Half the country sees former President Donald Trump as a fascist, amplifying concerns raised in recent days by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump’s own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris.

Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, again more than say so about Harris. But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn’t intend to carry out – underscoring challenges for both candidates as the fur flies in their increasingly heated presidential race.

    A good chunk of Trump’s cancer is caused by terrible left wing policy.

    I hate Trump and everything about the far right, but I can understand people falling in love with the idea of a strongman who will cut through bullshit and do what people want.

    The left is supposed to mitigate income inequality, and make life good for their citizens.

    Both left/right idealogies are entirely owned by corporate interests across the globe - this is the crux of the entire issue.

    The problems facing the middle class are entirely artificial and intentional. There are a myriad of reasons, but the end result is that we have one societies/laws/reality for the wealthy, and a completely different set of rules for the population.

    The left promises to solve everything with equality and the right promises to resolve everything with hierarchy.

    Neither idealogy has any intention of doing anything but funnel as much money/power to big business until their political careers are done.

    The obvious difference is the “Right” idealogies are objectively bad for everyone but the ultra wealthy. Unfortunately being ultra wealthy gives you the ability to own national anti-reality propaganda networks.
