Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Right, the guy who rants about immigrants having "bad genes" and lies about them eating people's pets as a way to dehumanize them is totally not a fascist.

The guy who attempted a putsch to secure power outside of democratic channels is certainly not a fascist.

The guy trying to provoke his neighbors into a territorial dispute and threatening to "annex" countries for natural resources is totally not a fascist.

The guy who is enriching his corporate cronies while they consolidate power for the regime is definitely not a fascist (nor is the guy doing Nazi salutes at his inauguration).

The guy rounding people up with a secret police force and sticking them in camps can't possibly be a fascist.

The guy demonizing anything to the left of white nationalism as communism/socialism isn't a fascist.

No way the guy who was denounced by his own VP as "America's Hitler" is a fascist.

And therefore the people who support him can't be fascist!

That's a pretty smart take you've got there.

You forgot "the guy who is calling for his political opponents to be killed or deported isn't a fascist".
