Does this mean that Trump and his followers are fascists?

He signed an executive order making the entire US army oppose him.

Ima stay outa this now.

Looks like we're all terrorists.

Everyone arm up.

The far right which has taken over ICE and the Federal government under Trump is terrorizing many, many people in this country. JD Vance, Noem, and Trump know it (the cruelty is the point) and yet all cast any criticism of this fact as "terrorist rhetoric." That kind of table-turning projection is foundational in the authoritarian playbook.
But what I don't understand is - why does the American public discourse seem to tolerate all these tactics?

I think I've figured out Trump's Reichstag moment.

It'll be the White House burning down, because of something going wrong with the ballroom construction. Then he'll get to move the presidential residence to Mar-A-Lardo like he's always wanted, and charge the American taxpayers for renovations and rent forever.

Oops, guess I'm a terrorist now.

I am a terrorist now I guess.

Since that name is now burned, maybe we could start a new organization to fight fascism. And to let the world know that we've reached a point of fascism we can't turn back from, we can call it Turning Point.

It'd be fun to let them wrestle with calling brand Turning Point a terrorist group.

The next big protest is going to be interesting for sure...

One can be anti fascist whilst not being a member of Antifa. Don't forget people, these are the dumbest people in the world running this show.

I prefer the term freedom fighter.

Remember this moment? He's probably right

Come on Trump, you can do better. Here in The Netherlands the government has signed a motion banning antifa already last week! Try to keep up, will ya? /s

It's so unfortunate that journalism is dead, otherwise we could've had some interesting discussions on this topic. For instance, I would like really like to know what would happen if a WWII veteran would speak out against fascism. Will we (The Netherlands or in this case the US) lock that person up?

... in case you weren't sure what he stands for

They are not even hiding that they are fascist now, wow.

In the last 30 years, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has documented only one killing committed by an alleged antifa supporter. On August 29, 2020, Michael Reinoehl shot and killed fascist Aaron “Jay” Danielson, a member of Patriot Prayer, during a protest in Portland, Oregon. On social media following the killing, Trump encouraged police forces to kill Reinoehl. “Do your job, and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is,” Trump said. Reinoehl was murdered by police and federal agents on September 3, 2020.

While there have been virtually no documented killings committed by alleged antifa members, there have been hundreds of murders and tens of thousands of assaults committed by self-declared fascists, antisemites, far-right militia elements and white supremacists over the last 30 years.

Historically the War Dept was anti fascist.... Which means Trump just declared the U.S. military a crimanl terrorist organization... Time to go arrested those serving in the military. Let's start at the top: The ~~good~~ old commander in chief.

Its all the smoke screen for the epstein files.

Shit news source generally (tankie as all hell), but in this specific case the article seems solid.

Fuck fascism. Fuck this entire administration. Fuck Charlie Kirk and every other nazi like him.

I'm still going to protest, because I'm not the coward that these fascists are hoping for.

Getting arrested for holding a sign on public property will be a slam dunk lawsuit.

Executive Orders cover the federal executive branch. They aren't federal law, they aren't state law & the certainly don't override the Constitution.

Grow a fucking spine.

America used to be antifa.
