Imho democrats are pure evil. democrats will not be able to explain their decision of murdering children and their many other evils. I would not want to have been a voting democrat on judgement day

“Is the American Postmodern Left a Fascist Movement?”

Nice to see them joining the party...some of had put up Reagan posters in 1980, just to see them torn down by Leftists. More recently, some of us waited in line in 2016 to hear Trump speak, just to be physically attacked by the Left.

Totally agree. As an immigrant to the USA (from UK) I didn’t realize how conditioned I was toward collectivism, only to realize the only country in the world that isn’t centered on collectivism is the USA. In other words, what comes first, the collective or individual rights? Only in the USA do we realize that individual rights coming first IS in the best interests of the collective. Everywhere else will bend and easily curtail the rights of individuals to appease the will of the collective.

This is true in Europe and the UK. COVID was a perfect example. Whatever the government said was “the right thing to do” people did it, without question. Anyone that didn’t was considered selfish and uncivilized. The “clap for the NHS heroes” was cringe worthy, everyone going outside at 7pm to clap and bang pots and pans in their support - if you weren’t participating it might be noted by neighbors.

The government hammers certain messages; NHS good...guns bad. Two almost unquestioned principles. It took me a while to even comprehend another point of view.

“The left is in love with the oligarch system, whether it be china or Russia and they are striving to do the same for themselves here. Weaponizing the agencies, ruling by executive order, destabilizing American society, the media the tech giants all on board and made promises to join them in their quest”

I think what you are saying, and I agree, is that we have an oligarch system in the US just like China and Russia.

Our system is broken real bad — maybe beyond repair.

It's not just the post-modern left that is Fascist.

The FDR's New Deal was simply Fascism American style. In fact up until the start of the war in Europe, FDR and Mussolini had great admiration for each other. The Nazis did as well.

The chief Nazi newspaper, Volkischer Beobachter, repeatedly praised “Roosevelt’s adoption of National Socialist strains of thought in his economic and social policies” and “the development toward an authoritarian state” based on the “demand that collective good be put before individual self‐​interest.”

Yup.

Began in earnest with Theodore Roosevelt and his big push for the horrific income tax. Then came FDR who broke limited government from the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land.
