Dems Double Down on Fascist Fetish
https://patriotpost.us/articles/121255-dems-double-down-on-fascist-fetish-2025-09-29Time was when Republican presidents were supposedly either stupid or evil. Ike and Reagan and W were stupid. Nixon and Trump were evil.
Those were the days — the days when Democrats restricted their petty and pathetic name-calling to either of two convenient categories. Donald Trump, though, has flummoxed the Democrats by defying that easy categorization.
Trump is worse than evil, their focus-group thinking went, and so are his supporters. So we need a new smear. It doesn’t need to be accurate or historically defensible. It just needs to roll off the tongue and conjure up the worst of all possible images. “Nazi” is good, but Trump hasn’t yet invaded Europe and rounded up all the Jews, so that might strain credulity even among our dim-witted minions. So it needs to be like “Nazi,” but not quite so Nazi-like. It needs to be … think, think, think … fascist! We’ll call them fascists!
The Trump-era Democrats had found their smear. Mind you, they haven’t found any good ideas to run on, nor have they managed to pull their historically awful polling numbers out of trial-lawyer territory, but they’ve got their smear, by golly.
Deflect and project. The leftist way. The left is the Fascist.
