I guess you should re-read your given phrase, even by the light of parent posting. We have:

"populist political philosophy, movement, or regime" > appeal to populist rethoric, check

"exalts nation above individual" > mass deportations and gov firing, "means justify the ends", check

"centralized autocratic headed by dictatorial leader" > executive orders, disregard for federal laws, DOGE, check

"economic and social regimentation" > "nationalists" vs left, woke or whatever it is this week, check

"forcible suppression of opposition" > no-process deportations, name-calling opposition, incentives to war against neighboors, check

It's all fascism MO; you probably learned fascism in school by only learning the last days and steps before WWII, not how it started.



> "exalts nation above individual" > mass deportations and gov firing, "means justify the ends", check

I mean, "America First" is even openly their slogan.


Nationalist is not fascism.

Ffs they aren’t ethnically cleansing the nation. They are removing illegal aliens who have no legal right to be here, and they’re open to those removed people coming back legally.

A lot of people have a really big problem footing the welfare bill required to sustain that type of policy.

The way I see it, it was incredibly irresponsible for the Biden administration to import a bunch of people without strong legal protections for their residency here. I mean seriously wtf. If your policy is “import immigrant labor” then at least do it legally. Otherwise you only have yourself to blame when reasonable people start asking questions.


> Nationalist is not fascism.

Not all nationalism is fascism, but fascism is nationalist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement..."

Yeah, that's how it tends to start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_Plan
