For some reason, my computer will not allow me to see videos from Twitter. Very frustrating. If someone could post a screen shot of those Secret Service snipers I would appreciate it!
We may see parallels with fascism in the mob behavior but let’s be realistic, these are communists or anarchists, not fascists. I believe that when we use the term fascists it may be counter-productive because it may just join in the background noise of anti-fascism that these communist revolutionaries are trying to whip up in America today.
You and I may have this conversation and know why we are saying fascist, but many people out there won’t get it at all and will not retain any impression of having heard a criticism of the rioters at all.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think the misuse of the term fascism is really based on frustration that people aren’t seeing the obvious, which is a communist revolt against America. One thing I do remember about the 1960s situation was that nobody called the far left fascists then, and they were still basically beaten in their efforts to subvert the constitution. It took most of the 1970s, the failures of Jimmy Carter, and the promise of a new start with Ronald Reagan, to overcome that strong revolutionary movement. I don’t think we have a decade to play around with this time, the demographics are changing fast enough that we are not far from a very violent confrontation if this movement isn’t contained quickly.
Nor am I saying that calling them fascists will do any harm, it probably won’t matter what you call them, the fact of the matter is that people better connected than most of us happen to be will need to rise to the defense of the constitution, even some who may never warm up to Donald Trump, because unless that happens, the absence of high profile criticism of this communist revolution will allow it to succeed through intimidation and force. At least to the point where an armed conflict becomes inevitable. Maybe I should say nothing to forestall that as quite often I find myself wishing it would just come so we could get it over with.
Lately, I have to go to the tweet to view a video. Won’t play if posted by a second party.
You have to click on the tweet to get it on its own page for the video to work sometimes.
That post has been removed :(
What did I miss?
