The only ones who care about the op-ed are the lib socialist fascist dems. How can one care about something that has no name to it and says they are trying to govern the nation when they are not elected to govern. This person thinks their ideas need to move forward at any cost. That makes for a very dangerous individual. I also think the secret service is involved due to the fact that the writer said this would "end one way or another", which could be a threat against the president. It is just as likely that this was done by the dems or a writer at the paper.

Social and socialist is not the same thing. Have you ever been there?

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

Where did I say it was the same thing??

EyeSawYou

You might want to advise the Democrats about that difference on here, they conflate the two much like they conflate many other issues.

Huh?

where did you then see socialist nightmares in the current governmental coalition which has been ruling the country for quite a while?...

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

Are you not watching the news??? The dems do not hide the fact they are socialist, they are trying to keep at bay is that they are also fascists.

As for them being fascist: The following is an excerpt. If you care to read the whole article, the link is below. This is not an isolated article about dems being fascist. There are plenty out there.
The sad reality is that a neo-fascism is in fashion today, but not because of Trump. Rather, by growing government, empowering it to regulate most everything and allowing “crony capitalism,” we get ever closer to Mussolini’s ideal, “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

And the dictator certainly agreed. Praising Democrat icon Franklin Roosevelt’s 1933 book Looking Forward, he wrote, “Reminiscent of Fascism is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices… Without question, the mood accompanying this [New Deal] sea change resembles that of Fascism.”

Whether we view Mussolini as a man of the “left” or just a man who left sanity, the similarities between fascism’s founding father and our liberals should make them just a tad nervous. It certainly had this effect on one of them, late leftist activist and politician Tom Hayden.

During a radio appearance on “The Chip Wood Show” years ago, Hayden was accused by a caller of being a “communist agitator.” The host defended him, saying that Hayden had no problem with business remaining in private hands as long as the government guaranteed things were done “fairly.” Hayden agreed, providing several examples of how the state must ensure goods and services are distributed equitably.

Wood related their conversation’s denouement in 2010. He told Hayden, “‘What you’ve described isn’t communism or socialism. …Isn’t the system you want—where ownership remains in private hands, but its use is controlled by government—actually a form of fascism?’”

“There was a stunned silence as I continued, ‘In fact, Tom, isn’t it fair to say that the economic system you want to impose on us in the United States is actually classical fascism, as practiced in Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy?’”

Hayden’s response? “Click.” He’d hung up the phone. And that’s what happens when you’re hung up on an ideology that may not be quite as “liberal” as you’d like to fancy.

How Elaine can conflate Swedish politics with "lib socialist fascist dems" is a mystery, perhaps born out of ignorance.

I am certainly not watching Fox news (luckily it's not available here - in Switzerland). Calling the swedish social democrats fascists, well, we must have very different dictionaries...

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

I didn't conflate anything. I merely posted an article. Disagree with the author. Sweden is a socialist country, 65 percent of their wages go to the government according to my Swedish friend. Also, it can be difficult to get full time work, there is part time work, but try getting ahead working part time. I an not knocking Sweden, but I prefer the US. My friend is immigrating to the US.....the legal way.

Funny that the Swed's are in the Top 10 of happiest citizens in the world. US not so much.

I made no remark about their happiness. My friend is coming to the US, so I can safely say she is not too happy with the inability to prosper in Sweden.

But not as happy as me....
