So, less than one month after the left's extreme anti-Trump rhetoric (in all likelihood) spurred a mentally ill man from Ithaca to shoot and murder someone whom he mistook for Trump, the Mayor doubles down on that rhetoric and openly (and proudly) calls Trump a "fascist" who must have war "waged" against him?

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Journalists don’t have a hair on their collective a&^es if one of them doesn’t ask Ithaca public officials to qualify, ‘openly hostile’...

Example? Please. What is it you are claiming?

It’s JOURNALISM... not rocket science... even I can see that some ‘reporting’ has to be done here.

If the intent of that leftist nutjob was to kill Donald Trump, isn’t that in itself the crime of assassination and calls for the same penalty?

From what I have read, Ithaca is a facist entity.

It is important for folks like this to engage in hyperbole. They convert policy differences into fights of good versus evil. Which in turn justify extreme measures against their opponents.

It is a common socialist trick, regardless of which flavor of socialist: communist, fascist, Nazi, find an “other,” focus anger on them for political advantage.

“Ithaca...City if Evil...”

I believe this. It sound wierd, I realize; however when I was in Ithaca about 6 years ago when one of our daughters was making a college visit to Ithaca College - as soon as I entered the valley I felt uneasy.

The place had an anti-Christian aura. I know that this makes me sound sort of kooky, because I am not the sort who goes about in daily life discerning auras, but this sense of being in an occult type bubble was there, even though it makes me sound out there.

My daughter hated the place too and went to college elsewhere.

My niece who graduated from Cornell several years ago is still brainwashed by secular atheistic liberalism and I fear will she might never recover her common sense.

I have dubbed Ithaca “hippie valley” yet that is almost too benign a term.

Was it a native American burial ground or site of a massacre or anything like that?

Liberals will increasingly marginalize themselves with this silly rhetoric. As Trump succeeds, they will fade.

This ridiculous debasement of the word “fascism” will mean the liberals won’t be able to identify true fascism should it ever emerge.

So putting America first is fascism. I guess I’m a fascist. Who knew? I always thought fascism required an unchecked dictator. Seems the mayor of Ithaca is acting like a dictator so that must make him a fascist as well.

Mayor Svante Myrick addressed President-Elect Donald Trump and his administration, calling it “openly hostile”

No generalizations , no He is a racist, he is Hitler or any other silly nonsense. Provide one verifiable incidence where Trump or anyone in his Administration did anything remotely hostile to you or any one of your actual city residents.
If you can not then try to grow up and act like an adult!

Yep - and long term too.

Back in the late '60s, Dad was looking into working for Ithaca Guns and opted to decline after he researched the city....he loved working on/with guns.

He said fascist governance works because it allows people to dehumanize those who are different from themselves.

This is 100% exactly what he himself is doing. He is trying to dehumanize conservatives who believe in our laws being enforced as "fascists," simply because they don't agree with his hard-left, anti-rule of law, anti-democratic stances. This dehumanization with lies, spin, slander, and distortions of their political opponents by much of the left is exactly what has spurred all the violence against Trump supporters and those just suspected of being Trump supporters since the election (even in a few instances against children), including the recent horrible abduction and torture in Chicago.

Could this man possibly be less principled and more hypocritical? The hatred of regular, upstanding, law-abiding Americans from many on the left, who are extremely intolerant of other opinions like this "mayor," is disturbing and a threat to our civilization and safety.

Set up a test situation. Then with the first whiff of non-compliance with federal law, issue federal arrest warrants for the mayor and city councilmen. They will be heroes for a short time, but after a year or so in prison, they might find their heroism less glamorous.
