Harris is smearing Trump as a fascist, even though ironically, he has been the target of fascist machinations from her own party and supporters for nearly a decade.
In the last two weeks, Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.
Yet in the modern era, it was not Trump who put large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens into “relocation camps,” but liberal Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent Japanese-American citizens and residents into them.
If Harris refers to Trump’s supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence.
Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.
Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier.
The FBI, which in 2016 had hired the faker Steele, in 2020, fused with social media to suppress accurate news reporting of the embarrassing Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
A number of FBI directors and intelligence officials—John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe—who openly sought to destroy Trump had a long history of either lying or feigning amnesia under oath.
Fascists try to warp the legal system. But Trump’s own Justice Department selected an independent special counsel to investigate the invented Russian collusion accusations against him.

Hey Victor - FYI Joe McCarthy was right.

I don’t think the “Hitler” and “garbage” strategy worked out as they expected. The economy, the foreign invasion and the 2nd Amendment still matter to Americans. We need the 2nd Amendment in America more now than ever.
As gopj insightfully observed, Biden’s hateful “garbage smear” has upped the ante bigtime:
“The more democrats have the need to cheat, the easier it’s going to be to spot.......”
Yes. Disappointing for VDH to use McCarthy in such a way. He was right but the Deep State of the 1950s smeared him and got away with it. I see Trump as very much a McCarthy figure, which is one reason I like Trump so much.
Trump may want to try and channel a little of McCarthy, in his presidency.
Better might be George S Patton.
He won’t, but we might get four more years and be more ready.

Good morning GARBAGE freepers! Have a safe day! Don’t eat too much candy 🍬 🍭
“Trump may want to try and channel a little of McCarthy, in his presidency.” He’ll also need to be wary of the many ghosts of Roy Cohn.
It's the likes of you who ridiculed him, making sure that here, 70 plus years later, the embedded Communists are going stronger than ever.
Just go off somewhere and meditate about how smart you are, please.
Harris is now confirming to voters that she really can neither think nor speak well and has no consistent agenda that appeals to the middle class.
Not that long, and well worth your time to read!

What is the origin of this lie?

Bumping a realty post not a B$ post!
The only Joy they have are Behar and Reid. They can keep em.
Keep your seatbelts fastened - and remember the GW Bush DUI story and the indictment of Caspar Weinberger happened on the Friday before the election. Democrats are very familiar with this kind of strategic late surprise tactic. Given the trend in the polls, she has no incentive to hold back.
Excellent warning/suggestions for our side.
Seems to me VDH is being misunderstood in this instance.
His article suggests Trump is bearing much undeserved criticism such as McCarthy faced from the government, the MSM, the Dems and the Hollywood left.
See specifically. ...Harris...trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
VDH may be the last guy in America that needs reminding of that. I think he is being misunderstood in this instance.
He argues in the article that Trump has faced and continues to face unjustified criticism from many influential quarters just as McCarthy faced.
