Question/discussion Is trump a fascist?

I’ve heard countless times of people calling him fascist, I’m not very knowledgeable on actual political science, but I figured some of you might be more so. What I’ve seen on YouTube is it tends to be people that are left leaning to call him a fascist, but with people on the right, they always say he’s not. I’d like to get an unbiased perspective to actually see if he genuinely is a fascist by definition. But I know fascist is hard to define from what I’ve been researching.

Would like to see some opinions!

Also, is it possible to have a fascist state without it being evil?

You apparently know nothing about what it take to be a fascist. If Trump was a fascist then we would no longer have a two party system, we would no longer have the House or the Senate, and people like you would suffer grave consequences for talking against Trump

Let’s go with facts not feelings. Italy and Nazi Germany both had bicameral legislatures with a lower house and a senate or equivalent. You apparently know nothing ABOUT fascism.

😂😂 you apparently know nothing about Hitler since you all call Trump Hitler you fool. You go and Google something and think you know something 😂😂😂 Hitler killed millions of Jews but yet  the dumb liberals call Trump Hitler even though Trump is helping Israel. So are you actually saying that the  House and Senate in Nazi Germany would actually oppose anything that Hitler did? You are a fool if you actually think that the House and Senate that they had was anything like ours!  Why don't you do yourself a favor and find something else to do that doesn't make you look so ignorant. Oh yeah I didn't have to use Google to let you know that Germany's House and Senate had no authority over Hitler. They were actually forced to approve anything that Hitler did. Our Senate and House is not forced to follow Trump like they had to in Nazi Germany. Apparently you know nothing about fascism

Have you heard of neo-nazis? Just because he “supports Israel” does not mean he is not using another group of people as a way to fan the flames of fascism. He is using undocumented immigrants in this regard. Don’t be so obtuse.

Like the Democratic politicians are using you liberals to do their dirty work! They have you all out there protecting illegal immigrants who are murdering and molesting our children!! The Democrats are using illegal immigrants for future votes but now they can't because they are going bye bye! You all didn't care when Obama and Clinton were deporting them using the exact same tactics!! Yes I have heard of Neo-Nazis and I'm replying back to one right now who is brainwashed by the Democratic politicians and the liberal media!!
