Hi Steven, Concerning fascism - is Trump fascist? - cf. this talk of Badiou, "Reflexion on the recent election": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRnUpVLc31w in which he speaks about a "democratic fascism."�
Maybe it's not the best way to define the current situation but, again, my question is less "who" is D Trump � bu �t� what he does �, with whom he is going to work and so on. Concerning the military aspect of his politics�, let's bet that he will not stop the over-militarization of the country. And the over-militarization of a society, especially when it targets a specific kind of population (black people, natives), is a perfect tool to set the ultra-liberal agenda up - an agenda that you described very well. �Best, Frederic� 2016-11-21 15:19 GMT-06:00 Kurtz, Steven <[email protected]>: I tried to resist this thread, but ultimately cannot. Just a few points. Are the republicans voters racist? I think the vast majority are not (although that still leaves millions that are). What most republican voters are is indifferent to racism. If taxes get cut, and it comes with a dash of racism--OK. If regulations on business will be lifted, and it comes with a dash of racism--OK. If guns can be owned and existing regulations are loosened, and it comes with a dash of racism--OK. If small business will get a break, and it comes with a dash of racism--OK. There are many reasons right leaning people are voting as they are. <...>
