these shortsided dipshit liberals gleefully talking about Trump’s plans to create a “MAGA party” in the US because it will split the conservative vote… you do not want an established fascist party you do not want an established fascist party you do not want an established fascist party

To all the people responding to this saying that America already has one (or two) fascist party(ies): I get where you’re coming from, but neither the democrats nor the republicans are fascist. They’re reactionary, white supremacist and imperialist, and many of their policies are proto-fascist, but neither are themselves fascist (nor are those policies inherently fascist ones). Neither neoliberalism nor neoconservatism are fascism. They’re both ideologically rooted in liberal democracy. They are, if anything, fascist precursors - fascism itself will rise as a response to the “corruption of liberal democracy”.

This is why a MAGA party would be so dangerous. I don’t think even Trump is a fascist, I don’t think any oncoming fascist wave will truly center around him, but this ugly mix of right-wing grift and salving his wounded ego would act like a lightning rod, tempering an explicitly right-wing nationalist movement reacting against “the establishment”. If you’ve studied fascism, you know how dangerous this is.
