Trying to intimidate a prosecutor with a baseball bat is one, dopey. Another is trying to strongarm election officials into manipulating the election results. Another one is gassing protesters for a photo op. There are multiple examples of wanton disregard for the rule of law. When the POTUS does that it’s fascism and turns America into a banana republikkk. Meanwhile I’m dumbfukked floridiotland (ruled by religious zealots):

Clearly, Trump is not a Fascist in the sense of how Hitler rule. But his political philosophy is pretty disgusting and dangerous. First of all, Trump believes in the pursuit of individual self-interest to the extreme. The man has no compassion whatsoever. Life is a transaction for Trump. Everything has its price and all one needs to do is pay the price or make a deal to get what you want. That is to say, money talks and allows one to achieve whatever one wants. I don't know if you are aware of the fact that Trump made a deal with his third wife to get her to stay with him while he was President. Melanie, of course, knew the Trump philosophy of transaction and requested more benefits, money, to remain with him. Not that Melanie is some sort of Angel; she is made precisely for Trump. The USA for Trump exists as a transactional tool that he could wield as his will. That's why he gets so upset when subordinates disagree with him or go against his will, like members of Congress, the Supreme Court, Pence, McConnell and Barr. The danger in all this is that Trump is so wrapped up in his transactional world that he refuses to recognize any other point of view ( outside of his own) except as a betrayal. Trump requires absolute obedience. The ends justify the means for Donald and that's why he got in trouble over the events on 1/6. Now he is imposing his dogmatic followers like the devout, Trumpie, Sdgla to rise up if he is indicted.
