoric is straight-up an emotional appeal on the back of latent racism. If you fail to recognize this then I'm not sure how to help you.
Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms.

Have I used the word fascist? No I don't believe I did. In fact I took pains to establish that there is a difference between authoritarian nationalism and fascism.
But you're not being intellectually honest in this discussion, you just want to keep throwing around buzzwords like you have the high ground here.
He's an authoritarian nationalist, which is what most people mistakenly conflate with fascism due to their varying similarities.

How do Americans tag behind politicians with such verve? I don't think I've ever seen anyone wave a pro-Cameron placard while chanting a Tory slogan, forget a stadium full of them.
his site clearly defines what his presidency would aim to do.
yes, he 'incited violence'. These idiot Bernie-bots shouldn't have gone to his rallies then. The evidence shows that the Bernie-bots were the ones blocking ambulances from entering the building. Trump supporters were harassed and attacked. If anything, this has made me support Trump even more. I have yet to see Bernie "disavow" a Bernie-bot for nearly attacking and spitting all over Trump at a public event.
