Andrew Sullivan Calls Trump ‘Fascist,’ But Predicts He’ll Win
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/04/2016 4:29:51 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On yesterday evening’s Hardball, an overwrought Andrew Sullivan stopped just short of chewing the scenery, while repeatedly referring to Donald Trump and Ann Coulter as fascists. But precisely because of Trump’s supposed fascist fear-mongering, Sullivan predicted that “Trump is going to win this election.”

Former New Republic editor Sullivan claimed that we are in a “fascist moment” because white Americans are reacting to the country becoming majority-minority. Calling Ann Coulter “the other fascist” along with Trump, Sullivan cited Ann’s book “Adios, America” as epitomizing the fear of the foreigner driving Trump’s support.

Actually, Trump is a populist - the furthest thing from fascist.

Clinton on the other hand is anti-clerical, advocates state control of the means of production through government regulation, advocates strict state control of education and campaigns under the slogan "Stronger Together" or "Forte Unita" as Mussolini would have said.

The truth is, Hillary Clinton actually IS a fascist.

Freedom equals fascism to Marxists.

Pray America wakes

Sullivan is a careerist like Joe Scarborough and Peggy Noonan. When it was cool and sexy to be a Reagan Republican, they were right there with their begging bowl. Now that the country has shifted left, they are right (or left) there with their begging bowl. Peggy’s now running to the right but Andy is still stuck on the left. After all, he’s married to a man and has a drug bust on his record.

It's not about race. It's about communism/socialism and big government on one side - or freedom on the other side. This is anti-government excess, not anti-minority.

ESAD, Andrew Sullivan.

If our country is becoming “majority-minority,” it’s because America has been invaded for decades by Mexico and Central America. Washington (and the border state governors) haven’t done a damn thing to stop it.

“See you at the signing.” Remember that quip from the moron GWB 10 years ago?

About fascism, that came about from nationalism, and happened in countries that got it very bad as a result of losing a war. Trying to fix a nation and get more employment back in the nation, without throwing away the rights like freedom of speech or freedom of religion is important here. Trump wants to keep us from getting into the impoverished hellhole status that makes the real dangerous idealogues a good chance at coming to power. But Sullivan frequently strikes me as some elitist who lacks much touch with the little people, unlike Trump’s remarks at getting outreach to the urban poor.

White Americans are the only group still left in the uSA which is open to the give and take of political discourse All other groups are 75%-95% in favor of Fascist state control and demand “safe space” protection if you try to disagree.

To: I want the USA back

As a born again Christian, I do not support or condone that “lifestyle”.

However, the extreme idiocy of the proponents of that lifestyle shocks me. Every single illegal immigrant group they want to let into the USA, hates them and hates them enough to kill them. Try to be gay in most Hispanic communities or in most Arabic communities. They are not friendly to the Pride groups and never will be.

Sullivan is a sodomite, AIDS infected, homo-fascist. He was busted years ago for advertising for anonymous, bareback homo-sex after he was discovered to be HIV positive. Didn’t hurt his standing with the left, of course.

So what’s wrong with being a fascist? Fascism promotes nationalism and opposes liberalism and socialism. I guess he figured out Trump doesn’t fall into line with those leaders pushing globalism and a liberal “anything goes” attitude for the masses while the elites rob the public treasury.

I for one really don’t give a crap what color my neighbors are.

- Don’t loot my paycheck
- Don’t try and blow me up

Follow those simple rules and we’ll all get along fine.

He’s got a point.
Fascists do use the fear of internal and external to secure their power.
What Andrew Sullivan is missing that there is something to fear from these aliens - they are barbarians and members of a vicious and murderous religion. They bring nothing to this country that we needs (except, for Democrats, votes).

One of the left's worst traits is projection.

Thank you very much for that video. I have been trying to explain what was explained in that video for a long time.

I’ve shown that video to people who weren’t ‘into’ math and they got it.

It’s an easy way to show why it’s not possible to bring in the world. We would sink and the percentage of people ‘saved’ would be so small our sacrifice and demise would be for nothing.

That said, there are things we could do - worthy of a great nation. And by that I don’t mean allowing Washington ‘elites’ to go to places like Haiti and rip-off people suffering from natural disasters...

Glad you liked it Morpheus.
