WaPo = Fake News.

Donald Trump is a fascist.
When you call somebody a fascist, you can mean any number of things. Often, it means no more than “somebody I don’t like.” It is an all-purpose epithet, usable by anyone against everyone from university deans to Fox News anchors. For that reason, the label should be used sparingly — saved for special occasions. As with “Nazi” or “Hitler,” it is often said that in any discussion, the first person reduced to using such a word has lost the argument. It’s ridiculous to compare any living person to Hitler or Mussolini.

Unfortunate that William F Buckley is not still
around to kick Kinsley’s far left wing ass like
he used to.

Washington Post . . .
The National Enquirer is more reputable and trustworthy.
Whatever bit of Facism Trump has he learned from Obama and the Democrats.
Sorry for not being clear. Anyone who isn’t communist is a fascist, according to people like Michael Kinsley.
Relax folks — it’s just Michael Kinsley doing his usual shuck and jive. Once an idiot, always an idiot.
Next thing the ComPost will probably say he’s an alien from space. Stupid libs.
Cant wait for january when the anti trust lawyers on the DJT team destroy bezos and his paper along with Amazon.
....more fake news from the WAPO heap
I believe Donald will elude all manner of political classification, because he has a plan from heaven that is going to cut across all of this stuff... that will do a certain thing to benefit a certain area of concern, but then stop when it has been done enough. He’ll be called crony capitalist, fascist, and more. Pragmatist might be a more accurate thing to say.
But I bet more likely than not, “millions of workers” will love Donald Trump better than they have their unions, after a few years. A lot of Cassandras will have to eat their words.
You’re going to be disappointed.
And Michael Kinsey is a pimple on my butt.
People who do not understand what words mean should not try and use them. Fascism, the statist philosophy combining a romantic longing for a rebirth of the Roman Empire under a new Caesar named Mussolini with modern secret police and street thug Black Shirt violence, bears no relationship with anything Donald Trump espouses or represents. But like Racist, ****phobe, and Nazi it’s just a word the Ignorati spit out when nothing comes to their inadequate minds to refute someone else’s reasoned argument.
Back when the conventional news media had credibility and standards and really mattered, such a declaration by a recognized pundit would have been shocking and taken up in serious discussion. Now it is just another bit of abuse and insult hurled at Trump — and of utterly no consequence.
LOL! The ad Kinsley fallacy or ‘Kinsley’s law’: anyone citing Michael Kinsley in an argument automatically loses.

Kinda amazing to see WaPo already reduced to such trash in order to obtain clicks. At this rate of descent, in less than two years, WaPo will be on a par with vox.com in terms of credibility, utility, influence, AND clicks!
Barack Obama is actually a cannibal.
True enough under the stated premise.
However, Donald Trump has a way of dealing with many foes that is intended, if possible, to sweep them off their feet. First he punches at them for acting like cads, then he gives them a kiss.
This may still fail to help, but this leaves the ultimate moral onus square on the foe. They cannot complain that Donald did not try to make up, without showing a palpable lie — and this in a time of ever heightened public awareness of news honesty issues.
I guess the word here, is never say never. Many things are based on conditionals that we do not know the ultimate value of.
Well, he is a POS, and he is coprophagic. So I guess you have a point.
Then don't get your lacy undies in a bundle if I call Obola a mooselimb, Comrade Kinsey.
