It’s interesting that the Fascist Party is calling Trump, whom I don’t really like, a fascist. Does the DNC really now know they are the true Fascist Party of the US? I mean, look at how they treat regular Americans.

Fascism is a hierarchal oligarchy but it can also encompass other structures of government, therefore it can be entrenched in either the left or right spectrum of politics.
The technical indicators of fascism is the Executive typically has or seeks total control of the Judiciary (knowingly or unknowingly) through whatever means they think they can get away with.
Venezuela is an example of leftist fascist state. Obama would be a perfect example of an up and coming leftist fascist.

80% of Leftist have the political mentality of an eight year old child. I think that's an insult to 8 year olds. I think they're more like 2 year olds who think everything is "MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE"

In fact, Fascism is a national socialism. Its father Mussolini came from Italian socialist party where he confessed admiration for Lenin and Trotsky is quoted as calling Mussolini his "best pupil." [See "Mussolini" by Denis Mack Smith, 1983]
A core principle of Fascism is that 'what is not owned by the state must be controlled by the state.'
Who does that really sound like Salon? How long has it been your Democrat party had a President or Presidential candidate that did not share that fascist believe?

So because some one (Trump) is coming out with true facts, and we are loving the truth and seeing how upset the MSM and the corrupt politicians are and afraid they are going to be next on Trump's list, we are being called ‘fascists’???
WOW...they are really running scared and peeing their pants aren't they.....couldn't happen to a better group of ‘got blood on their hands’ crooks...

If Salon wants to out a TRUE, dictionary definition, fascist all they need to do is remove the scales from their eyes and be honest with themselves and everyone else and take a look at their favorite progressive hopey changey community organizer. You know who Im talking about: Fascist Number One.I am sympathetic to the author's opinion but he conveniently leaves out what you posted above. An evolving fascist state seems to be inevitable.

In their effort to destroy Trump, Salon will soon be proclaiming that he is a “progressive.”

Definition of Fascist: New Deal Democrat running as a Republican
Unfortunately, a New Deal Democrat is now to the right of the GOP establishment.

Whatever the label salon tries to put on him , i like him better than any crony republicrat.
Who is better for the country, boehner, McConnell or trump?
A vote form an establishment repub is like a vote for McConnell.

In a recent article by Jeffrey Tucker...it is argued, quite justly...that Donald Trump...is a fascist...The libs be squealing like little girly men.
Until just a couple of days ago, I had not realized just how scared they are.
Trump is a nightmare for them.
An aside: I was a young kid when Barry Goldwater was campaigning, but as I remember his personality, I remember it much like Trumps.
Not the political aspect, after all, Goldwater was a lifetime politician, but the bombastic attitude and his "to hell with you" attitude.
Any old-timers out there that have better remembrance than I?
And if you do...you're more old-timer than me!

And "open borders" mean that we have NO nation at all!!!!That's their objective. Cue John Lennon,
...Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
And don't forget the religion part. They've got to exterminate that, too.
Cordially,
