What is a fascist?

P/J Media  Instapundit

Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.

I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably claims "Derrrrr... you don't even know what fascism is!" So let's explore fascism a little, shall we?

Listed below are attributes and practices that all 20th Century fascists have in common with the Democrat Party of 2025:

1. Laws promoting the seizure of guns from law-abiding citizens and/or the denial of gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens.
2. Censorship of free speech by pretending such censorship protects the citizenry from faulty information (i.e., so-called "disinformation").
3. Government control of industry.
4. Government control of the mass media.
5. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda. (See: Leni Riefenstahl; Walt Disney Corporation.)
6. Children belong to the State and not their parents.
7. Political dissidents and opposing political leadership are to be persecuted for fabricated "crimes" under the color of law through the courts.
8. Political dissidents are locked up for months/years without a trial.
9. Leading political opponents who are a threat to the fascist order are to be assassinated.
10. Extreme nationalism (Democrats hate the United States of America, but are extreme nationalistic zealots for the Woke States of America).
11. Purposeful division of the population along racial and ethnic lines as a means to power.
12. Leadership of the ruling fascist party is chosen by party leaders without any input from rank-and-file party members, but an illusion of democracy is perpetuated. (See: Kamala as nominee with zero votes.)
13. Certain party criminals are turned into martyrs upon their demise. (See: Horst Wessel; Saint George Floyd.)
14. Destruction of statues, symbols and art of the pre-fascist order.
15. Accuse dissidents of the very crimes you yourself commit.
16. Justify all of it for the "common good."

The Democrat Party of 2025 is a fascist party. Spread the word.

They aren't all fascists. Some are commies.

Just when I thought Gcodes sources couldn't get any worse, he comes up with a partnership between PJMedia and Instapundit.

When you don't have much time ad need your misinformation condensed....PJMedia/Instapundit comes to the rescue! 

It seems straight arrow news didn't hold your interest for long. Not enough disinformation there?

PJMedia and Instapundit.

PJ Media and Instapundit are one and the same
That post is not a "source". it's an opinion piece.
and
a valid argument can be made for every bullet point on that list.

Is there, or is there not a basis in fact for every point made?
I'm awaiting your response 😁🍿

I think we all know what his response will be.

It will be a long wait.
Smit's military grade rose colored glasses shut down when he saw PJ Media/Instapundit.
He never actually read the opinion piece and is not capable of formulating a coherent reply.

Not reading your misinformation web sites is a coherent reply.

SAN just wasn't giving you what you needed was it?

That doesn't make any sense.
 One might call it incoherent 🍿🤣🍿🤣🍿

Ignorance is bliss.
I even posted the entire opinion piece for you, so you didn't have to venture into such dangerous and confusing waters.

Thanks but I'm thinking I don't really want to read your sources trying to redefine fascism to fit your purposes.

Here's a link to a dictionary. I'll stick to that one.

fascism noun

Translation:
"Thanks but I prefer to disregard facts because my rose colored glasses will stop working."

fascism noun

so to quote your link:

often Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

that actually makes Gcode's case better than Gcode's original article. I can break it down to the TLDR version to explain it if you want, but I suppose you would prefer that i didn't.

but for a shortened version, Trump is decentralizing the Federal govt. and it is Democrats that put race above individuals, with social and economic regimentation.
