If it's coming from you it's clearly not acorrect label. The term fascist is like the term racist, just tossed around to cover intellectual vacuity. They are words that daddy hating sexually confused teenagers in black hoodies and masks scream on the street corners at midnight or are used to justify assassinations and lawbreaking.

Would the video be acceptable if it didn't include Obama ?

The video was a repeat of the unsubstantiated claim that the election was "stolen" because of voter fraud. His claim has been proven false repeatedly. The video was not appropriate for the office of the POTUS. I am not alone in that opinion.

As I have said before the word racist means nothing anymore, especially coming from folks who are racist in their deeds. I would go so far as to say that folks who think that showing a person in the guise of a gorilla is racist are just projecting their own thoughts. Me, I think gorillas are cool...peaceful, strong, intelligent, non violent vegetarians. What an insult to gorillas to be equated with the scumbag Obamas.

PS I also think that even calling Obama "black" is racist, and typical of the hate ridden Democrats. Sounds like antebellum New Orleans with mulattos and quadroons and octaroons and all the racist lingo based on "blood" of ones parent or grandparent. Like National Socialists, wow, with their emphasis on blood LOL, better not have a Jew in the woodpile 100 years ago. Or Pocahontas Warren. Come to think of it, since Baraks mother is "white" his calling himself black is racist against white folks LOL. Then again, it got him into a good school and into the white house, since Joe Biden said he was a real smart one for his kind (paraphrased).

You screeching racist, racist, racist as a political weapon isnt either convincing or scaring anyone, or shutting anyone up.

Dont forget your thumbs down, or your "you have nothing" trademark

Gorillas are cool. 2 to 3x stronger than a man.

Thats what all the fuss is about

The video was a repeat of a false claim. It also included a racist depiction. Neither is acceptable from the office of the POTUS.

I will rephrase. Position, not opinion. It is called principle.

Trump posted the whole video, NOT just the Obama bit

False:

"A video posted online by US President Donald Trump that included a clip depicting former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes has been deleted after it drew criticism for being racist.

Trump posted the video on Thursday night, using it to insist irregularities occurred in past elections.

The video contained imagery that lasted for roughly one second showing the faces of the Obamas attached to bodies of animals such as gorillas or orangutans."

Okay let me try to explain this to you as you don't seem to be able to see things with clear eyes.

A basic primer or the use of Marxist doctrine, of which Trump is an absolute master. Trump is definitely a Marxist. And a wannabe fascist.

 

The most reactionary and far-right sectors of the capitalist class have teamed up to back a wannabe dictator who’s managed to assemble a mass movement of contradictory forces behind him — outright racists and misogynists along with millions of disaffected and confused members of the working class. It’s the classic formula for fascism.

But beyond the race hatred, the anti-immigrant hostility, the misogyny, and the homophobic/transphobic attacks, what else motivates significant blocs of voters to go over to the fascist side?

 

Georgi Dimitrov, one of the famed anti-fascist leaders of the 1930s, provided the beginnings of an answer:

 

“What is the source of the influence of fascism over the masses? Fascism is able to attract the masses because it demagogically appeals to their most urgent needs and demands. Fascism not only inflames prejudices that are deeply ingrained in the masses, but also plays upon the better sentiments of the masses, on their sense of justice and sometimes even on their revolutionary traditions. Fascism aims at the most unbridled exploitation of the masses but it approaches them with the most artful anti-capitalist demagogy, taking advantage of the deep hatred of the working people against the plundering bourgeoisie, the banks, the trusts, and financial magnates.”

 

Add to that the deep resentment that Trump supporters had toward law enforcement and the justice system, for going after their felonious master with such unbridled passion. 

Nearly every 250 years an empire passes Into near obscurity. It truly feels like that is the moment for the US right now, it's been on the decline for at least three decades and nearly every policy that Trump enacts exacerbates the decline, and precipitates it quite dramatically. 

 

I think its funny that folks screech about how fascist Trump is, while posting from under his jurisdiction in the USA.

If everything it does is from the fascist's playbook, odds are it's a fascist movement:

Yahoo News

The Department of Homeland Security Is Demanding That Goo...

"You don't have to lock somebody up to make them reticent to make their voice heard."

Fascist to his core. Just as he's also racist to his core.

Considering folks put their desire to see his death in their signatures, I bet the Secret Service would be interested.

The sad and self-inflicted decline of the Washington Post, in one chart

Under Jeff Bezos, the paper retreated from the adversarial, anti-Trump posture that helped fuel its growth. And now its influence has fallen sharply.

It's not about the news. It's about being anti-Trump.

Honestly, you come across as lacking in intellectual depth.

I really enjoy seeing people melt down and become unglued because of President Trump's winning. It just proves that Trump is the master of getting under the left wing liberal's skin. Keep it coming, it makes my day.

Interesting, could you please post this clip up to the board so we can all see it? I would like to observe the similarity.
