The Trump Presidency

[Garmel]

Le Pen is a neo-fascist? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! Quit reading the left leaning rags.

On what grounds would you argue that the FN is anything else?

[Julio3000]

I never correlated Le Pen to your child's safety. That was made in remarks directly about Islam.

Yeah, in the context of the French election. So you kinda did. Please continue.

Because there's nothing there? Seriously, the same people calling Trump a fascist is the same calling Le Pen a fascist.

Well, that's convincing.

You're a keen observer of French politics, I guess? Familiar with the history of the FN?

Well, that's convincing.

You don't believe in political parties changing ideologies over time?

Yes. I'm also a keen follower of your democrat party as well and it has its fair share of skeletons in the closet too. Parties do change.

[Julio3000]

Right, so they're no longer full-throated Holocaust deniers, just winky-noddy anti-Semites. GG, guys.

Mmm. Ok. What's changed?

You know Le Pen kicked her dad out of the Front for being a denier, right? Do you really want me to bring up the anti-Semitism stuff that some in your party exhibit?

[Garmel]

Mmm. Ok. What's changed?

Slavery and Segregation. Before you start spouting "The Southern Strategy" stuff do some research by using Google on why that's nonsense.

More scare tactics. Identity politics at its finest.

Exactly

[Julio3000]

For the record, I have never called Trump a fascist, but the nationalist-America-First-corporatist Bannon-Sessions axis does pretty much walk and quack like that particular duck, right down to the slogan. It's a politically charged term, though, and I stay away from it.

The FN is a neo-fascist party. Purging old man Le Pen doesn't change that.

Hoo boy.

You say, while touting the pinnacle of identity politics.

Really, what the hell?

Mine is the pinnacle of current day facts. Whether you choose to have your blinders on is a personal decision.

[Garmel]

Really, what the hell?

You really need to get out of your echo chamber. You've let yourself get brainwashed into liberal myths that are not true. Two questions make it false. How many politicians changed parties? Very few. When did the South go red? Not until the 80's.

A good article that debunks the myth. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...0s_118172.html
