The Fascism Farce

On October 29th, Kamala Harris is scheduled to give what is being described as her “closing argument” on the Ellipse just outside the White House. Her closing argument will be that Donald Trump is an authoritarian, a fascist, the next Hitler.

You’ve heard it all before. It goes back to the disgusting Charlottesville hoax where leftists and their media allies tried to smear Trump as a neo-Nazi sympathizer, in spite of the fact that he specifically condemned neo-Nazis and white supremacists. (The Big Lie again.)

Joe Biden continued the theme when he delivered that bizarre, bitter speech with a blood red backdrop, condemning half the country as “semi-fascist.” And it’s not just Trump. It’s you, too. Biden said so himself, “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the [MAGA movement] . . . it’s like semi-fascism.”

And in recent days the theme has been resurrected again by the fake news media.

I know you are too smart to fall for this, but some of your less informed neighbors, friends, and family members might. So, here are some points that might be useful.

All totalitarian movements -- Marxism, fascism, Maosim, Nazism -- have certain characteristics, none of which apply to Trump and the millions of Americans who support him.

Totalitarian regimes want to eliminate all mediating institutions where people find comfort and safety. They don’t want anything competing for loyalty to the state. So, they wage war against the family, the church, and private institutions.

That’s the opposite of the MAGA movement, which is trying to protect and promote faith, to expand religious liberty, promote strong families. MAGA conservatives are taking the side of parents against government at all levels.

Totalitarian regimes are aggressive internationally. They want to spread their ideology to as many nations as possible.

Donald Trump has been running for eight years as the guy who wants to end endless wars. He wants peace through strength. He wants the death and destruction in Ukraine to end. He wants peace in the Middle East. And the left has attacked him for promoting peace.

Now they’re calling him a dictator, a fascist, and a Nazi. But those regimes always want war because war makes it easier to restrict civil rights.

All totalitarian regimes try to shrink civil liberties. Conservatives are fighting to shrink the power of government and save our civil liberties.

Fascist regimes often make alliances with big businesses so they can oppress citizens together, like the FBI working with Big Tech to censor the truth and silence government critics. The MAGA movement is fighting to protect citizens from Big Business and prevent them and the government from taking away your rights.
