Your response and name calling is indicative of someone without morals or conviction of their position. For your questions to be answered your stance needs to be known otherwise the answers provided will be weaseled out of.

Running away from the discussion has been noted.

Trump through narcissistic tendencies, blatant misogyny and incompetence has become an enabler for the far right. There is a lot of parallels with fascism to what's happening.

But most trump supporters try to handwave this away by highlighting his laziness and low energy.

It's a red flag isn't it when people claimed to be more upset about people calling Trump a fascist then engaging with the reasons why… he has contempt for democracy, the rule of law and the Constitution. As the last election proved with "find me the votes" and ordering his VP to refuse to certify legitimate election results - Trump attempted to subvert the election result. When that failed, he organised and incited a mob to storm the Capitol building. These are all the actions of a fascist and dictator.

You can ask Robert O Paxton, Mellon Professor Emeritus of Social Science in the Department of History at Columbia University.

Robert O Paxton, an authority on the historical definition of fascism, argued in 2017 that, despite many overlaps, Trump did not ultimately fit the bill: he was too much of a poser, too lacking in a coherent political programme and too much of a plutocrat. Hitler expropriated the wealthy; Trump sucks up to them. But after the events of 6 January 2021, Paxton changed his mind. In Newsweek a few days afterwards he wrote, “Trump’s incitement of the invasion of the Capitol … removes my objection to the fascist label. His open encouragement of civic violence to overturn an election crosses a red line.”

If you disagree, exactly what would you call him in light of the facts of January 6th? Well?

Yeah hence me posting it- I wouldn’t be totally discounting it as not impacting on voters decision- America as we know is highly sensitive when it comes to “god” and religion

I'm not saying he is NOT .

I asking what makes YOU conclude that he is racist

Another factor to consider are the Christain-Nationalists who hang onto the coat-tails of MAGA.

These are people who wish to convert the offically secular US, into a "Christian Nation" officially. But proponents of this don't nessisarily mean a nation made up of different flavors of Christianity, they very often mean a very specific version of fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity.

In such a mindset, Catholics are currently tolerated and may be seen as useful allies in the fight against reproducive rights. But given their way, Catholics are no better than Muslims or Jews in thier books. As late as the 1960's, JFK getting into the White House was seen as a novel thing; America's first Catholic President. But prior to this, beyond the likes of the Irish or Italian communities, Catholisism was looked down upon as the religion of poor immigrants and nothing compared to the fine-upstanding churches of "real" Americans.

Despite their traditional anti-choice rhetoric, the Catholic Church in America has more to benefit from liberal administrations where freedom of religion is respected. Otherwise, the "Handmaids Tale" nightmare world that some MAGA want, is not a world that includes involvement from Rome.
