Yup. It’ll stay that way.

It’s all fun till it’s pointed at you, that’s what keeps em circling the fascist/technocrat wagons.

Dear Insurrectionists and Fascists: I’m sorry I offended you


WAPO Opinion
Who knew strongmen were so fragile?

The insurrectionists of Jan. 6 busted into the Capitol, hit police with fire extinguishers, flagpoles, bats, stun guns and pepper spray; they threatened to kill the vice president and tried to overthrow the 2020 election. And now, they want an apology.

MAGA Republican leaders have fomented violence, attacked the rule of law and deceived tens of millions of people into rejecting the outcome of free and fair elections. And now, they, too, want an apology.

I’m sorry, but these authoritarians have some terribly tender egos. They need to pull themselves up by their own jackboot-straps.

On Thursday, the very day President Biden spoke from Philadelphia’s Independence Hall pleading with Americans to “stop the assault on American democracy,” former president Donald Trump called for reparations for those who assaulted democracy on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump told a right-wing radio host that, if he returns to power, he plans “full pardons with an apology to many” who attacked the Capitol.

He also claimed he is “financially supporting” some of those charged in the insurrection to defend them from “sick” prosecutors and “nasty” judges. Oath Keepers? Proud Boys? Unclear. He didn’t say which insurrectionists he’s bankrolling.

Hours later, Kevin McCarthy, in Scranton, Pa., gave a prebuttal of Biden’s democracy speech in which the House Republican leader demanded that Biden apologize to MAGA Republicans for calling their ideology “semi-fascism.” “The first lines out of his mouth should be to apologize for slandering tens of millions of Americans as fascists,” McCarthy said.

Of course, Biden’s semi-fascism remark was directed at MAGA leaders such as Trump and McCarthy — not the masses they’ve hornswoggled with their anti-democratic lies. But McCarthy used a classic fascist tool: casting the powerful in-group as the persecuted.

McCarthy has tried this move before. After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called McCarthy a “moron” last year over his objections to pandemic mask-wearing, he tried to sell T-shirts that said “Moron” in big letters and (falsely) claimed Pelosi had applied the label to all “freedom loving Americans.”

Is there no limit to the authoritarians’ hurt feelings? Insurrectionists are victims. Fascists are victims. Even right-wing fashion victims are victims. A new outlet calling itself “The Conservateur” just published an equine-themed fashion spread of Lara Trump, showing her atop a horse, barefoot, wearing a "gauze gown belted with clustered pearls.” Complains the Conservateur: “Despite her beauty and accomplishments ... Lara was never interviewed by Vanity Fair, Elle, Marie Claire or any of the other fashion and lifestyle magazines.”

As the unauthorized spokesman for fashion magazines, I humbly and unreservedly apologize to the former president’s daughter-in-law for this unforgivable oversight.

While I’m apologizing, let me offer one to the insurrectionists, as Trump demanded:

I regret that the heads and bodies of police officers got in the way of your truncheons and flagpoles while you were engaging in Legitimate Political Discourse at the Capitol. I hope that you didn’t hurt your fingers while gouging their eyes, and that their blood didn’t stain your tactical assault gear; if it did, please send me the dry-cleaning bill! I am so sorry that, on your Normal Tourist Visit, you didn’t get to use your noose or all the guns stockpiled at the Comfort Inn in Alexandria. Please forgive me for previously quibbling with your plan to “hang Mike Pence” and your use of the Confederate flag in the halls of Congress. I apologize that you had to break windows and doors, climb scaffolding and rappel into the Senate chamber. My bad! Next time you want to overthrow an American election, just knock.

And here’s an apology to the semi-fascists, as McCarthy demanded:

I’m so sorry you’ve convinced millions of people to believe the egregious lie that the 2020 election was stolen. I’m sorry you are making heroes of the criminals who attacked our seat of government. I’m sorry you’re currently fomenting violence against the FBI and the IRS. I’m sorry you’re passing laws giving yourselves more power to overthrow the 2024 election results if you lose, and I’m sorry you’re nominating candidates committed to doing so. I’m sorry you don’t like it when the Justice Department enforces the law and protects national security. I’m sorry you’ve lionized Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban, and I’m sorry you say that the Democratic Party, not Vladimir Putin’s Russia, is the real enemy. I regret that you’ve taken away women’s rights. I regret that you’re banning books and censoring history lessons. I regret that you are shunning science, expertise and the truth. Above all, I’m truly sorry that, because of such things, Biden called you semi-fascists.

There’s really nothing “semi” about it.

That's what I've been saying.. this new breed Republican mentality... they act all hard, talking the talk, walking the walk, talking free speech as they raise their guns and move to safe spaces where they can hear only what they want to hear (that's free speech now apparently)... start cancelling people in places they can't (like cbid lmfao)... Hypocrite much? I guess it's only America if it's the America they want... with people that think like them.

Soft.

I'm sorry Robert you didn't credit the op-ed to Dana Milbank. That's just plain rude. You've got to give LEFTY credit where credit is due you know.
It's such a nicely crafted WAPO propaganda piece. It so blatantly projects "fascism" onto everything RIGHTY like scattershot without even defining what the word means.
C'mon Man, where's the critique of the actual fascist policies of the LEFTY Biden regime?

I'm sorry but the meaning of words matters to me.

Does The Definition Of ‘Fascism’ Apply To The Biden Administration?

You Should check out Truth Social. It’s the liars club on steroids.

What a bunch knuckle draggers….

Y’all still got your pink pus$y hats in case Trump wins again?

Wait - can he win for a THIRD time?

Cause he said he already won twice….

With the supply chain issues I gotta get my orders in:

1. MAGA hat, torch, and pitchfork set.
2. Pink pus$y hat, torch, and pitchfork set.

Whatever I don’t sell I’ll donate to Africa for the tax write-off just like those Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Champions shirts.

(Ima get some bumper stickers too: “it’s a Tesla, go around!”)

😂 Sure LEFTY still has those pink pus$y hats with cat-like ears and their vagina hats too.

Good afternoon RayR, how is your day?

Your peasant envy is noted.

His pants are full….you take him…

Rfenster does your link mirror your feelings?

Do you associate people who assaulted police with everyone there? If the feds had plants and encouraged illegal acts how do you feel? What about people that got let in to the capital building? You know the guy who literally moved a lectern 20 yards to give a mock speech got 5 years probation?

May I ask how a group of people were going to occupy a building and take over the government? Acting logistics here how does that work functionally….I’d really love to know that. We’ve already established that not all federal buildings are equal when attacked.

You win RayR...

I surrender...

Spam till your little heart is content.

See how you are. I give you my original thoughts and you're not happy.
I give you LINKS and you're not happy.
You are just miserable!

But I accept your surrender. \:D/

The favorite smear of the leftist... "fascist!"

Every republican president in the last few decades has been called that. Fascism is not a political phenomenon of the right, just because some retard white-supremacists embrace the label.

Who is the philosopher of fascism? Bueller? Anyone?

Historians, most on the left, erased him from history to avoid confronting fascism's actual beliefs. Giovanni Gentile.

He was pretty influential in the first half of the 20th century. He believed there were 2 opposing types of democracy. Liberal democracy, such as the United States, which he dismissed as egocentric - too centered on freedom and personal rights and therefore selfish. The one he recommended was "true democracy", in which individuals willingly subordinate themselves to the state.

Guess who his philosophy mentor was? Karl Marx. Gentile was a committed socialist, and fascism was it's most workable form to him. Socialism divides people by class. Fascism does it by national identity and class. Fascists are socialists with a national identity. Know why in 1930's some Germans were called Nazi's? It's a contraction of National socialist.

Gentile believed all private actions should be to serve society. No difference between private and public interest. And who administers these interests? The government. So to submit to society is to submit to the government. Not just in economic stuff... but all stuff. Everything is political... so the state gets to tell you what to think and what to do.

Mussolini turned Gentile's ideas into action. Turned out pretty bad.

Lefties can't acknowledge this guy, because it would ruin their attempt to tie fascism to conservatives when in fact... it is directly tied to the left.

Many sources attribute the creation of Manhattan clam chowder to Giovanni Gentile who was known both for his traditional tomato-based stews and for their frequent travels to New York City's Fulton Fish Market during the mid-1800s.

Manhattan clam chowder traces to Portugal.

Giovanni sounds like the kinda guy you could sit down with and have a bottle of Chianti and some tortellini. Then he starts in on this whole state this and state that and you’re like “Dude, enough with the state stuff. Try the cannoli.”

I could go for a bottle of Chianti and some tortellini right now.
Ya, I hate the STATE.
When that Lyin' Dicktator Biden says you are a ‘clear and present danger’ to duhmacracy, he really means you are a ‘clear and present danger to the state, his regime, the soul of the nation.

I think the MAGA Rats are still fascists - whether they eat clam chowder or not.
