Who Are The Real 'Semi-Fascists'?
[ISSUESANDINSIGHTS] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....
 caused quite a stir late last week after accusing supporters of former President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
 of following a political creed of "semi-fascism
...a political system developed in Italy, symbolized by the Roman fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. Its distinguishing philosophical feature is the Corporate State, which is the alliance of big business and labor with the government in service to the all-powerful State. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of oddballs who have no idea what they're talking about...
." But it’s yet another case of the far-left Democratic Party projecting its own grievous sins on the political opposition.

This was Saul Alinsky’s 13th rule: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." The Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
 and the Democrats are following this rule to a T.

They constantly call Republicans, conservatives and those "deplorable" moderate Americans in middle America the most vile names — "racists," "fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
s," "Nazis," and worse — and have launched an all-out, non-stop Deep State campaign against the man they fear the most, Donald Trump.

Thus came this not entirely unexpected but wholly unpresidential and hate-filled diatribe by Biden just last week:

"What we’re seeing now is the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy ... it’s like semi-fascism," Biden charged at last Thursday’s Democratic National Committee "Build a Better America" rally in Rockville, Maryland.

"Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans have made their choice," Biden went on. "To go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division.

"We’re at a serious moment in our nation’s history. The MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security, they’re a threat to our very democracy," he added. "They refuse to accept the will of the people, they embrace political violence."

This has been part of the Democrats’ playbook for some time, but it has intensified in recent years.

As a 2020 piece in the online magazine Tablet noted:

As soon as the unexpected results of the 2016 election rolled in, Trump critics were predicting that he would be our Hitler and rush to establish a fascist dictatorship. Many of those critics have well-paid sinecures and regular invitations to describe America’s imminent fascist threat on popular cable news shows where they describe, year after year, how the fascist jackboot is now finally descending in America. ’Expert compares Trump’s politics to fascism,’ read a banner on a top CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
 news show last month while The Washington Post recently warned: ’A second Trump term could put us on the path to fascism.’

What’s remarkable about this is it’s the Democratic Party itself, in both its tactics and beliefs, that appears to be morphing into a kind of neo-fascist party in which racial identity, government control of corporations, political violence, and rigid political directives are forced on citizens, while our historic protections under the Constitution are ignored, diminished or even erased.

But progressive Democrats have long loved to use government to compel people to do things.

It’s a fact that, back in the 1920s and 1930s, many American leftists openly embraced fascist ideals, which, in all fairness, didn’t have the stigma they do today. Both Germany and Italia returned the compliment, admitting their policies were influenced by progressive President Woodrow Wilson’s authoritarianism and FDR’s Depression-era government activism.

In 1931, British writer and progressive socialist H.G. Wells, impressed with Italia’s socialist-fascist government and Germany’s then-nascent Nazi Party, even urged fellow leftists to become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis."
