The Liberal Lie of the "Semi-Fascist" Trump

[JGalt]

Nothing could be farther from the truth. We all know who the real fascists are.

The Strangest Thing About "Semi-Fascist" Trump​

"Of the last three presidents, Trump was either the most indifferent or the most obstructed when it came to using government agencies for his own partisan political advantages or to neuter his enemies.

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 democracy.

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?

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.

Did Trump blatantly use the national security apparatus of the government to enhance his own reelection bid in 2020?

Was Trump ever caught on a hot mic promising a Russian president that he would try to ease Russian worries about Eastern European missile defense if only the Russians would give him space during his 2012 campaign for president against Mitt Romney?

Did Trump weaponize the FBI? That is, did the FBI go after journalists, former Obama officials, or Democratic Party activists who variously were attacking Don Jr. or Ivanka on the pretenses of retrieving one of their lost laptops or diaries?

Are there texts of Trump-era FBI agents talking about how to “stop” Hillary Clinton’s or Biden’s election bid?

Did the Trump Justice Department start an investigation of the suspected illegal lobbying of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, who used the former’s political connections to win large cash payments from foreign governments?

Did Trump order an FBI raid on the Obama home, on rumors that there were thousands of documents under dispute with the National Archives in his possession, especially given the Obama record of fiercely fighting any Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to release his documents?

Was Jake Sullivan’s phone grabbed by the FBI at an airport to determine his role in the Russian collusion hoax?

Are there now any former Trump loyalists who, as “anonymous” officials in cabinet agencies or obstructionists on the National Security Council, are writing op-eds about their stealthy daily efforts to undermine Biden’s executive orders or his administration’s action?

Are there now “50 former intelligence officials” who signed affidavits in support of Trump’s allegations about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop?

Between 2017 and 2020, did Trump’s team systematically seek to change the voting laws in key states to radically transform traditional balloting, in a mail-in or early voting revolution, in which only 30 percent of the electorate would vote on Election Day?

Was there any “dark money” effort analogous to the efforts of corporate and tech money along with DNC activists and Biden operators in what Time magazine’s Molly Ball described as a “conspiracy” to ensure the defeat of Trump’s opponent?

How about Trump’s efforts to revolutionize the very system of government? Did he promote a court-packing scheme to ensure he might not just get a 5-4 majority, but perhaps an 11-4 conservative advantage in a new 15-justice Supreme Court?

Did he dream up ways of getting rid of the Electoral College so the “blue wall” might never return?

Did Trump as president meet with CIA and FBI directors who, in their weekly and daily briefings, apprised him of efforts to monitor, spy, and infiltrate the campaign of Joe Biden?

The strange thing about Trump was that he did not use extraordinary powers to investigate anyone unlawfully. He boasted, he railed, he screamed, he whined, he became at times crude and obnoxious. But he did not use the FBI, the CIA, the Justice Department, or the IRS to go after the Obamas, the Clintons, or the Bidens.

In fact, of the last three presidents, Trump was either the most inept or indifferent, or the most obstructed concerning any issue of using government agencies for his own partisan political advantages or to neuter his enemies. "

It's called "projection"....It's essential in order to be a liberoidal.

It is projection. But why is it so effective when Democrats use it so much?

You'd think after crying "Wolf" so many times, people would just ignore them.

The base has a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.

This applies to republicans too, who continually fall for skunks like Karl Rove, Nikki Haley, Mittens Romney, Eyepatch McCain, the Bushes, et. al.

Trump has adopted a personality that is similar to Hitler because he wants to appeal to the same kind of people. These are white men who are angry about their circumstances in life, and who prefer to direct that anger horizontally and downward at non whites, liberals,and sometimes Jews, rather than upward toward rich white men.

Trump is not as dangerous as Hitler because he is much older, and because his life has been generally satisfying and rewarding to him. Hitler suffered as a young man. This gave him a vast reservoir of hatred that Trump lacks.

Democrat voters love that projection. It’s everything they want just from the communist side.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. We all know who the real fascists are.

No you don’t.

You don’t understand the first thing about what fascism is.

For starters, it’s nationalistic.

Most importantly, it adheres to a mythological history of the nation that they seek to return to. Their grievance is that the national strength has been sapped by elements in the country that need to be eliminated and external forces that need to be dominated.

It abhors weakness. They speak only in terms of demonstrating strength. The military is venerated because it is a sign of strength. They abhor liberal democracy because it is a sign of weakness.

Fascism destroys the concept of truth. Truth cannot come from outside voices. It can only come from the leaders. Outside voices seek to destroy the strength of the nation. The leaders are exalted above all others. Only the leaders can return us to strength that was taken.

Fascism does not have a specific policy. The state policy flows from whatever the leaders need to return their state to their idea of strength. It is typically isolationist or resists international markets and free trade. Private interests are fine, as long as they serve the nation above all else.

Fascism is many things. It’s hard to pin down.

But it’s definitely a path Trump has taken at least a few steps towards.

Biden, 'The Great Uniter', insults half of Americans by calling them 'Fascists'....

...proving from the lowest of snowflakes to the highest ranking Democrat, Democrats continuously call others what THEY are and accuse them of doing what THEY have done, are doing, & will do.

Did he though? Who instituted the get the vaccine or lose your job mandate? Who tried to set up a ministry of truth to promote the government opinion over yours? Who has just doubled the size of the IRS? Who has used the DOJ as a political police force?

It’s interesting how the democrats hate fascism, and will do anything to destroy someone who doesn’t agree with them.

Yup, Rump is also incompetent. I usually refer to him as a fuhrer but he really is an El Duce.

Hot air and bombast but not much else.

Vaccine mandates are limited to Medicare funded facilities and have nothing to do with fascism.

Combating disinformation is critical. No one was denying anyone freedom of speech, just attempting to provide counter narrative do disinformation. Not fascism and also never actually enacted.

The IRS isn’t doubling in size. It’s a lie. Second, the IRS needs to get bigger. Have you ever tried to call them to get help on your taxes? Definitely not fascism.

Last, the DoJ is not a political police force. They happen to arrest and charge Republicans because, I know this is crazy, sometimes Republicans commit crimes.

Interesting ... while Democrats demand everyone be like them, agree with then, and follow or be destroyed / killed .... like Hitler.

Fact Sheet: Biden Administration Announces Details of Two Major Vaccination Policies | The White House

New OSHA and CMS Rules Mean Two-Thirds of All Workers Now Covered by Vaccination Rules Thanks to President Biden’s focus on getting Americans vaccinated, 70 percent of adult Americans are now fully vaccinated—up from less than one percent when the President took office. This is significant...

Idiot.

87,000 new IRS agents doubles the size from what it is today. It’s simple math you fucking retard. And no they aren’t there to “help you” with your taxes unless that help means helping you pay more.
