    Which government policies center on a person’s race? Which policies are based in bigotry? Can you provide a definition for bigotry? And define fascist.

      People call MAGA fascist because fascism usually involves:

      • extreme nationalism, which is obvious with trump
      • totalitarianism, which is also obvious. Trump is not seeking to work within a system of checks and balances — he’s seeking total power; he is the law, he cannot break the law, etc
      • anti-democratic stances, which is also obvious given hints at “king”, third term, etc
      • suppression of opposition, given how everyone who doesn’t agree is getting fired and how he’s signing executive order after executive order in an attempt to cement MAGA ideals and enact project 2025
      • overt flaunting of power or military strength as a negotiation tactic; again obvious with tariff threats etc
