That fits the GOP to a T, so id say yes
This is why

Pretty easy to find examples of each of those points in the MAGA movement.
And all of them, in Trump.
Make america great again…. Dump the chump.
"They're poisoning the blood"
"Id only be dictator for one day"
"When you see the other side chopping off heads, waterboarding doesn't sound very severe"
Would you like more? That took me about 30 seconds.
Does grab em by the pussy ring any bells?
Then you should probably stop replying to people.
Have you heard of Google?

^New account created to defend fascists. Please ignore.
There's a post right above this one asking about the benefits of totalitarianism. Seems they're out en force now
You'll do anything but read the
fourvast number of links provided.The first link is literally about Trump quoting Hitler and the history of that quote.
Go away sealion.
Trump has now literally said he is going to be a dictator, said that he wants to get rid of vermin, meaning anyone not a Republican, and is also very concerned about the purity of the blood of the nation.
Are you just amazingly ignorant, or the first overt right wing troll from r/thedonald that I have encountered on lemmy?
EDIT: oh god read your other comments, obvious troll is obvious holy shit
Yeah, I’d say whatever party does all of that is probably fascist - or at the very least, on its way to being fascist.
Oh yeah - in fact, Democrats also do a lot of stuff the GOP does. However, I’ll support whatever party does see how batshit insane the idea of becoming a corpofascist state is, because unfortunately voting in the US has become “vote against what you don’t like” instead of “vote for what you want”.
In truth, I wouldn’t be surprised if the US does become a corpofascist state in our lifetimes - we tend to forget that Democrats are center-right while GOP is full-on right-wing, hence why Hillary was chosen instead of Bernie for the Democratic candidate.
yep, to the letter.
America First, yes. Trump's favorite.
Right, like using a fake elector scheme to enthrone Trump as unelected dictator, presumably for life. It's their plan A.
Like taxing the middle class and putting kids in cages?
Lol.
Entire GOP shares one single testicle. They keep passing it to one another in the time when they need to act tough. In reality they are nothing but a bunch of cowards.
It's like orange cats sharing the one brain cell, but NOT CUTE.
Everyone, just block the ban-evading fascist sympathizer in this thread.
They very obviously aren't here to be persuaded away from fascism.
And my dog not understanding nuclear fission, doesn't mean it's not real.
Just that he can't understand it.
I could spend the rest of his life explaining it in detail with lots of peer reviewed literature...
But why would I waste our time on that?
My comment counter show "40 (-9 new)"
Fun times. Looks like the maga brigade are onto lemmy.
i like to fite.
let me at em.
Lol, if you block that obvious troll there are two comments in this thread that remain
Because 1) it was posted an hour ago, 2) it's not at all unexpected. 3) the bots are doing their bot thing well, keeping political discussion (which might contain something useful to someone) nested in a thread hidden because of low ratio.
All discussion being confined to that thread means it won't be seen by people casually browsing (hoping to avoid toxicity, or who might not want to consider a viewpoint different from their own).
Lol, if you block that obvious troll there are two comments in this thread that remain
This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Tuesday became the latest member of Republican leadership to endorse former President Donald Trump in his latest bid for the White House.
Scalise’s announcement comes less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses kick off voting in the Republican presidential primary.
“I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024, and I look forward to working with President Trump and a Republican House and Senate to fight for those families who are struggling under the weight of Biden’s failed policies,” Scalise posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The former president continues to lead the Republican presidential primary field by around 40 percentage points in nationwide polling, according to the latest update to the CNN Poll of Polls, ahead of his chief rivals Florida Gov.
Trump’s commanding lead comes as he is a defendant in multiple criminal trials and faces 91 charges against him across four separate cases.
He’s been juggling campaigning in early voting states with his legal obligations as a defendant.
