Question: how do these people hysterically screaming “fascist” and “Nazi” and organizing protests replete with professional signs and banners have the time and resources to do so? Are they calling in sick to work or are they funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundation or by the billions from Qatar flowing through academia and government? This movement against “fascism” is well organized, well coordinated and well funded.
According to Crowds on Demand, yes an actual company providing bodies for protests, 80% of protestors are paid to be there. FOX's Lawrence Jones tried to pin the CEO down on who their clients are that are paying for these rent-a-mobs, but with no luck.
You nailed it - 100% - I watched Jones's interview and it confirmed my suspicions that the majority of these "protests" are Lenin's "useful idiots" who are there mostly for a paycheck.
The co. provides services “for impactful advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, PR stunts, crowds for hire and corporate events."
He said his company receives requests for both conservative and liberal causes. “We have been clear that we work with both liberals and conservatives on causes that align with common-sense values. Democrats are hiring our company, and so are Republicans."
Many of my friends attend protests against Trump as do I on occasion so I doubt there is any need of it here.
LOL - hilarious! Yes, for every 1,000 left wing protest they participate in there's probably one niche "right wing" (defined by the left as "not far enough left") protest...
Thanks! I always assumed something like this was happening, but to see an actual website advertising rent-a-mobs? I confess this hard-bitten cynic was still a bit surprised.
The idea that this outfit is getting a lot of orders from conservative groups is laughable. Conservatives do not behave like the Left. It is a major point of separation. Conservatives debate civilly, they do not march, scream, sing, or riot. Protests are always from the Left because the Left is about upending social order and always has been
If we were really a fascist state Trump would sic the IRS and the rest of Treasury on this paper trail to find out the source of the money and name names.
What the heck are you talking about? The only place I've seen any links to these companies, is conservative sites, by conservatives. Dems deny it's real.
Probably a lot of former (Democrat) government employees that got laid off or fired. Every new president does “housecleaning” to get rid of possible saboteurs and obstructionist employees that have no intention of supporting the new admin.
Very good and timely piece. Volodymyr Zelensky is a fascist supported by out uniparty.
I have to add something considering I am one of many veterans who have been downrange: Do NOT forget the Xiden fascists who murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood and put HUNDREDS of people including veterans in jail WITHOUT DUE PROCESS for several years for being present at OUR house(The Capitol) on J6 while BLM terrorists were being paid to destroy cities.
We are a Federalist Republic meaning that states (and cities) have rights and their own limited sovereignty held together by the Federal power of Washington and its ability to defend and secure freedom for the nation (and that includes insuring domestic safety in our streets). It works. There really is no other way to stitch together a country as geographically and ethnically diverse as the United States of America.
It appears to me that you somehow received an accurate education about our founding. Are you like me, trying to make up for a pathetic educational system that did a terrible job explaining our system? I have been reading presidential biographies in chronological order. After 1200 pages about John Adams, I became very aware of our unique system. Never before in history, as far as I am aware, have a people been able to shake off the shackles of a colonial power and design a just system of government with the genius of establishing a balance of power to prevent tyranny. I love how you describe it. Recently finished a biography of TR. He was a force to be reckoned with. Still learning.
Yes, I am very interested in the history of America and our governance. I have read extensively on both topics and, like you, have read about our Presidents, including John Adams (the David McCullough) biography. And yes, I read a bio on Teddy Roosevelt, though I don't remember the author. I have read histories on Washington, Lincoln, FDR and Kennedy, too, his "PT109". It is tragic to me that American children are no longer required to become proficient in the history and governance of their country. Ignorance is not bliss. Instead, it is dangerous as it will lead to civil war and suffering.
Notice that the founding documents of many once-democratic nations only hold if you do not actually read the fine print and see the loopholes (Canada), or if the whole thing is just ignored by the destroyers.
A person can shout until they are blue in the face that the founding documents do not allow whatever it is that is going on.....but who guards the guards? If the authorities ignore the founding documents, where do we go from there? Nice ideas, but they must be upheld in real life if they are to mean anything.
I could probably write a wonderful Constitution too. But it would remain fiction unless it could be put into play and regularly upheld in actual reality,
I think of the "glory to Britain" Coronation Oath of Queen Elizabeth in the early 50s. But by 1973 she did not bat an eye over rubberstamping the giving-away of British sovereignty to the EU. In other words, her Oath was just platitudes and lip service.
Nice post but I really don't think she had the authority to do squat. Parliament, OTOH... The People continue to get that for which they voted. Good and hard. We've avoided it. so far.
Yes, she did have the authority. I think it is only a convenient myth that she did not. Just watch how her son Charles wields his political baton anytime it suits him. And no one tells him NO.
The British Royal Family have been major globalists for centuries. They are not on the side of the People. No matter their PR routine.
Oh please......he calls them a name? Is that what you mean by "attacks"? Geez....does he sic the IRS on them, get the banks to de-bank them, force soc. media to remove their postings and/or shadow ban them or close their accounts all together, indict them on bogus and stitched together crimes? God good, I pray you can get out of the bubble and FINALLY take the red pill.
They are not really most people are independent voters that flip flop its more like 40-40-20 its pretty balanced hence why elections presidential are so close.
And thank God for the latter. But think of the demise of the Roman Republic. First it was the Gracchi (to whom Trump may be likened except they didn't succeed in killing him) then it spiraled downward to Marius and Sulla, Pompey, the triumvirs, Caesar, and finally the Empire. At least 3 full civil wars along the way.
The Democratic Party is a shambles! It’s a shell of what it once was. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson wouldn’t recognize the party they created. The Democratic Party stands for nothing and doesn’t run on a real policy platform. They have nothing to offer the American people other than “orange man bad!” and “we’re for good things and against bad things!” with some fear mongering sprinkled in for good measure. They offer nothing to your average American and no hope for the future. Instead of uniting with the President and the GOP to forge a new American consensus and get America back on track, they fight him every step of the way.
They even oppose policies that are beneficial for everyday Americans like the work of the DOGE, the MAHA Initiative, the peace talks in Alaska with Russia, the federal takeover to clean up Washington D.C., the mass deportations of illegal immigrants, etc. No matter what, they find a way to spin in negatively. If Trump and Republicans are doing it it’s bad and they must automatically oppose it no matter the merits of the policy. Look, I don’t agree with everything Trump has done and I’m no more a fan of the Republicans than I am the Democrats. I’m politically homeless, all I want is someone who gets positive stuff done on behalf of America and takes action rather than talks. Trump does that and for the most part, he’s done a good job. He’s accomplished more in one year than demented Joe Biden did in four years.
It’s no contest, Biden’s presidency was a disaster and left America a laughingstock. Donald Trump came and restored America like Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s. He’s no fascist, these Democrat and leftist protesters don’t even know the meaning of the word if they think Trump is one. No guys, a real fascist would be someone like Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, Antonio de Salazar, or Engelbert Dolfuss. Trump has not dissolved Congress, banned all other political parties, jailed protesters, ban criticism of him or his administration in the press, or established a secret police force. Historians and scholars are going to look back on this period in American history 100 years from now and wonder how everyone in this country didn’t get thrown in the looney bin, I tell you!
I’ve got a little reading list for all these protesters to learn about what actual fascism is. They desperately need to educate themselves:
• The Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by Thomas Childers
• The Life and Death of Adolf Hitler by James Cross Giblin
• Franco: A Personal and Political Biography by Stanley G. Payne
• Mussolini in Myth and Memory: The First Totalitarian Dictator by Paul Corner
• Dollfuss: An Austrian Patriot by Johannes Messner
• Salazar: The Dictator Who Refused to Die by Tom Gallagher
The negative spin offered by the Left is always some variation on "Trump wants to be King", though they offer no evidence for that claim. And that claim is supposed to be enough to cancel every good policy his admin puts forward and is a call for "#Resist", which has gotten very old and worn out. It ain't resistance if you are resisting the will of the People, it becomes cultish terrorism
I notice no one ever said Biden wanted to be king when he fired thousands of citizens virtually overnight because they refused to take a vaccine that didn’t prevent transmission. Noticeably, Congress and various others, including those flowing over the border during a pandemic, were not required to be vaccinated.
Franco wasn't actually a fascist. Germany and Italy helped in the civil war, as the Soviets helped the other side. Spanish fascists were part of his coalition along with conservatives, two kinds of royalists and the Catholic establishment. Franco sent a whole division of fascists off to help the Germans on the Eastern Front where they conveniently got killed. He was much more comfortable with the other elements of his coalition.
The Democrats know Trump is not a fascist. Otherwise, their fake bravado would have already deflated and they wouldn't be uttering a word. It's only safe to call someone a fascist when you know they are not. The Dems only undermine themselves with the constant use of false scare tactics.
I'm not sure I agree with your comment that the 'Democrats know Trump is not a fascist'.
I do think most Democrat leaders know that this is BS. But the average cultish Democrat has been trained to believe, and then mouth, any stupid narrative they are told. Anything.
I'm a former lifelong Democrat. Democrats have gone from calling Trump a fascist to a dictator to a king. Their self-generated hysteria around his presidency is why they are losing support. Back when I was doing political organizing with the Dems, there were communists at the extreme left of the party. There are no kings in the Republican Party.
Absolutely correct k. Our poor clown HL3 doesn't have a clue as to what is reality. Some of the most powerful Democrats, both past and current are Communists and/or have strong Communist affinity. Plain and simple.
And yet the Democrats question and try to hold him "accountable" every single day. The problem is the rest of the country doesn't agree so they are failing. If he was a king the Dems would have already been drawn and quartered. I think the real issue here is that Trump is succeeding while the rest of the country cheers him on and the Dems are clueless as to why.
The "rest of the country" includes me and all of the other former Democrats, particularly in the swing states, who left when the party broke from reality and then decided it was more important to protect criminals than citizens.
He is questioned every day. He's been held to account, having undergone two impeachment trials, several criminal trials, and numerous civil trials. When a judgement goes against him, he always uses the legal system to appeal and push back, but he has always abided by the courts' decisions.
If he were as you described, he would not have shown for a single one of these hearings and he would abolish the judicial and legislative branches.
Of course there was so Marxist black leaders some wanted to exploit the movement in the 60s and some just wanted the entire system burned since they been so hurt by it.
You can walk around a Democrat fundraiser introducing yourself as an avowed Communist and nobody even bats an eye. Your endless attempts at equivocation have never held up.
Now stay here and yell back and forth at people who want you to leave rather than go somewhere that your party is talking, coward.
Umm many Democrats do not want them see the NY race even the mention of the word makes them frightened but the like the socialism like programs Just like GOP have no issues with authoritarian like people but calling them that gets them angry.
My neighborhood was North Korea with obedience to the State and Dear Leader ("winter of severe illness and death") Joe Biden. I will never understand how these very same people did not see how closing down businesses, shutting down schools, forcing masking and forcing medications was not the "fascism" they feared.
The biggest mistake of Donald Trump's life was giving in to pressure from the fascist Left and shutting down the country in March 2020 which created all types of perverse effects we still see today. I am sure his calculus, in an election year, was he needed to go with the flow so he would not be blamed for deaths leading up to the election. He should have had more courage and followed the Swedish example. He lost the election anyway ("lost" because giving in to the Left allowed them to change the voting laws under the Trump imposed "emergency")
He had an army of obstructionist acting against the whole time too. We were all naive to the dirty tricks and full media blitz against. We saw it but we somehow were bullied into silence.
Well, I spoke up as much as I always did (politely, when a door opened to the subject - I've never been the "sledge hammer over the head" type, out IRL). I decided early on that I was going to pretend like I didn't have a mask on and just talk to people, as always.
The really crazy thing is that they tried the "everyone we don' like is a fascist" during the 2024 election cycle and it didn't work. So, now the strategy is to just scream it louder and maybe it will work now?
Correct. The Left has not yet lost badly enough to understand that their strategy is not working. They will continue to double-down on crazy until they suffer a 1972 scale loss (GOP taking 49 states and winning the popular vote by an astounding 23% the last time the crazies took control). Only then will the few rational Democrats gain the necessary leverage to keep the crazies in check.
Negative... look up Nixon vs. McGovern in 1972. Reagan similarly won 49 states in 1984 but it was a more conventional election based on Reagan's popularity; in 1972 the lunatics had taken over the Democratic party.
PS: That's right... the Dems lost 49 states twice in just 12 years.
You are right, I always forget about Nixon, yet never forgot the crazy democrat party of the sixties. Reagan always stuck out to me because my life long democratic mother switched her party that year. My mistake.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.”
I’m so tired of everyone calling these folks “protesters”. They are nothing of the kind. They’re all being paid to be there by a few rich folks bemoaning the loss of their power as you said. We should start calling them what they are…. The hired help. 🤨👍🌴
They don't think that anyone else has any rights: paving the way for their One-Party State! "Our means are justified by our ends". The Far Left long ago started calling "Far Right" anyone who rejected their ideology. WAPO referred to Christopher Rufo as "Far Right", when he is really just (like me) Near Left. I know an anti-democratic ideology when I see one, and that is the Far Left. (Also Islam) I think that, if they win in 2028, they will block almost all Repos from the ballot for
"insurrection!" The 14th Amendment applies not only to "insurrectionists", but also to those who give them "aid and comfort, or words to that effect.
LOL!! The Left tries hard to rig elections and our political system, gerrymandering states to have zero GOP representation even though there are 30-40% GOP in the state, to achieve a one=party state which is the definition of fascism. And then they have the balls to accuse conservatives who are happy with multi-parties and free speech of being the fascists. You can't make this stuff up
In the current redistricting/Gerrymandering fight, what really angers/scares the Democrats is that they have ALREADY squeezed the maximum partisan advantage out of their big states, whereas the Republicans have not... therefore the Republicans have much more gas in the tank to wage this fight. Add the expected big Blue-to-Red population shifts in the 2030 census and the Dems are really at their last gasp here and desperate to delay the inevitable.
Well, CA could still squeeze out 4 or so more Democrats.....it would probably be taken to court and then to SCOTUS because it would fully be denying a large percentage of people, their representation in Congress and in the electoral college.
Newsom would need to set aside a referendum vote by the people of CA to control the redistricting process. You are right, that would be overturned on appeal to the SC. He will not be governor the next term as he is up against term limits, so maybe he feels he has nothing to lose. And he is appealing to the Far and militant Left of his party for the 2028 Presidential election. Not sure why he thinks he can win by going even further left than Kamala Harris
"They genuinely believe it because they have absolutely no idea what fascism means. They don’t seem to know what any of the big words they throw around mean because, to them, it is merely a method of control."
Yes...I've noticed that. They use the twisting of language to control, in many ways. Such as giving high and noble labels/names to some of their most heinous groups. Often something to do with "human rights". I think the UN-types started that trend decades ago.
Or they stick the suffix "phobia" on the end of some word, and pretend it is a verifiable crime.
Ah yes.... the "human rights " scam. I am certain that the particulars were cooked-up around some faculty table at a leftwing university in the 60s, in deference to the UN and Neo-Marxist hierarchies/mothership.
Ryan is one of those fools caught in the mass psychosis, but he is too far overtaken by it to see that. So he thinks he is very clever making all of his silly comments here.
Question: how do these people hysterically screaming “fascist” and “Nazi” and organizing protests replete with professional signs and banners have the time and resources to do so? Are they calling in sick to work or are they funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundation or by the billions from Qatar flowing through academia and government? This movement against “fascism” is well organized, well coordinated and well funded.
According to Crowds on Demand, yes an actual company providing bodies for protests, 80% of protestors are paid to be there. FOX's Lawrence Jones tried to pin the CEO down on who their clients are that are paying for these rent-a-mobs, but with no luck.
I'll bet you the weekly fee for a rent-a-mob that the Soros Organization signs their paychecks.
Wow. Wowowow. I know a lot and did not know about this. Just wow. And the idiot other media peddles the lie that its organic community protest.
Because it is BS!
As I recall, the group recently upped the amount they would pay protesters. I know it was $400, but I don't remember if it was $400 a day.
Heck, you only get $500 per day for ferrying airplanes. These folks are well paid!
You nailed it - 100% - I watched Jones's interview and it confirmed my suspicions that the majority of these "protests" are Lenin's "useful idiots" who are there mostly for a paycheck.

It is obvious that 98 percent of protests are from the left.
It's pretty obvious that your sad ass would be out there with a bullhorn.

NW, name one Republican protest you can prove used this service. Otherwise, I'm calling BS on your point.
I bet you live in NW DC or the Pacific NW.

There are funds behind all of it and that won't end.

If we were really a fascist state Trump would sic the IRS and the rest of Treasury on this paper trail to find out the source of the money and name names.
It's not fascist if they did that to the ones funding violent protests, which aren't "protests", but rather, RIOTS.
Which would increase both Dems & Repubs along with lots of other events. Repubs don't want it revealed...
What the heck are you talking about? The only place I've seen any links to these companies, is conservative sites, by conservatives. Dems deny it's real.
Correct. It will not end. The money supply is endless.
And very white.
The answer to whether or not Soros funds these groups......YES, and it's been proven. Soros even funded the NO on recall against Newsom (proof).
Bingo. That plus welfare, medicaid, food stamps, college loans, and endless other subsidies.
Do the following search to get a sense of the organizations that (indirectly) pays some of these protesters:
"crowds on demand vs rent a crowd vs astroturf"
And pro-CCP billionaire Neville Roy Singham is one of the big names providing funding for these protests.
That marxist twit Singham is married to the harridan, er, ah, woman who founded Code Pink.
https://www.influencewatch.org/person/neville-roy-singham/
It's astroturf, paid protesting
“This movement against “fascism” is well organized, well coordinated and well funded.”
In a very similar way to Hitlers SA yet we are the “fascist”.
Probably a lot of former (Democrat) government employees that got laid off or fired. Every new president does “housecleaning” to get rid of possible saboteurs and obstructionist employees that have no intention of supporting the new admin.
They are all on welfare and the protesters get extra money under the table. No taxes on tips !
Very good and timely piece. Volodymyr Zelensky is a fascist supported by out uniparty.

Amen brother and thank you.
Two-tier justice -- it has become another of those common lockstep tactics used by Totalitarian leaders across the West.
Indeed
This may not be your best article ever, but it absolutely is on the short list.
Great discourse on how to identify fascism and why we don't have it.
Thanks for this.
(And, yes, so true: they throw around big words for which they don't know the meaning.)
Noah Rothman wrote a book title The New Puritans.
That's who Sasha is talking about.
Purity tests from the left.
Sane Democrats like Dean Philips and Joe Lieberman?
Voted off the island.
Lieberman was the last sane Democrat that loved Americans.
I appreciate the article and her effort, but it is futile to try and use facts and logic on the far left.
Futile on a good day. They're impervious to both every day.

We are a democratic republic and none of the stunts the left pulls align with that concept. Know and learn the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
I think it more accurate to say we are a constitutional republic. The Constitution sets the legal framework and representative form of democracy.
We are a Federalist Republic meaning that states (and cities) have rights and their own limited sovereignty held together by the Federal power of Washington and its ability to defend and secure freedom for the nation (and that includes insuring domestic safety in our streets). It works. There really is no other way to stitch together a country as geographically and ethnically diverse as the United States of America.

Maybe civil war is the only option at this point. It doesn't look like we're gonna solve this on TikTok and Twitter
There is force, like Lincoln.
A republic is a democracy in state form.
We used to be.

Sadly, yes. But Trump is in there fighting for us!!
He fights for MAGA and that is it.
You're absolutely right. He fights for anyone who puts America first and wants to make America great again.
Dissidents and haters like you have a problem with that.
You mean puts Trump first and that's it because anyone who dares speak against them he attacks and punishes them.
Oh please......he calls them a name? Is that what you mean by "attacks"? Geez....does he sic the IRS on them, get the banks to de-bank them, force soc. media to remove their postings and/or shadow ban them or close their accounts all together, indict them on bogus and stitched together crimes? God good, I pray you can get out of the bubble and FINALLY take the red pill.
Well if he fights for MAGA and MAGA turns out to be the majority, how would you say that differs from democracy?
They are not really most people are independent voters that flip flop its more like 40-40-20 its pretty balanced hence why elections presidential are so close.
They were MAGA enough for a popular vote win.
And thank God for the latter. But think of the demise of the Roman Republic.

Ostensibly, we still are. We need to lean that belief to our benefit. It is their Achilles' heel.

Franco sent a whole division of fascists off to help the Germans on the Eastern Front where they conveniently got killed. He was much more comfortable with the other elements of his coalition.
Society is, by and large, two groups: rational and irrational.
The rational one can problem solve. The irrational one, because irrationality is caused by emotional immaturity, name-calls.
Emotional people do not have arguments. They emote. This is name-calling. It is their way.
SELF-control (AKA free will) is the gateway to rationality.
"The respect and awe for the Lord God, is the beginning of wisdom".....that couldn't hurt either.
The Democrats know Trump is not a fascist. Otherwise, their fake bravado would have already deflated and they wouldn't be uttering a word. It's only safe to call someone a fascist when you know they are not. The Dems only undermine themselves with the constant use of false scare tactics.
I'm not sure I agree with your comment that the 'Democrats know Trump is not a fascist'.
I do think most Democrat leaders know that this is BS. But the average cultish Democrat has been trained to believe, and then mouth, any stupid narrative they are told. Anything.
"It's only safe to call someone a fascist when you know they are not." That is the truth. I'm adding that to my future bumper sticker collection.
Just like GOP calling Democrats communists both play the name calling
I'm a former lifelong Democrat. Democrats have gone from calling Trump a fascist to a dictator to a king. Their self-generated hysteria around his presidency is why they are losing support. Back when I was doing political organizing with the Dems, there were communists at the extreme left of the party. There are no kings in the Republican Party.
Absolutely correct k. Our poor clown HL3 doesn't have a clue as to what is reality. Some of the most powerful Democrats, both past and current are Communists and/or have strong Communist affinity. Plain and simple.
There is a king like its Trump he cannot be questioned or held accountable.
And yet the Democrats question and try to hold him "accountable" every single day. The problem is the rest of the country doesn't agree so they are failing. If he was a king the Dems would have already been drawn and quartered. I think the real issue here is that Trump is succeeding while the rest of the country cheers him on and the Dems are clueless as to why.
The rest means MAGA and they hate every aspect of Democrats have been since Obama.
The "rest of the country" includes me and all of the other former Democrats, particularly in the swing states, who left when the party broke from reality and then decided it was more important to protect criminals than citizens.
He is questioned every day. He's been held to account, having undergone two impeachment trials, several criminal trials, and numerous civil trials. When a judgement goes against him, he always uses the legal system to appeal and push back, but he has always abided by the courts' decisions.
If he were as you described, he would not have shown for a single one of these hearings and he would abolish the judicial and legislative branches.
Questioned is not the same thing and he ignores it
False. He answers every question.
Your Trump is a pure figment of your fantasy about him.
His mug shot says otherwise.
And it means nothing same as a parking ticket.
No, fool. It means he willingly subjected himself to accountability before our judicial system.
The have communist way of thinking.
Blm had Marxist leaders
Mandamus is a communist according to his stated policies
The head of the library association is a self described Marxist
Read the teachers union manifesto and describe their policies!!!
Over 40 percent of young adults hat capitalism what is their alternative?
Ask any immigrant escaping a communist country what they see happening here.
Granted it is not exactly the same but the ideologies are certainly not a free democracy.
Of course there was so Marxist black leaders some wanted to exploit the movement in the 60s and some just wanted the entire system burned since they been so hurt by it.
You can walk around a Democrat fundraiser introducing yourself as an avowed Communist and nobody even bats an eye. Your endless attempts at equivocation have never held up.
Now stay here and yell back and forth at people who want you to leave rather than go somewhere that your party is talking, coward.
Umm many Democrats do not want them see the NY race even the mention of the word makes them frightened but the like the socialism like programs Just like GOP have no issues with authoritarian like people but calling them that gets them angry.
A few are communists, many are socialists, and some are still traditional anti-communist, JFK Democrats.
A socialist is a communist with patience.
Excellent and well-spotted!
My neighborhood was North Korea with obedience to the State and Dear Leader ("winter of severe illness and death") Joe Biden. I will never understand how these very same people did not see how closing down businesses, shutting down schools, forcing masking and forcing medications was not the "fascism" they feared.
The biggest mistake of Donald Trump's life was giving in to pressure from the fascist Left and shutting down the country in March 2020 which created all types of perverse effects we still see today. I am sure his calculus, in an election year, was he needed to go with the flow so he would not be blamed for deaths leading up to the election. He should have had more courage and followed the Swedish example. He lost the election anyway ("lost" because giving in to the Left allowed them to change the voting laws under the Trump imposed "emergency")
He had an army of obstructionist acting against the whole time too. We were all naive to the dirty tricks and full media blitz against. We saw it but we somehow were bullied into silence.
Well, I spoke up as much as I always did (politely, when a door opened to the subject - I've never been the "sledge hammer over the head" type, out IRL). I decided early on that I was going to pretend like I didn't have a mask on and just talk to people, as always.
Because they have left reality.
The really crazy thing is that they tried the "everyone we don' like is a fascist" during the 2024 election cycle and it didn't work. So, now the strategy is to just scream it louder and maybe it will work now?
Correct. The Left has not yet lost badly enough to understand that their strategy is not working. They will continue to double-down on crazy until they suffer a 1972 scale loss (GOP taking 49 states and winning the popular vote by an astounding 23% the last time the crazies took control). Only then will the few rational Democrats gain the necessary leverage to keep the crazies in check.
The problem is that there are so few rational democrats left, they CAN'T keep the crazies in check. The crazies are running the democrat show.
I think you meant 1982 when Reagan swept the election
Negative... look up Nixon vs. McGovern in 1972. Reagan similarly won 49 states in 1984 but it was a more conventional election based on Reagan's popularity; in 1972 the lunatics had taken over the Democratic party.
PS: That's right... the Dems lost 49 states twice in just 12 years.
McGovern was moderate compared to today's Democrats.
You are right, I always forget about Nixon, yet never forgot the crazy democrat party of the sixties. Reagan always stuck out to me because my life long democratic mother switched her party that year. My mistake.
But Dems got ahold of the House soon after, if I recall. Their big loss in the House came in '84?
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.”
Biblical quotes do not always work in the modern time. That one certainly fits.
I’m so tired of everyone calling these folks “protesters”. They are nothing of the kind. They’re all being paid to be there by a few rich folks bemoaning the loss of their power as you said. We should start calling them what they are…. The hired help. 🤨👍🌴

So who are the Fascists?
Obama was the puppet master of everything Biden administration
They don't think that anyone else has any rights: paving the way for their One-Party State! "Our means are justified by our ends". The Far Left long ago started calling "Far Right" anyone who rejected their ideology. WAPO referred to Christopher Rufo as "Far Right", when he is really just (like me) Near Left. I know an anti-democratic ideology when I see one, and that is the Far Left. (Also Islam) I think that, if they win in 2028, they will block almost all Repos from the ballot for
"insurrection!" The 14th Amendment applies not only to "insurrectionists", but also to those who give them "aid and comfort, or words to that effect.
LOL!! The Left tries hard to rig elections and our political system, gerrymandering states to have zero GOP representation even though there are 30-40% GOP in the state, to achieve a one=party state which is the definition of fascism. And then they have the balls to accuse conservatives who are happy with multi-parties and free speech of being the fascists. You can't make this stuff up
In the current redistricting/Gerrymandering fight, what really angers/scares the Democrats is that they have ALREADY squeezed the maximum partisan advantage out of their big states, whereas the Republicans have not... therefore the Republicans have much more gas in the tank to wage this fight. Add the expected big Blue-to-Red population shifts in the 2030 census and the Dems are really at their last gasp here and desperate to delay the inevitable.
Well, CA could still squeeze out 4 or so more Democrats.....it would probably be taken to court and then to SCOTUS because it would fully be denying a large percentage of people, their representation in Congress and in the electoral college.
Newsom would need to set aside a referendum vote by the people of CA to control the redistricting process. You are right, that would be overturned on appeal to the SC. He will not be governor the next term as he is up against term limits, so maybe he feels he has nothing to lose. And he is appealing to the Far and militant Left of his party for the 2028 Presidential election. Not sure why he thinks he can win by going even further left than Kamala Harris
At this point it is a kaleidoscope of "we can't make these things up" and oh look, they're happily jumping on some fresh new cow patties!
In the mid-60s, the norm for middle-class American culture would be called "serious rightwing extremism" now.
Everything is relative. Makes me laugh what they consider "rightwing-ism" today. Only because they themselves are so far left.
"They genuinely believe it because they have absolutely no idea what fascism means. They don’t seem to know what any of the big words they throw around mean because, to them, it is merely a method of control."
Yes...I've noticed that. They use the twisting of language to control, in many ways. Such as giving high and noble labels/names to some of their most heinous groups. Often something to do with "human rights". I think the UN-types started that trend decades ago.
Or they stick the suffix "phobia" on the end of some word, and pretend it is a verifiable crime.
Ah yes.... the "human rights " scam. I am certain that the particulars were cooked-up around some faculty table at a leftwing university in the 60s, in deference to the UN and Neo-Marxist hierarchies/mothership.
Always project upon your enemy what you are guilty of.
I would say that Hamas are the most enormous projectors I have ever known.
Yes, indeed!
Observing a lot of that in here and in the comments section.
HAHA. Get out of your bubble.
Ryan is one of those fools caught in the mass psychosis, but he is too far overtaken by it to see that. So he thinks he is very clever making all of his silly comments here.
I think most of us just grin and ignore him.
Amen sister! Another good one Sasha, thanks!
