The actual fascists are the democrats....who have now turned the FBI and the IRS into the parties gestapo........but here is Victor Davis Hanson explaining that Trump wasn't even close to being a fascist.....
He goes on at some length.....
But to quantify those charges, what exactly has Trump done extralegally—as opposed to his bombast and braggadocio about what he might have wished to have done?
And what are the standards by which to judge this supposed menace? Did Trump illegally and with a mere signature nullify over $300 billion of contracted student loans—to firm up his college-student and college-graduate base nine weeks before the midterm elections?
Did Donald Trump weaponize the feared IRS, the logical place to find fascistic tendencies of any president bent on using government to punish his enemies? Did he push through a plan to add 87,000 new IRS investigative agents at a time of national discord?
For the last five years, Trump was rumored to be under investigation by the IRS. Currently, his accountant is facing felony sentencing for advising improper write-offs.
Certainly, from the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop and the remarks of Hunter’s associates like Tony Bobulinksi, the Biden family raked in millions of foreign dollars. Evidence so far suggests Joe Biden was a recipient (as the “Big Guy”) of 10 percent of these quid pro quopayments. At times, Bobulinksi may have sent a strapped and broke Hunter thousands of dollars in cash gifts. Were any of these stealthy transactions taxed? Does the recently heavily Biden-endowed IRS care?
If Trump wished to abuse his power over the IRS, he would have followed the Obama model of weaponizing it during a reelection year to go after his ideological enemies.
In Obama’s case, the tax agency slow-walked or denied nonprofit status for groups whose ideology was deemed not helpful to Obama’s campaign in 2012. There was a reason Lois Lerner invoked the Fifth Amendment, and it was not to protect Donald Trump.
For the Left, Donald Trump is synonymous with “fascism” (or “semi-fascism,” as Joe Biden put it the other day). And for Liz Cheney and most of the NeverTrumpers, he remains an existential threat to…

The Republicans are the fascists. Victor Davis Hanson is a fascist.
The FBI and IRS are not gestapo. Trump and the Republican Party are the fascists.
There is no evidence that Biden's cancellation of some student loan debt is illegal. Republicans are angry that some low income and middle income people might get a helping hand. The student loan industry is corrupt as they have pushed people into forbearance rather than income based repayment plans. That is okay with Republicans. In addition there is no outrage over big tax cuts for the rich.
Those 87,000 workers are going to re[;ace workers who are retiring over the years. They will process tax returns and refunds. They will answer taxpayer questions. Some will ensure that the rich are following the tax laws. As the number of audits have dropped, tax evasion by the rich has increased. Apparently breaking tax laws are okay with you fascists.
Trump says he has been audited for the last 5 years. We have no independent knowledge of this. If his accountant is facing sentencing then the audits were justified.
Joe Biden has released his tax returns so we know where his money comes from. Trump was President for 4 years after Biden left office. They found no evidence of tax evasion. Was Joe Biden exerting Jedi mind control over the IRS? This is typical when you have no evidence. If he lied about me that way, I would kick his butt.
The IRS went after both liberal and conservative groups. Conservatives don't use keywords such as "progressive" or "green energy" in their names.
Republicans on the other hand are making it harder to vote. They are rigging districts so there is no competition. In Ohio, voters passed a law banning gerrymandering. The crooked GOP ignored the state supreme court's attempt to enforce it and found a crooked Trump judge. In Michigan, Republicans are desperately trying to keep voter initiatives to enshrine abortion rights and make it easier to vote. In Arizona, a crooked Republican Supreme Court is doing the same thing. Trump tried to use the DOJ and even to military to keep himself in power.
In addition, Republicans are attempting to enforce Christian doctrine at the point of a gun. The church can ignore state governments and even federal governments thanks to a fascist Supreme Court.
It is clear who the fascists are. Donald Trump, Victor David Hansen, and Trump supporters like you.
