Showing Original Post only (View all)Attack the GOP for creeping FASCISM like they attack us for creeping socialism! [View all]
They have already begun the mantra of creeping socialism as their method of attempting to scare the voters away from our party. I must say that, as always, they are doing a great job of being highly coordinated and out in force pushing and pushing this line of attack. That's how they win elections. They push and push and push, and they repeat and repeat and repeat......and what they say eventually becomes fact to a sizeable portion of the electorate.
We should be doing the same thing with creeping "fascism/death of the rule of law" as an issue. Of course we aren't doing that at this point, and with whatever tac we eventually take, we almost certainly won't be as tough, won't be as coordinated, and won't be as constant as the GOP's attacks on us. We never are, are we?
Right now, too many in our party are doing the usual "scared of their own shadow routine". You know.....for example....."we had better not be too tough on Trump's adult children", two of whom work at the top of our government and have top security clearances, or "we will be seen as too tough and too ready to attack". Meanwhile, they constantly attack us with false garbage in as vile a manner as possible.
I can't stand them, but I admire the GOP's discipline. I wish we had it. Since their top people are CONSTANTLY attacking us with the socialism label, why can't our top people CONSTANTLY attack them with the fascism label?
They are in the middle of an overt effort to fascistically rule America:
1. Trump and crew are acting in an authoritarian/fascist manner right out in the open.
2. The overwhelming percentage of the GOP in both houses are right out in the open trying to kill the rule of law and allow Trump to break the law with impunity.
3. They are aligning with a Russian led international movement that is comprised of a collection of authoritarian/fascist leaning despots.
4. They fascistically prevent certain groups of Americans from voting, which helps to steal elections.
5. Because of stolen elections (thanks to voter suppression and Russian interference) and their fascistic blockage of our judicial appointments, they are setting up a judiciary that will certainly try to force eighty percent of Americans to live according to the fundamentalist Christian dogma of twenty percent of Americans.
I don't think we should be worried about looking "too strident" when dealing with these people!
