Or maybe things aren't black and white like that, and labelling things as fascist isnt very useful right now.
Both parties do horribly awful stuff to both american citizens and people from around the world.
Also trump didnt takeover, he won an election. Trump represents america whether you like it or not. Its funny how people outside america aren't nearly as surprised he won.
Hitler won his election too. And twice as well. I'm not sure why that makes it okay or Trump not a fascist.
No he didnt, he lost and was later appointed chancellor by the winner.

Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933.
He then won yet another election that same year.

Please explain how 1933 comes before 1932.
Never mind figured it out. Good job, or whatever.

He was not elected to president or chancellor however. Feel free to read the above post as you, as always, throw nuance to the wayside for brevity.
That’s because it’s not an elected position. What are you going to reveal to me next, that the UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer wasn’t elected prime minister?
Germany didn’t work like that and still doesn’t.
Not every country is the U.S., believe it or not.
Then how is that relevant to bring up when talking about an elected position like the US president? Who appointed trump president again? Is it the american people?
You:
Me:
Then you got into a whole bullshit thing where you pretended that wasn’t true.
You might try some memory exercises or something, but you’re welcome for the refresher.
Cool, and you never try to understand anyone else's point. Have you considered working as a lawyer?
What do you think "fascism" is? Like, this line of argument worked ten years ago because people didn't know what the fuck they were looking at, but now? NOW?!
Not everyone jumps to conclusions as quickly as you, its not a race do see who can declare something fascist as prematurely as possible.
Maybe if y'all could connect the dots better more democrats would have voted.
Dude, it's been 25 years of fascist creep in the US government. How much longer do you want to wait before "Jump[ing] to conclusions"?
Jumping to conclusions is about claiming things are or will happen without reason. You could be right and jump to a conclusion at the same time.
I will say this election didnt change who America is as a country though.
