I don't see why they need to distance themselves. Not only their platform, but their tactics--voter intimidation, committing violence at Trump rallies, attacking and destroying property of Trump supporters, making death threats to Trump electors--those are all out of the Hitler playbook. They and Hitler are cut from the same cloth, why must they keep hiding it?
I didn’t watch a lot of crossfire, but was into the McLaughlin group for a while. John did the same when Kinsley was on.
He does too and says it right up front, at least his definition, "fascist = anybody you don't like".
Fascism is government colluding(corruption) with business for the enrichment of both. It is government being paid to give business everything the want regardless of the harm caused to the American people.
And what do Big Cap globalist companies want? They want two things: unfettered access to US markets(no tariffs) and unfettered access to 3rd world labor. Call this the globalist cookie jar. The tax and regulation "problem" is a red herring. What they really want is to keep that cookie jar open to them at all costs.
What we have had in the USA for the last 30 years is blatant fascism in order to keep that cookie jar full and readily accessible. What Trump did with Carrier is to slam the lid on the cookie jar. To me that is the opposite of fascism.
Needs a Barf Alert or #FakeNews tag in the headline.
“People who do not understand what words mean should not try and use them.”
That would make this country so quiet you could hear Niagara Falls in Atlanta.
They are too stupid to see Trump is reestablishing the balance with China.
A sinful “ist” is whatever the Demonrat party fake news outlet says it is.
LOL! Fake news is the only kind of news Michael Kinsley knows, what a jerk.
Sounds like thr PRC.
Michael Kinsley. I thought he was dead?
Well remember, they’re almost all mentally ill. One of their favorite activities is calling us on the right Hitler, so you can just imagine the resulting cognitive dissonance if they ever squarely faced the truth that they are in fact becoming functionally equivalent to the NASDP. True, they are not nationalist, but they even have a scapegoat that they are increasingly willing to admit they would like to exterminate: the Caucasian male. I think they may come around and admit what they are once the old, white geezers in charge of the party are finally pushed aside. Then you will have a fascist party that is “nationalist” in the sense of being overtly anti-Caucasian, possibly tossing Jews overboard as well.
Gaydar alert?
