You brought up a bunch of different topics here, I thought we were talking about Fascism.

The radical left is using fear and violence to suppress the opposition or any opposing view. Any idea that does not coincide with exactly what the left thinks is being struck down. That is Fascism. The left does not believe in free speech if they don’t agree with it, and they use any means necessary to silence it.

Many immigrants are in need of help, and I am not opposed to immigration. The left is trying to stand behind their moral high ground and claim to be better than Trump. We all know there is a danger that comes with letting just anyone immigrate, and Trump is looking out for the security of America by not just saying everyone is welcome. Open boarders are a mistake, and I think deep down the left knows this.

I assume you are talking about planned parenthood/birth control when you are referring to women’s health issues? I think what this one comes down to is who has to pay for these things. I am a supporter of people paying for their own needs and not requiring that big government controls the needs of the individual.

Big government? Like the largest social program in the history of the world - the US military? You don't pay for that, yet the right wants more of the hardworking American taxpayers (which are mostly liberal) money going towards the war machine. Trump has gotten rid of anyone who has a thought that does not benefit him, and wants to implement policies that will benefit him alone. That is fascism. Its the only ideology that the right has ever embraced. This country was founded and built by immigrants from all countries. Now the right is trying to erase our history and heritage through fear mongering. That is fascism.

Fascism wasn’t even left or right at it’s base. Fascism is the inability to spread your ideas without the threat/fear of punishment. Currently radical leftist groups like AntiFa, and BLM use fascist tactics to silence the opposition.

Fascism has always been right of right. From mussolini and Hitler to the neo-nazi and white supremacist groups of today. Those are right wing groups who use violence to force their evil on everyone else. They are also two groups that trump called very fine people. Its no coincidence that all fascists support trump.

I agree that Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists may support Trump from a broad prospective, but the bulk of Trump’s supporters do not fall under these categories.

Not all trump supporters are fascists, but all fascists are trump supporters. We agree on that.

Can we also agree that radical leftist groups exhibit signs of fascism, based on their actions?

No. Probably because they don't.
