• Semi-fascist?

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 28 10:48:01 2022
    It looks like President Potato Head might be running out of fucks
    to give. But, I want to know what in the hell is "semi" about the retrumplican's fascist cult? What's the difference between them and any
    other garden variety fascists?

    "President Biden on Thursday offered some harsh words about those of the “extreme MAGA philosophy” currently hacking away at our democracy.

    “It’s not just Trump,” he said at a fundraiser. “It’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something: It’s like semi-fascism.”

    “The MAGA Republicans,” he said, are “a threat to our very democracy. They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace — embrace — political violence.”

    Good for him. Those who cherish democracy need to call out the
    proto-fascist tendencies now seizing the Trump-occupied GOP.

    Republican candidates up and down the November ballot reject the
    legitimate outcome of the last election — and are making it easier to
    reject the will of the voters in the next. Violent anti-government
    rhetoric from party leaders targets the FBI, the Justice Department and
    the IRS. A systemic campaign of disinformation makes their supporters
    feel victimized by shadowy “elites.” These are hallmarks of authoritarianism."

    Where in hell was this sentiment when antifa and blm were destroying
    cities? Typical liberal hypocritical disinformation. Remember the leftists motto - accuse your enemies of that which you are doing yourself.

    The MAGA people are not a threat to democracy or, more important, our representative government. What they are a threat to are the evil and
    corrupt democrat politicians who wish to rule rather than govern.

    Nothing "semi" about the fascist in the OrangeTreasonWeasel. He just went for the full fuhrer in Wisconsin with, “This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country. REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and
    this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!”
