Well, I am a liberal, not socialist :). And I don't care if me calling him a xenophobic fascist gets people to flock around him, as long as I stand by my opinion instead of adjusting to peoples prejudice. A person who want to deport 11 million human beings, who want to ban people of a specific religion and make broad assumptions of Mexicans, is a xenophobic fascist. He can still claim that he want to ban Muslims because of the crisis in the middle east, but its still fascism and xenophobia. |
You may not identify as a socialist, but you certainly employ their arguments.
He wants to deport illegal immigrants. A person wanting to uphold the law shouldn't be controversial, but I guess anything is possible when people use their emotions as arguments.
His suggested temporary ban of Muslims entering the country can and should be interpreted as not letting people in from the Muslim countries that refugees and potental terrorists are fleeing from, as there is obviously no way of checking someones beliefs. Criticizing his idea is fair, but the idea is hardly racist or fascist.
As for these broad assumptions that you speak of, they all concerned illegal immigrants; People who by default are criminals. Did he go too far? Yes, I'd say so. But once again race has nothing to do with this issue.
I don't agree with Trump on a lot of issues (such as abortion and gay marriage) and to be honest I don't think he agrees with a lot of what he says himself, but his stance against political correctness and SJW ideals alone is enough to earn my support. People (in particular people with high political influence) labelling their opponents racist, sexist and fascist (three horrible accusations) instead of partaking in constructive debates deserve no respect. Trump's generalizations are bad, but they at least spark discussion on topics that most people wouldn't even dare to talk about because of all these labels being thrown around by people such as yourself.
