    I haven’t read all that. This article is pretty long, but quite interesting in its approach to the US relationship with fascism and the relationship between proper fascism and Trump.

    America, thanks to Trump, has now reached that fork in the road where it must choose down which path its future lies – with democracy and its often fumbling ministrations, or with the appealing rule of plutocratic authoritarianism, ushered in on a tide of fascistic populism.

    On that count Trump was just saying what many French (certainly Parisiens) would

    Indeed @kimbers based on having a French wife and having lived there (here) for a year. Posting from Paris as a matter of fact. In case you hadn’t noticed the Front Nationale just polled the most votes in the regional elections with a strong anti-immigration stance. FN + Republican where 60% of the vote.

    Not sure on what basis Hopkins thinks she’d get a US residency visa

    Did @Northwind’s post dissapear ? I thought it made a lot of sense, you have to challenge Trump seriously

    I know this is pointless, but jambalaya – have you ever taken a look at a list of logical fallacies and thought about whether you might be guilty of some (or all) of them? Eg

    It’s nice that you have someone to share your echo chamber with.

    Indeed jamba, im sure I could guess who youd vote for in a French election!

    Which part of Parisien beliefs is Trump articulating ? that there are parts of Paris beyond the rule of law, where the gendarmes feat to tread or that all Muslims should be barred from entering the country?
    Or are you once again just projecting your own prejudices onto the world around you?

    Fwiw, the Parisien guy in my office, the next day said he was really glad that the immediate reaction of the French had been not to turn on all Muslims, he’d been to the bataclan many times and the girlfriend of his bandmate had escaped the edm gig.

    What I do find fascinating is that the Second Amendment is treated as some sacred text that must never be challenged

    Indeed, and yet, right there, in the name of it…Amendment…I think some folk need to look that word up.

    I think there’s a difference between “places I wouldn’t make a special trip to visit because they’re a bit rough” and “NO GO ZONES WHERE ARMED POLICE FEAR DECAPITATION”.
