Why would I have to elaborate? Are you really this uneducated? Or just trolling, because no matter what is said, and no matter how accurate, you'll just "lol" and dismiss it?

Key Early Warning Signs of Fascism
- Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Promoting constant patriotic mottos, symbols, and flags, often implying national or racial superiority.
- Disdain for Human Rights: Believing that human rights can be ignored or suspended in the name of "security" or national need.
- Identifying Scapegoats/Enemies: Unifying a frustrated populace by blaming a common enemy—such as minority groups, immigrants, or political opponents—for the nation's problems.
- Supremacy of the Military: Glorifying military strength, granting the armed forces disproportionate funding and political power, and using military tactics or personnel domestically.
- Controlled Mass Media: Directly censoring or constantly discrediting independent journalism to control the public narrative and replace objective facts with propaganda.
- Obsession with National Security & Crime: Fostering a permanent sense of fear that the nation is under attack, backed by harsh policing and a fixation on law and order.
- Religion and Government Intertwined: Using dominant religious identities to shape state policy and delegitimize opponents.
- Corporate Power Protected and Labor Suppressed: Safeguarding the wealth of corporate elites while weakening labor unions and worker rights.
- Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Rejecting academic freedom, independent science, and cultural expression that does not align with state ideology.
- Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Rewarding personal loyalty to a leader above professional competence, leading to institutional corruption and rule-breaking with impunity.
- Fraudulent or Undermined Elections: Manipulating voting processes, attacking the legitimacy of electoral systems, or establishing a one-party state. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Note, for this particular instance, the "Controlled Mass Media" bullet point ... he's been pushing this since before he was Fuhrer. He's been attacking independent journalism ... and you guys, of course buy it ... "it's all their fault ... they're against me!" "Yeah! Fake news! Lamestream media!" And now he is attempting to push his propaganda through social media (Truth Social) and other media outlets (Trump TV ... a dedicated propaganda site ... for profit, no less). I mean, this is textbook. Half the MAGAts don't care that he's doing these things, just as long as they can "own da libs" ... and the other half love that he's doing this because they want to take back power while bowing before a cult of personality.
But coming from the guy who is a "rocket scientist, of sorts" and who, by his own definition, did not attend Harvard, but wants to continue claiming he attended Harvard, there's no hope for a legitimate discussion on the topic ... so troll away while normal people point and laugh at your idiocy.
