As Republican Texas leaders show support for Trump’s mass deportation plans, undocumented people — some who have lived in America for decades — are weighing their options amid mounting fears.

    You have no idea what actual fascism is.

    Ending slavery for four million people is in no way fascism. The fact that this confuses you so much is predictable, because the anti-intellectual ragebait that you listen to preaches that fascism is a leftist movement.

    But I guess you believe that “work makes you free,” huh?

    Thanks for playing along, I couldn’t have asked for a better demonstration of the vacuousness of reactionary “thought.”

      You can’t even figure out that someone can do two different things in their life. Lincoln did a great thing by freeing the slaves. He also was a fascist by being a fascist. He suspended habeas corpus and mass jailed journalists. I don’t even know how to reword that to make it clearer.

        That’s because your pseudohistorical nonsense is bunk.

        Fascism isn’t just when an authority goes outside the bounds of the law. It’s a very specific reactionary ideology that harkens back to a mythical past and directs blame for imperial failures at minority populations within their control.

        Nothing about that describes anything about Abraham Lincoln’s ideology or behavior.

        In fact, it makes you look ridiculous and like you don’t know anything about reactionary ideology at all. It’s actually pretty funny if you think about it.

          Fascism has two bad parts to it. The totalitarianism and racism. Lincoln was being a totalitarian.

          It amazes me how you’re okay with totalitarianism so long as you’re oppressed equally.

            What a simplistic world view for a simplistic mind.

            You have no idea what fascism is. You’re a puppet for reactionaries and you don’t even know it.

            It’d be sad if you weren’t so loathsome all on your own.
