I have friends from both sides of the aisle on FB. I generally ignore their political posts, especially during elections. But I have noticed a new trend in the past week or two. The lower Hillary is in the polls, the louder, the more derisive, and the more often they are posting about Trump and his supporters.
I don't think that we are even close to seeing the meltdown of Hillary's minions.
What kind of severe, self-delusional mental illness must one be suffering under to consider Hillary as some kind of hero.
Interesting. I have found the opposite to be true, the last few weeks my lib friends (many long time IRL friends) have gotten a lot more quiet about Hillary and politics.
How about ribs for those deplorables?
You are right, forget the pop corn give me some ribs!1
It’s the mark of Satan on an elderly, sick witch. Approaching the day of reckoning does that.
The difference that arises at the core idea of fascism and socialism makes them two whole different ideologies. However, if you put that fact aside, you will see that both fascism and socialism are ideologies where strict rules are applied to the members of the society.
They don’t know what real violence looks like.If they keep pushing,then they will find out.
Already posted about that.
Thanks for the post!
Gee.
Almost like they are “hoping” Hillary gets attacked by a right-wing gun-owning Trump supporter, aren’t they?
Thanks for posting the Roy Kaplan article. Good read!
You’re welcome. That is a little long but it tells it like it is.
Admittedly, there are flawed candidates on the right side of the issues and flawed candidates on the wrong side of the issues. Being flawed has little to do with it. The fact that Clinton is a socialist has a lot to do with it.
“Hillary Rodham is not a mechanic; she merely manages a garage”
More like a chop shop.
You’re welcome. That is a little long but it tells it like it is.
Exactly!

In his authoritative definition of Fascism (he coined the term,) Mussolini rejects classical liberalism because it makes the individual primary instead of the collective (specifically, the state--fascism is state socialism mixed with a limited free market.) Yes, he rejects Marxism and the Marxian doctrine of historic materialism. And yes, he rejects pure democracy, and argues for a class-based society. But he argues for "authoritarian democracy," where those who rule are expected to do so based on the greater good for the greater number (sound familiar?) Just like modern state socialists, he argues for the necessity of having the state regulate the individual and the market for socialist goals and objectives, using socialist justifications:
"Fascism is therefore opposed to all individualistic abstractions based on eighteenth century materialism; ...""Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity (11). It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual (12). And if liberty is to be the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism, then Fascism stands for liberty, and for the only liberty worth having, the liberty of the State and of the individual within the State (13). The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.
No individuals or groups (political parties, cultural associations, economic unions, social classes) outside the State (15). Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity within the State (which amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality) is unknown, and which sees in history nothing but the class struggle. Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon. But when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State (16)."
That's essentially modern China. And essentially the way most nations are actually governed, regardless of their marketing propaganda. Mussolini, at least, was honest.
