Dear Trumpie Quiz: Are You a Fascist?

This handy 14 point article summarizes 14 key points to being a fascist! Think deeply about whether you personally believe in any of these 14 items. This 14 item list reads like Donald Trump’s daily checklist of things to do.

So here’s a highly scientific, very poorly designed quiz for you Trumpies, based on these 14 elements:

1. Do you find yourself often thinking back romantically about the 1970s or 1980s, when America was really great?
2. Do you believe big tech, while decidedly in the capitalist tradition, is a scourge on the planet that needs to be stopped so that we can go back to the pre-big tech era?
3. Do you believe that liberals and technocrats think too much and often ignore the need to just act and see what happens?
4. When Trump says a former staffmember on his team is terrible or awful just after that staffmember shows any signs of disagreement, do you find yourself agreeing that Trump needs to have his own loyal troops who agree with him on all the key points?
5. Are you afraid of the situation at the border?
6. Do you feel frustrated and humiliated by liberal elites and mainstream media, and afraid of the black and latino and muslim and indian and chinese people who seem to be making a lot of headway in America?
7. Do you believe the election was stolen?
8. Do you believe immigrants are both super dangerous and terribly weak and reliant on the government?
9. Do you believe Biden is wimpy and not strong enough to really do the right thing in Afghanistan?
10. Did you notice the term wimpy in that previous question or do you think that’s totally an appropriate characterization of Biden?
11. Is Trump a hero for you? Does he possess some kind of superhuman exceptional leadership capability that other humans and certainly politicians do not have?
12. Do you believe Trump is the right man for the job because he is man enough to know what is best and see through the bull?
13. Do you believe in the basic idea of MAGA, that the old American populations knew what they were doing and had it right, and everything that has happened recently is a decline in society?
14. Are MAGA, Build the Wall, Lock Her Up useful summaries of key issues that face our society?

Scoring: Give yourself one point for each yes answer. Results: 1-3 Yesses: You have protofascist inclinations, but you aren’t that bad and can still survive in a modern democratic multicultural society. Your 20 year old niece doesn’t like to talk to you at Christmas. 4-6 Yesses: You are decidedly a fascist. Your fear and loathing of people who aren’t like you is terrible, and yet you still can get by if you just ignore most of society’s rules, most of the time. 7-9 Yesses: Check in for your Kristallnacht gear at the next comfort station. You are onboard with stopping the rest of us from living our lives. But watch out, the people in the two categories below will come for you next. 10-12 Yesses: Nice job! Trump knows you have his back and will endorse his power, literally until the moment he executes your family! You will be safe in the Fascist States of America, at least until the people rise up and execute you in a few short years. 13-14 Yesses: Please leave this site immediately, and don’t ever come back. You are lost.
