Pretty sure fascism can be either far left or right. Here is Meriam-Webster definition
Definition of fascism
1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
early instances of army fascism and brutality
— J. W. Aldridge
Trump was a regime. He exalted nation and race above the individual. (Although he would claim to be pro-individual but I'm not sure what he did for individuals vs corporations/capital.) He looks up to dictators and admires them. Now the last 2 parts he didn't support - severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition. (Although the latter could be argued when he gassed that church to clean em out for his photo-op with the upside down Bible).
He had a strong tendency to autocratic and dictatorial control. It was just that his coup people were basically all incompetent rubes. They thought they could and would have taken over the country. I take this sort of shit fairly serious and is why I am pro 2nd amendment and QUITE well armed. IMO to save the country from those cock-suckers from Jan 6th who wanted to take away my right to vote. Fuck that shit.
The word fascist probably fits some historical leftist guys closer, but I'm confident we can also use it for Trump. None of his fans agreed but with the benefit hindsight who the fuck are they kidding!??!
Damn, boy. You can't see the woke ass bullshit by Merriam-Webster? Try Wikipedia. They define fascism as a far right ideology. Absolutely, 100%, a fucking lie. Merriam tries to cloud the issue to.
FASCISM IS A FAR LEFT IDEOLOGY. REPEAT. FASCISM IS A FAR LEFT IDEOLOGY. REPEAT. FASCISM IS A FAR LEFT IDEOLOGY. PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIOD.
Fascism is state owned businesses and collectivized labor. Everyone working for the state. Communism is the same thing....just some subtle differences. Fascism and communism are cousins. They both grew out of marxism.
TRUMP IS NOT A RACIST. FUCK YOU, BITCH FOR CALLING TRUMP A RACIST. HE DID MORE FOR MINORITIES THAN ANY PRESIDENT SINCE LINCOLN.
Trump was using nothing more than diplomacy with the despots. FUCK YOUR PUNK ASS FOR SAYING HE LOOKS UP TO THEM. ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID? I THINK YOU ARE.
AND YOU KEEP PUSHING THE DUMB STUPID LIE THAT TRUMP BURNED A CHURCH FOR A PHOTO OP. YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT. QUIT LYING AND GET OVER IT, BITCH.
NOW, FOR YOUR GUNS. YOU CHOSE THE WRONG SIDE FOR A SHOOTING WAR, BUTTFUCK. WE HAVE A HELL OF A LOT MORE GUNS THAN YOU LEFTY RETARDS. STUPID MOTHERFUCKER.
You are one of the lefty idiots that traded energy independence with its accompanying low gas prices, tax cuts, low inflation, rising wages, secure border, for....gas prices doubling, raging inflation, higher taxes, millions pouring across the border....and IRS audits.
DAMN, YOU LEFTIES ARE AS STUPID AS THEY COME. QUIT FUCKING UP THE COUNTRY. KILL YOURSELF.
