You know if Trump does somehow does win, the shocked and surprised picachu faces on posters pushing pro trump wedge in the Gaza thread will be something to behold come 2025
You can bet his first course of action would be to “pull back US troops guarding the ugly Biden pier in Gaza” and bomb it or something
Followed by ultimatum to the Palestinians that they won’t get an ounce of aid from US unless the whole of the Gaza coast is signed over to the Trump family criminal enterprise to develop “Trump Mediterranean Resort ^TM”
They don't give a **** about Gaza. It's a stick to beat Biden with and nothing more. The US MAGA loons would probably be happy to fund concentration camps there, honestly.
The fake concern about actual genocide is the epitome of bad faith.
There have long been allegations that he is addicted to Adderall which is an amphetamine typically used to treat things like Narcolepsy and ADHD but if you don't have those conditions it's an upper and because of rampant over-prescription for ADHD use in the US it became the upper of choice for teenagers/students.
The claims about Trumps adderall usage came from a number of people in and around the production of "The Apprentice" saying that he used it heavily.
Side effects of heavy Adderall use include Insomnia , Paranoia, Psychosis and incontinence/diarrhea which all play into the Trump "persona", including the alleged nappy wearing.
Thanks. Didn't want to read too much as I have a visual mind but… yeah. This checks out.
there’s also the reports about drugs being given out like candy in his White House by the onsite pharmacy. Very credible reports too:

If I worked in the Trump Whitehouse I'd need a steady supply of Xanax as well.
Can anyone actually point to 3 policies that Trump is running on that are "fascist"?
Not rhetoric or his attitude toward the current cases against him, but actual political policies that he would implement should he become president.
There ya go
That's a link.
I want to focus on very specific policies that people consider "fascist".
Not "right-wing", but actual fascism.
perhaps you should read it.
I think my point is already starting to be proven.
People cannot identify 3 political policies that are examples of fascism.
As if.
nobody is going to read it and do your thinking for you. you probably wont read this either but it lays out what his plans are
https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-5-step-fascist-plan
Can anyone point to any concrete trump policies at all, he doesn’t seem to have any policies except for keeping himself out of prison and lining the pockets of his criminal family enterprise
Fill yer boots.
Not necessarily "Facist" per se , but certainly hateful, divisive ,damaging and generally Xenophobic and anti-women.
Trump himself holds no real convictions beyond his own personal aggrandisement but that facilitates the worst kind of Religious and Political zealots to have free reign over policy - See the above "Project 2025" for reference or any of the proposed legislation coming out from the GOP led States around things like Womens health , Education and the environment.
Various GOP led states are talking about creating a "register" of pregnant woman so they can keep track of them to make sure they don't "try to sneak off and have an abortion somewhere else". Requiring people to "register" with the state so they can be monitored just in case they might break the law , that sounds pretty fascist to me..
As long as Trump gets to be the "big Boss" and he can feather his nest and have people fawning over him he will allow anyone to do anything they like.
See for example his recent offer to the Petroleum industry - "Give me a Billion dollars and I'll let you do whatever you want"
He'll let anyone do anything as long as he gets his cut..

from the horses ass itself
I just read it, and it comes across as a hysterical piece — exactly the same hysteria we heard before 2016.
That article literally compares Trump wanting to deport illegal immigrants to Hitler rounding up the Jews for mass extermination.
It's a ridiculous comparison.
Trump is all rhetoric and provocation and winding up the democrats / far-left.
Project 2025 has well more than 3. Maybe quit playing such obvious desperate games to pretend you’re winning something here, and go read the thing and learn.
Not necessarily "Fascist" per se , but certainly hateful, divisive ,damaging and generally Xenophobic and anti-women.
Which is my whole point to begin with.
Controversial, right-wing positions and rhetoric they may be. Fascist they are not.
But let's play devil's advocate for a second. Let's assume for the sake of argument that everyone in this thread is right — that Trump plans to become a fascist dictator in the United States. What does he plan to do with this fascism? Hitler used his fascism to cause a genocide against Jews and homosexuals and others; to militarize the state for expansionist purposes, ultimately leading to a war that killed tens of millions of people. Mussolini used his fascism to also militarize the state for expansionist purposes, and as well as that, led to the Libyan genocide.
Germany wanted lebensraum, Mussolini wanted spazio vitale.
What are you alleging Trump wants to do with his fascism?
There are many contained in the article, perhaps you should read it as there are many fascist policies contained within as I'm not going to wipe your arse, sorry I mean list them for you
That doesn't count, it has multi-syllable words and no pictures.
That's just it..
Trumps ONLY firm beliefs are that he's awesome and that he loves money.
He will facilitate and allow anyone to do anything as long as he gets a taste and he gets to be "special".
That attitude has led to him being surrounded by either Grifters of the highest order and Religious and Political zealots.
For example , Stephen Miller IS a hateful Fascist with a bagful of fascist policies and because he blow smoke up Trumps ass and will go on TV to proclaim Trump as the greatest thing since sliced Bread , Trump will let him do whatever he wants.
Trump isn't a fascist, but he will facilitate fascists because they will give him money and praise.
make money. that is all he really cares about. and he doesnt care who gets hurt in the process.
Also Big Macs, large fries, chicken nuggets and large Coke, twice a day.
Might occasionally share "coke" with Junior.
Another page wasted on an obvious attention seeker
it is straightforward and unemotional. i dont think you even read it. to dismiss it as hysterical is very trumpian.
As I've said , Trump doesn't really have policies that he'd personally like to implement other than to horde money.
But he will facilitate others that do hold those fascist views as long as they give him what he wants (money)
He will allow the GOP led States to go full Handmaids tail on women, rolling back labour laws to allow child exploitation and more.
He will also allow things like the use of the military to suppress dissent as has already been shown he has suggested.
He will also allow the gross mistreatment of the "different" and has indicated that he plans to allow internment camps for immigrants etc.
His utter disdain for the rule of law and his general disinterest in anything other than himself will enable the "True Believers" to make "different" illegal , whether that's rolling back Womens health , LGBTQ rights , Climate laws , Labour Laws etc. he won't care as long as he gets what he wants from the deal, which is to stay out of jail and keep/grow his money.
And yes , if Trump is in power I guarantee that by inaction he will allow the states to try to over-turn things Obergefell vs. Hodges (Gay Marriage) , Griswold (Contraception) and Loving vs. Virgina (inter racial marriage).
These are all things that the GOP have floated previously and Trump will let them do it because he simply doesn't care.
I have a question for you.
What are Trumps policies?
Go on, what actual political policies is Trump currently running on?
Stooped over, hand on each knee, and perhaps lift up flaps on the book
I have attempted to undermine the position that Trump "is a fascist"; that he doesn't have fascist policies. We have seen three conclusions in response to my argument (aside from the Ad hominem comments):
So even among posters on this thread critical of Trump, there is disagreement about whether Trump is a fascist; there's a belief that Trump is a fascist though nobody can point to actual fascist policies; and that unlike other fascists throughout history who cause genocide and expansionism, Trump wants to become a dictator as an income source.
The whole thing is absurd. I think I've pretty much made my point by now.
