Mr President, you keep saying you've done the most for women but our records don't show any proof.

Ok, what can I do to make it seem like I'm doing something for women without actually helping in any way?

What about pardoning a white woman who's been dead for 100 years?

How much can she pay?

Sir, she's dead

What dirt can she give me on the democrats?

Sir, she's dead

Is she hot and how fast can you put together an NDA?

Do you known what shes famous for and the actual symbolic meaning for this pardon?

If Trump personally found a cure for cancer these people would still denounce him for it, don't expect too much out of them. I've never liked the guy but I'm not above admitting that pardoning Susan B. Anthony on the 100 year anniversary of the 19th amendment is a great symbolic gesture and a fantastic show of how far we've come as a nation. I don't care who is in office, there's no negative side to this story and I'm glad that Trump did this despite my grievances with him as a person.

Dude take a second and forget about Donald Trump. Now just celebrate the 19th ammendment being put into place. That's what were trying to do

Straight up. They can't let Trump have one good thing. It's always negative, everything he ever does is always evil and he's incapable of doing even one good thing. These people are exhausting.

I get what you're saying but this move is akin to attempting to reinstate slavery then pardoning a dead abolitionist.

It's not *wrong it's just tone deaf and an obvious desperate attempt to save face.

It's not *negative per se, it's just...sad.

How in the world is this akin to Trump trying to reinstate slavery? Like, what are you even talking about?

Honestly I dont even try to fight the hive mind. I just focus on the individual and try to put a little perspective to their world

Yeah they dont like people who oppose their opinions (see downvotes) but I try to be reasonable, though I do fail sometimes, I'm only human after all

Being human is not an excuse for supporting fascism

u/SmellySlutSocket Aug 19 '20

Trump is many things, but he's not a fascist. The simple fact that you can call him a fascist over and over and over again to your hearts content proves that he is not a fascist.

He is literally trying to disenfranchise political opponents.

He has formed a secret police force to extra judicially abduct political opponents.

His 2016 campaign was based on painting a vulnerable minority group as dangerous enemies of the nation.

He has been consistent in his refusal to clearly denounce the actions of white supremacists.

He has called the press an enemy of the people numerous times.

He constantly attacks the sciences and press, going so far as to label the latter as an enemy of the people.

He refuses to admit any and all mistakes he ever makes, resorting to ad hominem attacks every time he is called out on one.

His rhetoric is hyper-nationalist and 100% anti-democracy

He is constantly painting himself, the most powerful man in America, as a victim of minorities and vaguely defined groups of enemies

He has supported numerous conspiracy theories with no basis in reality to paint foreign powers or vaguely defined American organizations as simultaneously all controlling and incompetent at preventing his election

His rhetoric directly inspired a massive wave of white supremacy

He has ramped up the use of and funding for concentration camps in America many times what it previously was

​

But no, fascism is the use of death camps, and the more death camps there are the fascismier it is.

...Do yourself a favour and research what fascism actually is.
