You know, I’d laugh if it wasn’t so depressing how many will believe it yet not research fascism or reflect on how much fun they had skipping that topic in school.
Edit: while advocating for a fascist government.
The Republican use of the “fascist” accusation is entirely about muddying the waters to imply it’s just meaningless political noise. Same way “fake news” followed people rightfully pointing out that conservatives were getting actual fake news.
Or the GQO calling peaceful protests about Gaza insurrections and exactly the same as Jan 6th. Fascism needs to muddy the waters to drum up as much support as possible. Keep people dumb and angry.
They did the same thing about BLM and J6 - saying J6 was just peaceful protest, mocking what was said about BLM - which actually had 93% peaceful protests (a stat they ridicule, of course - and of course ignore all the agent provocateurs that instigated violence at BLM marches).
It’s always projection. Always.
And a lot of the ones projecting know damn well what they’re doing: accuse your enemy of doing the things you’re doing (or planning to do).
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump campaign released an ad campaign tomorrow that looked like this with no hint of irony:
“I know because I’m the guy that helped it turn that corner!”
Normalization in action.
More projection.
With conservatives it’s always fucking projection.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump gave a rambling speech at Trump Tower on Friday, blasting the US as a “fascist state,” as political pundits ponder the fallout from his historic conviction – which he has already vowed to appeal.
Trump became the first US president to be criminally convicted on Thursday, but said he would “continue to fight” the decision.
Speaking to the press and assembled supporters on Friday, Trump claimed witnesses were “literally crucified” in his case as he slammed the judge yet again as being “highly conflicted” and a “tyrant.”
Family members including his daughter, Ivanka, son Barron, and former first lady, Melania, were reportedly present at Trump Tower on Friday.
The family is understood to have later gone to his club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
A jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of an election conspiracy that involved covering up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, whose story of an affair threatened to derail his 2016 presidential campaign.
The original article contains 181 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 7%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
You’re telling me he thinks fascism is bad? Like he is ani-fascist? Kinda like… Antifa??.. Trump is part of Antifa???
This is a strategy of fascism, they take meaning from words.
Example: the first few weeks when the term “fake news” was in reference to Trump disinformation, not in service of Trump disinformation.
I mean, literally: “Trump gives Antifa speech outside his home.”
& Adolf Hitler was calling Churchill “a firebrand” & a threat to Europe.
Gaslighting is something that machiavellians do.
He’s not wrong. Someone enabling fascism is just as guilty as the fascist. Fascism can never rise in power without a weak liberal party enabling them.
Well the National Socialists were fascist and Biden is socialist and head of a nation.
I have nipples Greg. Can you milk me?
technically males can lactate fyi
I can try, babe.
Biden is socialist
LMAO
Not a day goes by that I don’t wish that Biden were as far to the left as the GOP pretends he is.
I’d settle for Biden being half as progressive as Democrats keep insisting he is.
Right? If fuckin only
/s?
