The Trump movement's assault on democracy is directly descended from both the Jim Crow era and the Nuremberg laws

ROTFLMFAO You Lefty Nuts don't even know what Fascism even is. Fascists like you and Biden want to pack the court for even more power over their opponents and the people.

“Fascists,” “Brownshirts,” “jackbooted stormtroopers”—such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who are the real fascists in our midst?

"Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's Fascism."

"Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist."

"Do these striking parallels mean that today’s liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order? Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W.E.B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitler's Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal."

"Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a “friendlier,” more liberal form. The modern heirs of this “friendly fascist” tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isn't an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore."

"These assertions may sound strange to modern ears, but that is because we have forgotten what fascism is. In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg turns our preconceptions inside out and shows us the true meaning of Liberal Fascism."-Jonah Goldberg

It's not your fault. You have been purposefully mislead to believe that Fascism, despotism etc are far right concepts. And that those like Trump who are also to the right are also fascists. But the truth is that all those philosophies, including socialism and communism are all far LEFTIST philosophies. Control of the means of production. The only differenc is the amount and/or type of control. If you look to the far left you see Nazi Germany. Chairman Mao, Pol Poy. The KIM dynasty in N Korea. Cuba and others. The far right is the extreme opposite. No government of any kind- Chaos. Neither extreme is healthy. And the further you get from the center, the more things get out of control. Currently Biden et al and his socialist (their words) cohorts are drifting ever closer to that far leftist philosophy. Although certainly right of center Trump did not indorse far right concepts

Too bad, the quote is wrong and the quote wasn't from Sinclair Lewis, you lost twice in one sentence.

Fascism according to Webster
“”””” 1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.””

People if both political sides cherry-pick the portions of the definition that suit their side

The right highlights to demean the left:
-centralized autocratic government
-severe economic and social regimentation,

The left highlights to demean the right
- exalts nation and often race above the individual
- forcible suppression of opposition.

Foolish internet chatter and nothing more.

You don’t think the Republican gerrymandering across the nation is not intended to suppress the opposition?

You don’t think the constant emphasis by many on illegal immigration does not have racism at its core but is disguised.

That neither is good is true . But it is untrue that the left wants government to provide everything and the right wants give to provide nothing is false. That statement in itself is the problem .

Illegal immigration?? lol Are you implying that Democrat favor illegal immigration? But to answer your question, NO, opposing illegal immigration is the forefront of just about every civilized nation. This has NOTHING to do with race, you Lefties just like to make everything about race because Leftists are by nature, racist pigs.

Thanks for the history lesson.

Yeh, 100 years ago the Democrats wrapped themselves in the flag and inserted themselves in white robes with burning crosses to practice THEIR Jim Crow laws. You think Sinclair Lewis might have been referring to them?
