Finally, there needs to be an accounting for whatever crimes took place during the past four years — and does anyone doubt that Trump allies and associates engaged in criminal acts? Don’t say that we should look forward, not back; accountability for past actions will be crucial if we want the future to be better.

Appeasement is what got us to where we are. It has to stop, now.


They are coming for you

It all started with Trump's inability to lock her up.

The Communists labeled anyone who did not slavishly support them “fascists”. So a fascist is someone who doesn’t not openly support the Democrats

Just stepping back and observing their rhetoric is fascinating. They have all kinds of words (”appeasement”) and facile claims about “authoritarianism” under Trump. None of it is moored in reality. They just make stuff up. A good deal is projection, of course, but basically they are just tossing out wild claims to see what they can get to stick.

It’s disturbing that this stuff gets published and just gets absorbed by so many people who nod without thinking and simply say, “Orange Man Bad”.

“Donald Trump, however, is indeed a fascist — an authoritarian willing to use violence to achieve his racial nationalist goals.”

I haven’t seen any evidence of racial goals from President Trump. Nationalist? Sure. Violence from Trump? Not really. He could do that. He could have had the Capitol building destroyed had he wanted to. Paul Krugman is a good example of the problem.

One shouldn’t use the term “fascist” lightly. It isn’t a catchall for “people you disagree with.” It isn’t even a synonym for “bad political actors.”

****

Yet that’s precisely what the author does here. Nothing about Trump can be considered exceptionally fascistic. However, it’s clear Democrats, with their cals for violence and zest for using corporate partnerships to favor political outcomes fits the bill quite well.

You know, I was thinking the same exact thing of Biden, Harris and the entire Left as I was watching the riots this summer.

Oh please. Paul Krugman, the ultimate drama Queen and propaganda mouth piece. AntiFa are the fascists here. No contest.

Oh, I’ll use the f-word all right.

Just not the one Krugman thinks. What a tool.

I read the article.

1) Krugman does not inhabit the same planet we are on.

2) He is clearly calling for a purge of the electorate.

3) He studiously avoids the 35 deaths and 3 billion dollars in property damage his side has done.

4) He is a liar, through and through.

5) I will not comply. I will not live in your world, Krugman.

Wow....again, calling a Party fascist while Big Tech shuts down opposition voices....

The Democrat Party right now is DEFINITELY some mix of Fascism/Corporatocracy, which is really strange because every definition you can find for Fascism begins with “a far-right-wing form of government”. Another odd observation, not many online definitions start the definitions of socialism or communism with “a far-left-wing form of government”.

So for everyone on the left screaming that Trump is a fascist, I guess it was just easier to formulate a strong central government coupled with Big Tech silencing opposition.....pretty much Fascism.

Liberals are totalitarianism thugs...

Krugman’s suspects the truth which is why he’s digging in for white liberal ‘elite’ thugs. He’s scared.

One would think an economist would know that Fascism is kind of socialism featuring the blending of government power with the private sector, particularly the most powerful in the private sector, and that the work to increase the control of government and the power of the private side. It’s an unhealthy symbiotic relationship where each does the work normally forbidden to the other.

That is the very definition of the Democratic Party.

Tech deplatforms Trump and kills Parler, government gives them legal protection and gives them lucrative contracts. Fascism, Krugman should know.

Sheesh! How many lies can Krugman fit in one sentence? He may have set a record.

If President Trump and his 75 to 80 million American supporters really were fascist, wouldn’t Krudman already be dead?
