Some absolutely awful posts the past few pages. We should really be talking about a former defense minister selling out his own country's interests for campaign donations as is in the news, but alas we're likening vanilla bland boring politicians to Hitler and Trump.

If PP is 'fascist' then literally everyone has fascist tendencies and the term loses it's entire meaning.

You can pretty much dismiss any post when they try to compare a Canadian conservative politician to Nazism, fascism etc, and blanket liken them to a US Republican President / Presidential Candidate. It's an old trope as old as time itself and is an emotional, factless appeal to anti-Americanism. In the 2000s it was attacking Harper for his 'Bush-style' tactics. It's a lazy association to slander without doing any work to talk about anything concrete or factual. All it tells you is that a poster is clearly deeply partisan or anti-conservative and offers nothing of value.

Same thing goes for people hammering on Trudeau for being 'communist.' Trudeau isn't a communist nor is Jagmeet Singh. Those comparisons are simply partisan hacks and can be entirely dismissed.
