Who’s the fascist?
Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies.
Whenever I point this out to some Democrat they’ll invariably claim, “You don’t even know what fascism is!” So, let’s explore fascism a little.
Listed below are 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.
2. Censorship of free speech by pretending this protects the citizenry from faulty information.
3. Government control of industry.
4. Government control of the mainstream media.
5. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda.
6. Political dissidents are to be persecuted for fabricated “crimes” under the color of law through the courts.
7. Political dissidents are locked up for months/years without a trial.
8. Extreme nationalism (Democrats hate the USA, but are all for “Woke” America)
9. Purposeful division of the population along racial and ethnic lines as a means to power.
10. 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.
11. Certain criminals are turned into martyrs.
12. Destruction of statues and art of the pre-fascist order.
13. You accuse dissidents of the very crimes you yourself commit.
14. You justify all of it for the “common good.”
The Democratic Party of 2025 is a fascist party.

Joe Biden gave a speech in front of a blood red background flanked by Marines basically calling half the country dangerous fascists.
Lord, forgive him, for he knew not what he was doing.
But his handlers knew precisely what he was doing, Fred.
Bravo, Fred! A powerful statement of clarity and facts. Tell it!
Yes, this was a great piece that Fred authored, J. Sobran.
