You’re a Fascist, and You in the Back Row, You’re a Fascist
I’m not sure that Kamala has enough dignity to be truly evil, but she’s working hard to get there.
My wife and I dropped off our ballots at the county election office yesterday, on the way to the grocery store. We voted for Trump, which checked off one of our boxes, the protect your wallet box.
The other box was voting against the anti-Catholic bigotry of a committed Marxist. From abortion to transgender surgery, and the desire to end religious exemptions for Catholic hospitals, doctors, and nurses to perform abortions or butcher children in an operating room.
When it comes to the economy, Mexican cartel drug and human trafficking have been big winners with the Biden-Harris administration. Class warfare against the middle class from inflation, school board meetings, and high crime rates are not virtuous achievements. Not all change is progress.
Finally, Kamala as Commander in Chief would be a total disaster. She is nothing more than a political hack from the Bay Area of California.
I’m reminded of an interview with a Marine Corps captain who was getting ready to begin the assault on Fallujah in Iraq. The reporter asked the captain what options the Iraqis had. He didn’t give a policy-wonk answer. His reply was simple: They could surrender or die. I don’t see a place for a captain like this if Harris is Commander in Chief.

The best part of the fascism meme is that Baldwin in WI and Casey in PA are running ads about how much they get along with Trump- so are they fascist too? How many Dems are fascist?
Are the Republicans in those states making hay of these ads? Senators Baldwin and Casey tacitly endorsing Mr Trump *ought* to be big news!
I haven’t seen any of that in Wisconsin.
Fascism, California-style:
In Calif, in remote areas where people who retire buy their dream homes, or cabins, they soon find out that “friendly” foreigners come by to ask politely if the property they now own might be for sale.
These foreigners then name a price that is only slightly less than the retiree paid for it.
When the answer is a firm “No!” soon there are different men who come around. They might destroy the irrigation system, or kill a pet.
Then the couple is asked again if maybe the property might be up for sale.
Meanwhile the governor has a “X” post up every few days stating that under his careful rule, Californians will surrender their guns.
But the foreign people who are desperately needing to buy up the remote properties have guns aplenty. The guns include automatic rifles. Why is this?
Perhaps the supporters of the good governor would reply that the whites who own these properties are fascists. Clearly these whites benefited from the White Patriarchy while the brown skinned foreigners, be they Chinese or from south of the border, really need a helping hand up.

I’m not sure she’s bright enough, or pays attention long enough, to get to evil. Yes, she strongly supports, and advocates for, death and hate. But I think that’s more out of ignorance and an inability to think things through than to outright evil.
[I eventually concluded that Joe Biden is truly evil because I saw enough of the hate and violence that he advocated that evil was the only explanation that made sense. This was especially clear after the “red backdrop” speech in September 2022.]
That was the battle for the soul of America speech. Finally showing his true colors. I’m surprised he waited that long.

Some Dems must be “fascist-adjacent.”
You’re a Fascist
What, again!?
I thought it wore off after not having voted for W for 20 years.
The worst part is that there are 10,000 “AntiFa” shock troops waiting to be activated. Young commies really like political violence and Harris is stoking them up. Keep your head on a swivel, when you are in Leftist towns.
Biden as a baptized Catholic is a different story. Like Pelosi who advocates for abortion they both have rejected Church teaching on abortion in the public square.
Their comments in the public square leads to confusion among some Catholics on a grave sin. That is the sin of Scandal. Pelosi and Biden, among other Catholics in public life may be called schismatic, but conservative and liberal do not apply when it comes to the Catholic Church. A Catholic is either faithful to Church teachings in their actions or they are not.
CarolJoy,
My wife and I had absolutely no idea this was happening.
Things are worse than we thought for the American Christians and our dear loyal friends.
Hillary has been stirring the pot as well. One of her recent speeches features such over the top anger that it made me wonder if she had watched too many Hitler rant parody videos.
It would mean something if they didn’t call every GOP candidate since 1964 a fascist.
I don’t know her thinking or motivations, but actively supporting race riots is evil enough for me.
If you see pallets of bricks sitting on the sidewalk and there is no construction nearby, leave the area as quickly as possible. Situational awareness, people.
Sounds like some fellers need a shootin’.
On the title of the post, of course I am. “Fascist” joins “racist” (and “homophobe” and several other “-ist” and “-phobe” words) as universal condemnations by leftists of anyone who isn’t buying the leftist orthodoxy of the moment.
Foreign policy isn’t high on the priority list of most voters at the moment. But Vice President Harris’s repeated failures during even friendly interviews and stage-managed public appearances should convince anyone of how badly she is likely to perform on the world stage.
I am wealthy enough that Democratic economic policies would be inconvenient and damaging to my economic well-being, but not disastrous. So I can be concerned about indirect issues like world peace and the many people who are currently living in conditions of war or are otherwise directly affected by war. My desire for world peace is almost by itself reason to vote for Donald Trump. In his previous term as President he did more to implement actual peace than any president since Ronald Reagan.
Dennis Prager used to talk about the misuse and cheapening of the word “rape” to mean any sex the woman regretted the next day. This is what the Left has done to the word “fascist” and to identifying Republicans with Hitler. If anyone should be identified with “fascism” it’s the corporatists and globalists vying for power. And they’re not all Democrats.
This is what the Left does, though. It corrupts language to capture power (while first destroying public education so that people don’t even begin to know what words mean, let alone their historical context). Hillary literally used the fascist motto “stronger together” as her campaign slogan in 2016. No one called her on it. Probably because the electorate is too ignorant to get the reference to Mussolini’s fascii symbolism. Lefties love it when corporations and government are stronger together — cf Amazon, Facebook, corporate media. . .
Hillary is evil. She knows that the DNC held a convention to nominate her husband in that building. Also, in her rhetoric, she denounced the “neo-Nazis” that gathered in 1939. Hey Hillary, in 1939 they were original Nazis. I try to remember that socialists view everyone that is against socialism as fascist. Fortunately, we have a 3rd choice in America–Conservatives!
I’m going to start calling her “Hitlery.”
Would that be the same Hillary who suggested that people who disagreed with government views (well she calls it “political misinformation”) should be criminally prosecuted?

FIFY
Kamala is a flag, she moves in whichever direction the wind is blowing. Truly an empty suit, motivated only by ambition.
To a leftist, anyone who disagrees with them is a fascist or a racist; probably both.
1964? You are late to the game! Truman compared Dewey to Hitler in 1948, if not earlier…..

No, she is a communist that will hang out at the edge of the Overton window, while being willing to imply anything to get elected.
The things you can see at a “Fascist” rally.
There is money to be made selling Trump yarmulkes. Somehow, I don’t think anyone is making Trump keffayehs.
