'The View’ Pushes Panic That ‘Trump Could Turn America Into a Fascist Country’
Newsbusters.org ^ | 4/10/2018 | Scott Whitlock

The women of The View, Tuesday, eagerly promoted the idea that a fascist Donald Trump might bring a dictatorial reign to America. Promoting ex-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s new book, the ABC show’s announcer panicked: “Why is former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright warning that President Trump could turn America into a fascist country?”

Previewing Albright’s appearance on the show, the announcer hyped: “Still ahead, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on why she says Donald Trump is the most anti-democratic president in American history.”

Co-host Sara Haines uncritically promoted the threat of fascism under Trump:

We want to talk about your book. So Fascism: A Warning. You write, “Some may view this book and its title as alarmist, good.” That's your quote. Coming from you, that should scare a lot of people. Are you actually afraid that America could become a fascist nation?

Trump has been president for over a year and the 2018 midterms are still scheduled for November 6, 2018. If you believe the media, the Republicans are headed for an electoral wipe out. So, it’s a little hard to see where the fascism comes in.

Print version so you don't have to see these sleaze balls. Anyway, when I need a well researched expert opinion, the view is certainly where I turn to get that info. NOT! And, maddie not so bright? Really? Every time I think these assclowns can't get any "more stupider", they prove me wrong. Fidiots!

O.K. if that’s really going to happen can we FINALLY get rid of “The View” once and for all?

And then “Ellen” after that......

After that, let’s get to work on the soap opera shows.

We're already a Fascist country, where government programs get filtered through private contractors and corporations that reap great profits and wield great control. ObamaCare is the most out-of-control example of that.

I think he could do it very easily if he wanted to. Given the precedent established by his predecessor, the concentration of power in the will of the Executive, and a do-nothing Legislature make circumstances ripe for someone of a strong will and personality to effectively seize power. It's certainly what happened to the Roman Republic.

Albright, the woman who worked for the administration that: Used armed federal officers to invade a citizen’s home to forcibly repatriate a minor child to a communist country, incinerated American citizens in Waco, shot a woman through the head holding a baby in her arms at Ruby Ridge, Bombing a baby milk factory in the Sudan, Sided with Islamic fundamentalists over Christians in the Balkans and refused multiple CIA kill requests on Bin Laden before 9/11 and she’s worried about Trump? That’s a bit rich.

:: turn America into a fascist country ::

Fascist! You keep saying that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

"We're already a Fascist country, where government programs get filtered through private contractors and corporations that reap great profits and wield great control. ObamaCare is the most out-of-control example of that."

Bingo! Private Ownership Gov't control. You don't think after the GM Bond Holders took it in the shorts that those in business didn't notice and knew if they crossed Lear-Deader that they were next? You don't think they kept their heads down and stayed quite and if they had too they kiss his arse so they didn't end up in the breach?

The View is too stupid to see it or talk to anyone in business on the down-lo to get it.

Everybody loves fascism as long as it is “their” brand of fascism (a.k.a.: tribalism). The problem is that nobody is willing to acknowledge it. Instead we wrap ourselves in virtue and proclaim the purity and righteousness of “our” fascism and pretend it’s simply common sense. Kind of like the liberal view of common sense gun control. There is no such thing. What those toads on the view consider to be common sense, I consider to be dq

The evil Left’s projections invariably betray their plans and/or actions.

The Nazis, in my opinion, are sitting on The View.

The women of the View are not the problem. The problem is they have enough stupid viewers that enable them to stay on television.

These people are champion gaslighters. Well many of us see behind the curtain, they are liars and evil who want control of society not individual responsibility.
