To categorize the CPC and Poilievre into this is a huge stretch and just fringe fearmongering. That level of overexaggerating to say he's an outright fascist just puts you in the same fringe levels as the freedumb convoy folks calling Trudeau and Singh commies quite frankly and simply does not represent the majority of the average Canadian views. It's simply not worth discussing such types of opinions who is trying to convince us that center right conservative party is fascist. Would you go in genuine discussion with anyone claiming the Liberals or NDP to be communist?

Do you know what “rhetoric” means? Because that’s what we’re discussing. Keep up kiddo.

Nobody is calling PP a fascist, nor are they calling the CPC party fascist. In fact, saying “that level of overexaggerating to say he's an outright fascist” is hilarious considering:

We can probably all agree that PP isn’t actually a fascist (yet) and that his election will (likely) not signal Canada’s descent into fascism… while also being intellectual and well-read enough to recognize fascist rhetoric and his use of it.

That’s… not outright calling anyone a fascist, is it? Unless you think “we can all agree he’s not a fascist” is secret code for “He’S aN OuTrIgHt FASCISSSST!!” lol.

You wouldn’t feel like you were being condescended to if you actually paid attention to the conversation instead of letting your blood boil over the second someone isn’t frothing at the mouth about Trudeau with you.

And, to help you out, I already pointed out the difference between acknowledging fascist rhetoric and calling someone a fascist:

The idea that you’re not allowed to recognize fascist rhetoric is broadly idiotic. Hitler and Trump both used similar playbooks to get to power and appeal to the population. That doesn’t mean Trump = Hitler. Pointing out that PP is borrowing from the same playbook does not mean that PP = Trump = Hitler, either. PP doesn’t need to start an insurrection or get a concentration camp rolling for people to be able to point out fascist rhetoric.

So, once again, if you want to read instead of projecting your fit of emotions onto everyone else, you’ll feel less like people think you’re a pleb. But hey, you said yourself it wasn’t worth discussing while a few of us had a pretty interesting conversation about it, moved on, and then you brought it back to that with arms waving. Apparently you really, really wanted to discuss it lol.

Here’s me jumping up in down and anger because people brought up Trudeau not attending stampede:

What’s the probability that people complaining about Trudeau not coming to the Stampede have also complained about Trudeau coming to the Stampede in the past?

I sure sounded fired up there. My goodness. The funny part of this, of course, is that another former MP spoke out against Trudeau, and instead of discussing that you… went back to the fascism conversation… which we’d moved on from.

“Classic.”

You guys are going to have a really, really tough time when Trudeau is gone and you can’t paint everyone that is having a conversation you don’t like as Trudeau supporters. Keep crying about “the usuals” I guess.



Us “usuals” just call it having a conversation. Sorry you’re so scared every time we pop up. It’s a pretty small community.
