Q: “A number of Republicans have denounced your statement about Rob Reiner’s murder. Do you stand by that?”
TRUMP: “He was a deranged person… I was not a fan… I thought he was very bad for our country…”
*mentions Reiner’s beliefs about Trump and Russia in particular* 🤔

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Understandable. Fascism is part of totalitarianism, which is part of authoritarianism.
Think of it like Family/Genus/Species in biology:
Family - Authoritarian
Genus - Totalitarian
Species - Fascist
Getting the Family right and Species wrong is the difference between a tiger and a house cat!

As just an average person, I really tried to understand the differences among fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and woof it was hard to really grok.

One reason I stick around is that it's great to see - and I am not kidding -when someone actually follows the convo and gets the point
I believe Tom's point is that MAGA and Trump are fascists, their world view is fascist, but the US govt is not a consolidated, consummate, fascism regime. It's current status is probably a competitive authoritarian government, or at least backsliding rapidly into that category 6 mo's in
