Voltaire 5,182 Posted January 29 "fascist" "Nazi" and quite a few more. Its their coping mechanism to lash out. Its also their prerogative to use the words as they don't know what any of the words mean anyway. They've turned it up to 11 for so long that you have to figure that eventually they'll wear themselves out. Or not. Not my problem. All the mental breakdowns they're suffering from are imaginary and self induced anyways. They'll deal with it then eventually they'll get over it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a wife beater didn't help. You could probably fit all the world's Nazis in the empty seats of a Biden rally. But when the left screams "Nazi! Nazi!

EternalShinyAndChrome 3,831 Posted January 29 It will come as no surprise to learn that when you're using checkboxes to define "FASCISM", you'll find that the left checks more of those boxes than the right. Ultimately, the word "FASCISM" should be relegated to history as it described a specific time in history. Fascism isn't a problem - and has never been a problem except in the early 20th century - but the left wants you to think so to cover up the fact of how far left they've moved (closer and closer to marxism/communism). It's just a smoke screen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,558 Posted January 29 The Left gave up long ago trying to defend their policies on their merits. The only tool in their tool box is "Trump and his followers are [insert dehumanization]!"

Trump: We're going to drill and build refineries to increase our energy independence. Left: Imperialists!

So they are dutifully following it, the entire "authoritarian"....'fascist"..... "hitler" narrative is something they will keep doing until some charismatic ideologue steps in to proffer up a new line of dogmatic strategy. So, rather comically, they are effectively stuck....

He's a poster from the Sanctuary, which also includes such stalwarts as Rusty and Gutterboy. The Sanctuary is an exclusive place where pseuds sit around discussing how much smarter they are than other mooks. I know, because I used to be a member. I haven't communicated with him in 10, 15 years at this point, but he's telling you I've always been a hypocrite like he know me. It's either that, or he doesn't like that I'm raining on his little TDS-fueled visit here. I'll let you decide, based on your and my history. But to your point about me, I would argue that it is disingenuous to interpret my statement as "every single Leftie ever is that way." There are few absolutes, except in Tim S's world. I have said in the past many times, and will say again: if I make a generalization and it doesn't apply to you, then I'm not talking about you. That being said, it is clear to me that the Left is not happy that Trump has found a series of, well, frankly, pretty common sense things that (1) most people agree with, and (2) the hard Left, including the MSM, doesn't. I listed some of them in the post you referenced. I'm not as tuned into the Left's side of the internet as you are, but are you seeing intelligent rebuttals to things like deporting illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds, supporting our ally Israel in their existential fight with terrorist regimes, disallowing medically-transitioned people from military deployment, doing voluntary severances for federal employees? Mostly what I'm seeing is what I said: othering words like nazi, fascist, phobaphobe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sorry, but that is so fuking stupid. I don't care how many billions Donald and Elon suck out of this (which they absolutely are not doing BTW), but it is a drop of water compared to the tens of trillions of dollars and the authority the federal government currently has over us. Unfortunately it required a few billionaires willing to risk everything they had to take on this evil DC swamp monster. I thank God they are Billionaires, otherwise they would be in prison, shot dead, or financially ruined before they had a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
