Fetterman is pro-Israel and held a black man a gun point for no reason. I am moderate as well as independent, but that is funny as I watch liberals become authoritarian at a rate the right-wing could never imagine.

Define fascism for me. I ask every one of you that uses the word, the ONE(out of hundreds) that answered me tried using Trump policies and I showed him Obama policies that were the exact same thing. So please, tell me what it is or stop using it as you aren't helping whatever your agenda is.

As far as I am concerned the closest acceptable behavior comparable to fascism has come from the left. I actually know what fascism is and where/how it started though.

Bud, if you think far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist, militaristic, and holding beliefs that certain races are superior to others describes “liberals” more than the GQP, you never knew what fascism was (spoiler: you didn’t). Similarly, if you were truly a “moderate” and “independent” you wouldn’t have reacted defensively to my comment. No, I’d say you’re either a trump-loving astroturfer (a bad one, at that), or a reactionary pretending to be moderate to avoid scrutiny for the right-wing beliefs you actually hold. Either way, I give your attempt a 0/10

None of that is true, give examples of that behavior. I don’t care about your opinion or interpretation. People thought Obama was a communist, they are as ignorant as you.

Trump is a populist. Nothing he ever did was fascist and you have no proof.

Your behavior trying to label me as an “other” for calling you out says a lot. Just so you know. But your behavior is a means to justify the ends though right?

Fascism is an extreme ideology, it should be easy to point out. If I asked you how Hitler was fascist you would be able to tell me exactly how I would hope. But you are just being hyperbolic for the sake of a narrative and practicing authoritarianism. A product of surrounding yourself with like minded people who don’t challenge the stupid shit you say.

I voted for Obama twice and Biden so your tactics don’t work on me you will actually have to back up what you say.

Cite your source for Fetterman being pro Israel.

John Fetterman, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania and the Democratic frontrunner in next month’s high-profile Senate primary, said he was “eager to affirm” his “unwavering” commitment to bolstering ties between the United States and Israel in an interview with Jewish Insider on Thursday, emphasizing that he will “lean in” on such efforts if he is elected to the upper chamber this November.

“Whenever I’m in a situation to be called on to take up the cause of strengthening and enhancing the security of Israel or deepening our relationship between the United States and Israel, I’m going to lean in,” Fetterman declared in his first conversation with a Jewish publication since he launched his campaign more than a year ago. “The relationship is a special one that needs to be safeguarded, protected, supported and nurtured through legislation and all available diplomatic efforts in the region.”

Ok, fair criticism then.

I guess for those who vote Dem or Repub, it’s a weird tie on that issue.

Lol. Now do the holding a gun on a black guy thing. I like Fetterman, but you people are so full of it. Those virtues you’ve been shoving down everyone’s throat go right out the window when it suits you eh? It’s why I can’t stand rhetorical ideological partisan hacks.
