(Full title: MAGA operative gets live fact check after
saying Nazis were left-wing socialists)
***
I dunno...obviously I'm not dialed into what passes for
basic intelligence within the MAGA's context and
experience of themselves ~!!!~ ...but you would think
there would be *some semblance of a bar* beneath which,
at some point, something this hilariously ridiculous
would have to set off SOME kind of weenie alarm,
*somewhere* there...???
These doofuses truly do believe they can *literally SAY
ANYTHING,* without a moment's regard for how childislhly
absurd it is to claim it...! Unbelievable...
***
Republican strategist Tricia McLaughlin tried to defend
former President Donald Trump against charges of being a
fascist by falsely claiming that fascism is a left-wing
socialist political ideology.
During an interview with CNN's Sara Sidner, McLaughlin
argued that it was dangerous for Democrats to echo claims
made by Trump's own former White House chief of staff
about Trump being a fascist because it could result in
someone trying to kill him.
"The natural conclusion of calling Donald Trump a Nazi,
calling Donald Trump the next Hitler, is that someone
will again try to kill him," she said.
"John Kelly was the person who called him a fascist,
which is his former chief of staff," replied Sidner. "And
so Democrats have been repeating what his former chief of
staff said."
At this point, McLaughlin tried to deflect from the issue
by denying that fascism is a right-wing political
ideology at all, despite the fact that it is defined as
an ideology "that exalts nation and often race above the
individual, that is associated with a centralized
autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and
that is characterized by severe economic and social
regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition."
Additionally, when Nazis took power in the 1930s,
socialists and communists were among the first people
whom they targeted for political persecution.
"Fascism is rooted in socialism!" she said. "So we've got
to get the definition correct because Donald Trump by no
means is a socialist."
"Fascism certainly isn't socialism either," Sidney shot
back.
Democratic strategist Matt Bennett also issued a fact
check of his own, saying, "Socialism and fascism are very
very different. Fascism is right-wing authoritarianism."

No one can call him anything (according to Trump), only
he can call everyone else anything he wants.
I mean, we've heard he try to label his opponents (even
republicans who don't side with him) as communists,
Marxists (Bannon identifies himself as a Leninist and
Marxist, btw), socialists, and yes, even fascists as it
suits him.
But, you know, rules only apply to other people and
he'll never take responsibility for his own bad
behavior or attacks.
And Trump is a fascist. That's clear now. The fact
many of his base don't understand what fascism is (or
anything else for that matter) is sad. It's made them a
target for radicalization.
Many were duped during the leadup to WWII as well,
preferring the Nazi side and claiming they were
patriotic.
If people don't learn from history, don't understand
it, don't even know...they are prey for those forces
that do.
Being the daughter of a WWII era father (a veteran of
that war), mother and grandparents who talked of "what
happened" and "who were the nazis" and "How could the
German people be fooled by them"... it's been pretty
identifiable. We're losing those who were there now.
We're even losing many from the generation of children
(like me) who heard the firsthand stories from their
parents.
Those with fascists (far right wing) tendancies have
benefitted from it.
The voices of warning from our fathers, mothers,
grandfathers and mothers, used to be strong..now
they're disappearing, and the enemy has returned
wrapped in a flag and pretending to be patriots again.
Keep an eye on the Madison Square Garden Trump rally.
This is the same place in 1939 where American nazis who
supported Hitler also gathered.
Your eyes need to be so open right now. If you don't
know history, then at least go read up on it. Better
late than never. It's not too late yet.
