pfkurtz··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean. But that's what fascism is — right wing authoritarianism built around a leader cult merging racist populists with a corporate elite, directing state violence at marginalized/demonized groups. Which is what Trumpism is.

Nope. Where it's defined as people enacting or cheering right wing authoritarian destruction of democratic society.

Like the supporters of Donald Trump.

Seems like there's a whole lotta fascists on this internet.

Fascist language is generally constructed to externalize blame. That doesn't mean its calls for "peace measures" are not calls to harm those people. Trump has been inciting racist violence for years. Take your head out of the sand. Context matters.
