It provides no way to distinguish between when the thing is happening and when it isn't. If people say you're an alarmist, by what mechanism do you evaluate whether they're correct?
Except that argument admits a means to evaluate it. You take the thing repeated ad nauseam and subject it to an evidentiary requirement. Are people actually being held without habeas corpus? Are people actually being executed based on their ethnicity? If anything in this nature is happening, has the rate of it significantly increased recently or has it been going on for decades?
The last question is pretty important if your argument is "Trump is a fascist and all we have to do is get him out", because then that argument is erroneous and you have to actually change the status quo instead of returning to it.
He never does. If you go through his comment history all he does is shill for Germany and EU how they're the best, and shit on Trump and the US how they're the worst and that's it. He never has any arguments beyond appeals to emotional manipulation of "look at the fascists" based on fake or one sided articles. Best treat him as a troll.
