Many liberal-minded people claim that Trump is a fascist, and that his presidency will likely result in a dictatorship. A major stumbling point with that argument, and one that is often used by conservative Trump supporters to counter the claim that he's a fascist is that he supports the 2nd amendment. How could someone who supports the citizens' rights to arm and protect themselves actually be a fascist?
This video clip offers a glimpse into how that can become possible after all. Trump is apparently still supporting the 2nd amendment as being absolute. For most of the lower-level conservative base, that's just fine and dandy and they don't need to hear any more. Furthermore, he's saying that we don't need more laws because there are already plenty of laws on the books now. They're just not being enforced. I wonder why they're not being enforced. It's most likely that they're not being enforced because they aren't enforceable. They are so vague that even law enforcement doesn't know when someone is or isn't breaking the law until it's too late. So, Trump doesn't see the need to straighten up those vague laws.
Instead, and this is the little peek at where the fascist comes in, he's going to tighten up the restrictions on the mentally ill, and those who are classified as being violently mentally ill. On the surface, this would seem to be a pretty good idea. However, there are many problems. First of all, it sounds like Trump is supporting attempts to pull "violently" mentally ill people off the streets completely. They, essentially, lose their freedoms because of something that is not in their control. That's blatantly unconstitutional. In fact, that actually gives guns more rights than those people. Secondly, this measure does not even bother to clarify how (or who) will be responsible for classifying someone as meeting the standards for being violently mentally ill. That is a whole can of worms there. There is no clarity in any way. So, this is already sounding like it opens up the appropriate wording so that if Trump or his government deem that you are violently mentally ill because they choose to, you are to be locked up and you will not be allowed freedoms.
This stuff is fascinating to watch. This video is from conservative news media too. I think it's hilarious how they just fall for the lines from a consummate con artist, and suddenly this is a breath of fresh air. Don't let your guard down for one second, folks! This man is … dangerous.

It's your right, though.
