New Democrat bumper-sticker: "Speak Up And Be Put Down!"
Where have we seen this in recent history?
You know where.
7. " ...the raids here were in some ways worse even than the abusive raids we so often see in the drug war and other criminal investigations.
Here
, the [Democrat/Liberal] DA was often investigating “crimes” that weren’t crimes at all but rather constitutionally protected issue advocacy.
Even when the DA was ostensibly investigating actual potential criminal misconduct, his
targets were chosen not so much on the basis of actual evidence but rather proximity to the hated Scott Walker.
Also, few (if any) victims of unjust police raids are slapped with secrecy orders that prevent them from not only defending themselves publicly but also from sharing the burden of the experience with friends and family."

It is not the methods of fascism that Democrats deny....it is only the name.
" Fascism did not acquire an evil name in Washington until Hitler became a menace to·the Soviet Union."
Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p. 48
Why yes, the religious right would have public trails and sentencing for those blasphemers if they had their whey...Might even put slogans about Gawd on our money...
This is the typical post of an apologist for Democrat's espousing fascism
a. You were afraid to comment on the OP....I'll call that an endorsement of Chisholm.
b. you engage in the default of every Liberal/Progressive/Democrat...and, as shown in the thread....fascist.
This bald-faced lie: 'the religious right would have public trails and sentencing for those blasphemers if they had their whey..."
You have truly become a bottom-feeder.

14 Elements of Fascism DRUDGE RETORT
You understgand there is no standard definition of fascism, right? BUt it does seem to be opposed to individual liberty, and exalts the power of the state in solving problems. So today's Dems certainly qualify.
There may not be a comprehensive definition, but there are certainly examples of fascist thought to be cited:
"We have founded a system based on the most sincere foundation there is, namely: Form your life yourself! Work for your existence! Help yourself and God will help you!"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech in Wilhelmshaven (Apr. 1, 1939)
"Let no one say that the picture produced as a first impression of human civilization is the impression of its achievement as a whole. This whole edifice of civilization is in its foundations and in all its stones nothing else than the result of the creative capacity, the achievement, the intelligence, the industry, of individuals: in its greatest triumphs it represents the great crowning achievement of individual God-favored geniuses"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to Dusseldorf Industry Club (Jan. 27, 1932)
"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith"
-- Adolf Hitler; at Nazi-Vatican Concordat (Apr. 26, 1933)
"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life"
-- Adolf Hitler; from national proclamation (Feb. 1, 1933)
"Whereas previously the programs of the liberal, intellectualist women's movements contained many points, the program of our National Socialist Women's movement has in reality but one single point, and that point is the child, that tiny creation which must be born and grow strong and which alone gives meaning to the whole life-struggle"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to the NS Frauenschaft (Sept. 8, 1934
"The Winterhilfswerk... was to call on the Volk to help itself. We could have done things differently. Instead of appealing to the Volk's willingness to sacrifice, we could have directed our appeal to the taxpayer. We consciously and deliberately did not do so because we wanted to educate the German Volk to come together in this common sacrifice, and therein to begin to understand the nature of the community; to comprehend the duties this community demands of us and to satisfy these of our own free accord without relying on the taxpayer."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech at Berlin Sportpalast (October 10, 1939)
"Generation after generation of our Volk will march on thus in our history,
with this banner always in mind, this banner that places us under an obligation
to our Volk, its honor, its freedom, and our community — to our truly National
Socialist fraternity. They will then consider it only natural that this German Volk takes but the one path Providence has bade it take by giving these people a common language. We, therefore, go our way into the future with the deepest belief in God. Would all we have achieved been possible had Providence not helped us? I know that the fruits of human labor are hard-won and transitory if they are not blessed by the Omnipotent. Work such as ours which has received the blessings of the Omnipotent can never again be undone by mere mortals."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech at Regensburg City Hall (June 6, 1937)
"The catchword 'Women's Liberation' is merely a phrase invented by the Jewish intellect, and its contents are marked by the same spirit. The German woman will never need to emancipate herself in an age supportive of German life."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to NS Frauenschaft (September 8, 1934)
"I am also religious, profoundly religious on the inside, and I believe that Providence weighs human beings. Those who do not pass the trials imposed by Providence, who are broken by them, are not destined by Providence for greater things. It is a natural necessity that only the strong remain after this selection."
-- Adolf Hitler; from Munich Löwenbräukeller (November 8, 1943)
"The life of the people must be freed from the asphyxiating perfume of our modern eroticism, as it must be from unmanly and prudish refusal to face facts. In all these things the aim and the method must be governed by the thought of preserving our nation's health both in body and soul"
-- from 'Mein Kampf'
"My German Volksgenossen, we have a great deal to rectify before our own history and before our eternal Lord. Providence had withdrawn its protection from us. Our Volk had fallen, plunging to a depth to which a Volk has rarely fallen before. In this difficult plight we have once again learned how to pray; we have learned to respect our Lord; we have regained our faith in the virtues of a Volk, and have endeavored to be better again."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech in Cologne (March 28, 1936)
"In this hour, let us thank the Almighty who has blessed our paths in the past, and let us pray to Him: may He lead us forth onto the path of righteousness in the future as well."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech in Eger (October 3, 1938)
"I know that Heaven does not bestow perfection upon men. Their lot is to earn all, hard and painfully. And I know that today this great goal is far from being achieved in full. But we strive for it with burning hearts, and Heaven and Providence have blessed our efforts."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech in Saarbriicken (March 1, 1935)
"as long as we are loyal, honest and courageous in battle, as long as we believe in our great cause and do not capitulate, we will continue to enjoy the blessing of Providence."
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech in Rosenheim (August 11, 1935)
"Today I must bow down in thanks to Providence, whose mercy has enabled me, once an unknown soldier in the World War, to thus help our Volk to win the battle for the restoration of its honor and uprightness"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to the Reichstag (January 30, 1937)
"means for preventing a birth are offered for sale in every chemist's shop... what is in practice a cessation of fecundity in millions of our best people is not regarded as an evil or an offense against the morals of this sanctimonious society; it is instead a sop to its short-sighted slackness of thought. For if it were otherwise, they would have to rack their brains and consider how to make provision for nourishing and conserving the healthy representatives of our nation, who should perform a similar service for the benefit of generations to come."
-- from 'Mein Kampf'
"Were it not for the pact which the Center and the middle classes have entered into with Marxism as a result of their inner relatedness of character, there would be no red, anti-christian Germany today. Therefore they are the accursed accomplices of Bolshevism."
-- Adolf Hitler; from proclamation to Nazi Party (January 1, 1932)
"We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out."
-- Adolf Hitler, from speech in Berlin (October 24, 1933)
I see you require a lesson in the totalitarian confluence......You should pick up Berman's "Terror and Liberalism," in which you will find the following:
1. Each of the movements adopted the same set of rites and symbols to express that ideal: crowds chanting en masse, the monumental architecture, the insistence on unquestioning belief in preposterous doctrines.
a. Each of the totalitarian movements chose its own monochrome symbol, representing the oneness of authority, in red, brown or black.
b. Each donned the identical uniform, - a shirt of red, brown or black.
c. Each recounted a theory about history and mankind, explaining the movement’s goals and actions.
2. The mythology of all of them, curiously enough, was based on the New Testament, specifically the Book of Revelation of St. John the Devine.
a. There is a people of God, and these are under attack, both from within (the city dwellers of Babylon, who have sunk into abominations) and from without (by the forces of Satan).
b. Resistance will result in the war of Armageddon…with the extermination of the evil ones. As will the devil’s force! But not without horrifying destruction.
c. Then, there will be the reign of Christ for a thousand years.
3. An “Ur-myth,” is a myth so ancient and so all-encompassing that it has become an irreducible part of the human experience, and is the basis for the tales that seem to give a patina of relevance to the movements. It is this ur-myth that represents the origins of the movement-myths, in its modern versions.
a. Sometime after the First World War, the Babylon-Armageddon made its way into political theory. Each version had a people of God, under attack. There was the proletariat for the Bolsheviks and Stalinists; the children of the Roman wolf for
Mussolini’s Fascists; the Warriors of Christ the King for Franco’s Phalange, and the Aryan race for the Nazis.
b. There were always subversive dwellers of Babylon, good at trading various commodities, polluting society with their abominations. Bourgeoisie, kulaks, Freemasons and cosmopolitans, and, always, Jews. Aided, of course, by Satanic forces, variously identified as capitalists, or Americans and their technology ( Heidegger’s Nazi interpretation) or the international Jewish conspiracy.
c. The reign of God was always just ahead. The Age of the Proletariat (Bolsheviks and Stalinists); the resurrected Roman Empire (Fascists); the reign of Christ the King (Spanish Phalange); or a blond Aryan version of the Roman Empire, called the Third Reich (Nazis).
d. And the period of grace was going to be pure and perfect- cleansed of pollutants and abominations. Purity of unexploited labor (Bolsheviks and Stalinists); purity of Roman Grandeur (Fascists); the purity of Catholic virtue (Phalange); or the biological purity of Aryan blood (Nazis). And, always, to last for a thousand years: a perfect society- no flaws, no competition, no turmoil.
e.
Of course, for all of the movements, it would be a one-party, unchallenged state, representing the final unity of mankind.
f. And the leader…a superman, a genius of geniuses,
the one predicted by history, godlike- thrilling his worshipful followers… perhaps establishing a new religion….
g. Always, before the reign, there was going to be the war of Armageddon- the exterminating bloodbath! The class war (Bolsheviks and Stalinists); the Crusade (Fascists); of the race war (Nazis).
Revelation 19:21 “And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse,…”
Did you note how neatly Obama's variety of totalitarian fits in there?
