Schwab: To discern fascism, ask the generation that fought it

By Sid Schwab / Herald columnist

Memorial Day. Compare and contrast:

President Biden: “On this day, we come together again to reflect, to remember, but above all, to recommit to the future our fallen heroes fought for … a future grounded in freedom, democracy, equality, tolerance, opportunity, and … justice. … [T]he truest memorial to their lives is to act every day to ensure that our democracy endures, our Constitution endures, and the soul of our nation and our decency endures.”

Trump: “Happy Memorial Day to all, but especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country they love, and to those in line of a very different, but equally dangerous fire, stopping the threats of the terrorists, misfits and lunatic thugs who are working feverishly from within to overturn and destroy our once great country, which has never been in greater peril than it is right now. We must stop the communists, Marxists and fascist ‘pigs’ at every turn and, Make America Great Again!” (“Happy Memorial Day” to soldiers who died?)

DeSantis: “I will destroy leftism and leave woke ideology in the dustbin of history.” (Really? How?)
