Obama has been like any other moderate democrat. He didn't take away the guns, HAHA, you're a fool if you think he wouldn't if he could. He sure as hell tried.

he didn't silence his enemies, Um, remeber the whole IRS scandal?

and he's subject to the constitution like any other president. And how many of his EOs/intiatives have been deemed un-consitutional?

The media just sells soap, when there's no news they make some up. I see the USA in global context, and Trump is a very real threat to our standing and reputation. Do you believe in national sovereignty or world sovereignty?

For the first time in modern history we could be outcasts. With the direction this world is heading, I would welcome that.

Yep.

Do you have evidence that Obama directed any targeting?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRS_targeting_controversy

But surely since the DOJ decided there wasn't enough evidence, then that must be true, right? Thats almost as obsurd of supporting the idea that you have to ask permission from the people you are protesting against, for the permission to protest (Im talking about the need to procure a permit to protest near the White House).

Didn't Trump say that he wanted to punish media that were unfriendly toward him? I don't know, did he? Let me do some research:

https://www.google.com/#q=trump+punish+media+that+were+unfriendly

Oh no, the first hit is from VOX, so the entire premise must be false since VOX is a left leaning rag? Or was my search to broad?

Your search terms are vague and the hits on that page do not enumerate individual cases. Does not enumerate individual cases, WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HIT?!?!

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/11/fifth-circuit-obama-immigration/415077/

or, how about the second one?

https://www.myheritage.org/news/unanimous-supreme-court-rules-against-the-obama-administrations-unconstitutional-power-grab/

How many unique cases of rulings against Obama are there?

Best part is that your search terms yield this hit on the first page:

HAHAHA, way to gloss over the 8 hits that are before that one (BTW, I couldn't access it to read it because that page wants me to turn my ad blocker off)

You say Obama is so bad in this particular way then you should elaborate on the cases that you find egregious and put them a proper historical context. Otherwise you seem to just be bleating back partisan noise. Hell, you should at least be able to rattle off something specific.

Wrong, I have never said "Obama is so bad...". I used his unconstitutional EOs to supplement Rusty's comment on him being "subject to the constitution" along the premise of "Thank God for the Constitution stoping Obama's fascsim. But like always, you take something out of context (that wasn't even directed towards you in the first place) and completely spin it into something you can refute.

Isn't Google rigged? How are right wing websites like Heritage showing up at the top of the list if Google is rigged?

OK, assuming your turrets is over for now, see above for my responses.

HAHAHA, way to gloss over the 8 hits that are before that one

You really need me to give examples of him being intolerant, authoritarian, nationalistic, or right wing? There is nothing wrong with being nationalistic, or right wing. Granted, like everything else, it becomes a problem when its taken to the extreme, but I do not see him on the extreme right (the video you had me watch even touched on this). In fact, like I said, some in his own party don't even consider him right enough. Regarding being intolerant/authoritarian, why can't you just give me specific examples? I can tell you feel strong in this regard, so enlighten me, becaue I can't get past the media bias towards him. It makes me distrust everything "they" say. So, I'll watch his speeches, and form my own opionin. This also helps when the media takes his little "gotcha" statements out of context, because I saw/heard it for myself and know what he meant, and how it differs from the what he media says. (You see, this is how it works. Lets face it, most people don't watch these speeches. They rather watch the Kardashians, the Voice, or whatever other else. So their only source of political information is through the OPINIONs of the media, and not the candidate themselves. Thats how propaganda works. For it to work, you need a disinfranchised population that doesn't really give a shit).

So, please Rusty, give me some specific examples that are not media driven opinions.

Has he not tried repeatedly to silence his critics through intimidation and dehumanization? WHAT POLITICIAN DOESN'T? Look at the current political atmoshpere, are not the critics either intimitaded or mocked/snarked at?

Is he not an extreme nationalist who would punish business when he thinks they are not acting in the national interest? By punish do you mean tax them at a higher rate? Isn't that a good thing? Isn't that what the left wants? What other forms of punishment have you heard him speak of? Another honest question.

There's hope for you obie, so I'll ask a favor. Just spend 10 minutes watching this non partisan lecture from Khan Academy on the rise of Mussolini and fascism in Italy. Then let's compare and contrast with Trump. http://www.khanacademy.org/hum...i?_escaped_fragment_= This is personal to me, my wife's grandfather was a partisan and was imprisoned at Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp in Trieste. He was one of the lucky ones, but it's not a happy place. My revulsion to Trump is not trivial or hasty. Just think about it.

I watched the video and honeslty I did learn more about fascism/Mussolini. However, the only parellels I see are his rise to power from the angst/disgust by his countrymen with the given state of their country. So yes, much like there are a lot of pissed of people in this country rallying behind Trump, there were a lot of pissed of people in Italy rallying behind Mussolini. But from what I learned, the premise of the pissiness is different. In America, we are pissed off at the Oligarchs stomping on our Constitution, our "freedoms" slowly being taken away, and watching our work to income ratio diminish. For Mussoline, it was a revolt against Socialism itself. (I did find it ironic that Facism spun from Socialism). The vide even said "The ELITE and the middle class were both unhappy with the way the government was running the country" BIG DIFFERENCE TO WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON HERE IN AMERICA. The middle class are pissed at the elite taking the power away from us.

One more thing, the video talked about the black shirts using violence/intimidation to get there point across. Based on your writtings, you seem to think that Trump and his supporters do the same? I ask you, who is doing all the protesting/inciting violence lately, the left or the right? Honestly, do you see any Trump supporters at Hillary/Bernie rallies stoking flames?

I respect your personel feelings towards Fascism, but to be honest, I think equating Trump to Mussolini, the Trump "movement" to the fascist movement, and Trump to Mussolini on a personl level, are far stretched at best. Not to sound like a dick, but unless you can provide me some sort of specific examples, I can't help but conclude you are letting your emotional hatred towards fascism cloud your logical, fact driven, opinon of Trump. However, who the fck am I to judge, you are entilted to whatever you feel.
