I didn't vote for Trump, don't live in the US, wouldn't have voted for Trump, and am not a fascist, so I don't understand the objection. But even if I were any or all of those things, I would not require your permission to post here.
It is worth noting that you are the one in this exchange seeking to establish authoritarian control.
You're supporting the actions of the regime and seemingly echoing a lot of their propaganda. For the purposes of my statement, this makes you a de facto Trumpist. Specifically, the problem is that you're railing directly against the assumptions that were set out to have a productive conversation.
I am not "seeking to establish authoritarian control". I am pointing out that you are being disruptive to good-faith productive conversations. The only reason you seemingly responded to my initial comment was to engage in ideological battle. It's like when someone barges into a discussion about Python, asserting that Python sucks and everyone should use PHP instead. Regardless of whether they have a point or not, it's not particularly germane to conversation for the people who wanted to be talking about Python.
