Is there a philosophy behind Trumpism? I’m not sure. Sometimes I have found that pro-Trump people are even proud they can’t give reasons, other than that they are somehow fighting evil.
This makes the Trump movement even more like Fascism. One of the things I understand about fascism is that it rarely announces a coherent policy or philosophy. Its an appeal to a sense of collapse, and a sense of victimhood, so there are no reasons for supporting Trump. His supporters know their support is good.
A Fascist movement:
- makes people feel good, by talking about real Germans or real Americans, so that you feel special as you are part of a special nation and a special group. Maybe a master race. You are one of the chosen for victory,, because you recognise the greatness of the Leader and follow him as your duty to the country.
- tells you that the country and you and your children are being victimised by some relatively powerless (but in fascist mythology incredibly powerful if cowardly), minority: jews, marxists, black people, feminists, intellectuals, gay people, trans people etc.
- says, the only way of restoring the country’s past glories is to hold these foul people down, or get rid of them – and you can do it under the guidance of the Fuehrer or il Duce, or whatever, and all will be well as a result. You are saving your family and children as well as the country.
- The Leader, is an almost supernatural genius, under the guidance of GOD. He knows things. He does things. He is the best at everything.
- It does not matter if I, or foul and sneering intellectuals, cannot understand the leader, he works in mysterious ways!! He is guided. He is right.
- Anyone challenging the Leader must be one of the evil minorities or else he would not be challenging him. Opponents are evil by definition, how could they not be as they will not see the truth, and so they must be fought against and disposed of.
- There is a vast conspiracy against the Leader and against real America, and you can see this because the Leader is unfairly and illegally charged with criminal activities, and our enemies are not.
- We must fight aginst this conspiracy and put it out forever. We must control the law, so it does not happen again.
- Democrats being evil, are marxists, and probably agents of a foreign power.
- The Leader’s loyal followers are True Heroes, because they realise the truth and fight against the massive evil conspiracy run by pedophile Drag Queens. Onwards!!!!
- They look forward to gloating over their supposed opponents misery
