The Federalist comes out as full on fascist proponent

[citygator]

The Federalist lifts its mask and goes full fascist.

The Cincinnatus reference at the end makes very clear what they want here. They want an authoritarian regime that represses all people with whom they disagree. They want to persecute LGBTQ individuals, they want to suppress free speech, and they want to arrest large swaths of people for having views these fascists dislike. Unhinged is the best way to describe it.

We Need To Stop Calling Ourselves Conservatives

The conservative project has failed, and conservatives need to forge a new political identity that reflects our revolutionary moment.

thefederalist.com

Put bluntly, if conservatives want to save the country they are going to have to rebuild and in a sense re-found it, and that means getting used to the idea of wielding power, not despising it. Why? Because accommodation or compromise with the left is impossible. One need only consider the speed with which the discourse shifted on gay marriage, from assuring conservatives ahead of the 2015 Obergefell decision that gay Americans were only asking for toleration, to the never-ending persecution of Jack Phillips.

The left will only stop when conservatives stop them, which means conservatives will have to discard outdated and irrelevant notions about “small government.” The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.

On the transgender question, conservatives will have to repudiate utterly the cowardly position of people like David French, in whose malformed worldview Drag Queen Story Hour at a taxpayer-funded library is a “blessing of liberty.” Conservatives need to get comfortable saying in reply to people like French that Drag Queen Story Hour should be outlawed; that parents who take their kids to drag shows should be arrested and charged with child abuse; that doctors who perform so-called “gender-affirming” interventions should be thrown in prison and have their medical licenses revoked; and that teachers who expose their students to sexually explicit material should not just be fired but be criminally prosecuted.

To those who worry that power corrupts, and that once the right seizes power it too will be corrupted, they certainly have a point. If conservatives manage to save the country and rebuild our institutions, will they ever relinquish power and go the way of Cincinnatus? It is a fair question, and we should attend to it with care after we have won the war.

That's not at all what the article said. But you don't need to worry, the depravity of man will become worse and worse.

I simply linked and pasted unedited what it says. It says what it says.

Rejecting the evil policies of the radical left isn’t fascism.

All you idiots have is calling everyone a “fascist” or “Nazi”, you defend any of the insane issues your party is pushing. You support child mutilation and castration. You support faggot trannies doing drag shows for kids.

 

[johngaltshrugged]

So you point to a single editorial posted & think that proves your point?

I agree with much of what he says- there is no compromise with the deranged ideology of the left.
Whether it is forced medical experiments, genitalia mutilations & grooming for our children, the fake science of masks, lockdowns or AWG, censorship & cancel culture, Cloward/Piven printing of fiat money & spending our way to insolvency, "green energy" pipe dreams, election fraud, political persecutions, endless wars, gender dysphoria, etc...

You can't compromise with evil without the evil infecting you.

That said, we need a smaller govt, so his idea of a more powerful fed is a non-starter.
I say we stop the left & the FEDS in their tracks & send them scurrying back to the snake holes where they belong.
Then we can live & let live without Big Brother watching or telling us what to do

So... they want to act like Democrats.
As such, you don''t object to these particular uses of power, just the ends to which the means are exercised.
Yawn.

Let's truly be honest, you're an abject partisan with no ability to think for yourself.

The above line also reveals your fear of dissenting thought. We don't want to "repress" anyone. We want you and your side to mind their own damn business. We'll drive what we want, we'll set our thermostats to whatever we want, we won't take your damn shot, and we'll tell you to EFF off when you want to but in. The minute a moron like you throws out words like "Fascism" and "Nazi" you've lost credibility. You want to get along and co-exist? Stay in your own lane and we'll stay in ours.

Do you understand what an "opinion piece" is?
Apparently not.

Absolutely true, as the left does not seek compromise; rather it demands acquiescence.
Why should the right be different?

The left will only stop when conservatives stop them, which means conservatives will have to discard outdated and irrelevant notions about “small government.” The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.

I recall noting many, many years ago: Conservatives only slow the American slide to the left; no one pulls back to the right.
Moving us back to a libertarian/classical-liberal right would indeed be “revolutionary” for our side,
How does this happen? The exercise of political power.

No one made you take a shot. It’s stupid not to. 13 Texas police officers died this year. 2022 from Covid. None of them had to take the shot. You’re scared of what’s not happening. That’s how they controls you. Through fear.

Yawn.

Cop out. The numbers aren’t there to support the republicans initiatives so they resort to fascism. It won’t last. It never does. The payback will be a bitch.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Cop out.

Good of you to admit you don't object to these particular uses of power, just the ends to which the means are exercised.
