I remember her in her prime.

[Chickensoup]

Oooh!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

But you know, Christopher "Fey" Wray referred to it as not really a bullet, merely "shrapnel". I hope Fey gets the full "treatment".

I made a meme for that:

Fascist is deciding that you think men are women, then acting on it while infringing on the rights of women, and trying to ruin anyone that thinks otherwise.

The chef’s kiss is then aggressively and even violently accusing others of being fascists.

Amazing that the photographer just happened to have a high speed setting for his camera that day. And that he just happened to show up at all to a Trump rally. Something the MSM never did.

Calling someone a “fascist” is when the person is low on insults and can’t think of anything else. Misused and way overdone.

Here's the fascist theme song. Doesn't sound very MAGA to me.

Giovinezza (youth)--Beniamino Gigli (1937)

Hail, O people, sons of heroes,
Hail, O immortal Fatherland,
Your children have been reborn
With faith in the ideal.
The valor of your warriors
The Virtue of the Pioneers
(Dante) Alighieri's vision
Today shines in all hearts.

Refrain: Youth, Youth,
Spring of Beauty
Of life in the harshness,
Your song rings and goes.
Fascism is the salvation for our freedom.

Of Italy in the borders
the Italians are remade,
Mussolini remade them
for tomorrow's war
For the glory of work
For peace and laurel
For the pillory of those
That the Fatherland will deny.

Refrain:

Poets and artisans
The lords and peasants,
With the pride of Italians
Swear faith to Mussolini.
There is no poor neighborhood
That does not send out its hosts,
That does not unfurl the flags
of Fascism, our redeemer.

Refrain

You are obviously a racist. 🤡

Even by the end of WWII the term “faschist”, had already become a meaningless word. In his remarkable essay, Politics and the English Language (1946) George Orwell wrote “Meaningless words. In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning. Words like romantic, plastic, values, human, dead, sentimental, natural, vitality, as used in art criticism, are strictly meaningless, in the sense that they not only do not point to any discoverable object, but are hardly even expected to do so by the reader…. Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another.”

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***Nazis were fellow Socialists.***
Absolutely true. No wonder they call each other Fascists.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

Fascism is state control over private interests, in the interest of both the state and the business.

We’ve certainly seen it grow in the US recently, and it should be something concerning to real conservatives - just like communism or real socialism.

“***Nazis were fellow Socialists.***

Not true at all after the “Night of the Long Knives” in 1934, during which Ernst Rohm, head of the Brownshirts was murdered by Hitlers people, in addition to all the leaders of the SA.

The SA was the “socialist” part of the Nazi party. After Rohm’s departure, the Nazi party was the party of the SS and market socialism. That’s why the German people loved the Nazis.

Liberals like to think they are so witty with their pejoratives. Trump is a White Supremacist Right Wing Nazi Fascist Pedophile and any MAGAt who supports him is a Boot Licker. Any relationship to reality is irrelevant as they are so smart and reality is whatever they want it to be.
