Republicans are now vowing Total War. And the consequences could be immense.

35. They are Fascists clear and simple

I have written in many many many DU threads that the Republican party is a vast criminal enterprise. Headed mostly by capitalist oligarchs, who seek more and more wealth and power. Never ever forget that Nazis came to power in the 1930's funded by German capitalists. They thought that they could use the rabble rousing hate mongerers Nazi brown shirts to defeat socialists and communists and destroy the labor movement, but their industries ended up being nationalized for war effort. Hitler himself was a gigantic liar and con artist, promising for years better living conditions, jobs, and peace with no war. Little did the German people know that Hitler and the Nazis would utterly destroy their country into a pile of ruin and rubble.

You have to really understand what Fascism is and how it got started by Mussolini, who was also backed and funded by Italian capitalists. Fascism blossoms when corporate capitalists and bankers put up a strongman leader to ensure that they can keep their monopolies running very smoothly and minimize labor costs in the extreme. Fascism is quite content to use brutal tactics to impose its agenda and stiffle all dissent. American Fascists will use any excuse to fear and hate-monger the poor, the disaffected, and the ignorant to do their dirty work of undermining democracy.

People better wake up. The #1 thing that we need to do is secure the vote to be free and fair to all our voting age citizens. Obama has said that his post-retirement project will be opposing voter suppression and gerrymandering. If we can successfully vote these Fascist creeps out of office, we can overcome this blight. It will not be easy, because they don't fight fair.
