Vice President Kamala Harris has spent the past two weeks trying to revive her stalled campaign by smearing President Trump as a Hitlerite and fascist. She claims President Trump is planning to encamp his enemies.
However, in modern times, it was not President Trump who sent large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens to “relocation camps,” but liberal Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who sent Japanese Americans and residents to relocation camps. Ta.
If Ms. Harris were to refer to President Trump’s alleged fascist policies during the past four years in office, there is no such evidence.
Nevertheless, the once “cheerful” Harris is trying to end her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
Remember that fascists have suspended constitutional rights and taken over law enforcement and the military to punish their enemies. But Trump did neither.
Instead, in 2016, the corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the fake Steele dossier.
The FBI, which hired the fake Steele in 2016, merged with social media in 2020 to suppress accurate news coverage of Hunter Biden’s embarrassing laptop scandal.
Many of the FBI directors and intelligence officials who openly tried to destroy Trump (John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe) have been accused of lying under oath or feigning amnesia. It has a long history.
Fascists are trying to distort the legal system. But President Trump’s own Justice Department selected an independent special counsel to investigate the trumped-up Russian collusion allegations against him.
In stark contrast, the Biden Justice Department includes Georgia prosecutors Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, and New York attorney Letitia James. He worked with his secretaries to prosecute Trump, bankrupt him, and keep him from campaigning.
Fascists use government to destroy their enemies.
During President Trump’s term, the House of Representatives became the first in history to impeach a first-term president twice. And in another first, the Senate tried Trump as a private citizen.
A self-styled “anonymous” federal official openly boasted that he led a cabal of bureaucrats to sabotage President Trump’s lawful executive orders, intentionally and possibly illegally.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman conspired with other officials to intentionally leak the president’s confidential phone calls to ensure his impeachment.
Fascists seek to change existing laws in order to destroy their opponents and illegally consolidate their power.
Right now, only Democrats are trying to pack the courts, destroy the Electoral College, end the Senate filibuster, create two new states, and win four left-wing senators.
Key states have fundamentally changed their voting laws.
As a result, about 70 percent of voters in 2020 did not vote in person on Election Day — even though the traditional rejection rate for fraudulent votes mysteriously plummeted amidst voter fraud.
Fascists arbitrarily repeal laws that they feel do not serve their purpose. Biden and Harris have gutted immigration laws to admit more than 12 million illegal aliens and win new constituencies.
They also protected sanctuary cities, as approximately 600 such jurisdictions invalidated federal immigration laws in neo-Confederate fashion, illegally and with impunity.
Fascists are trying to politicize the military.
But in Mr. Trump’s case, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley brazenly violated the Uniform Act of Military Justice by slandering Mr. Trump as a fascist.
To make matters worse, Milley disrupted the chain of command by ordering direct reporting to theater commanders in the event of a serious crisis.
And in an almost treasonous move, Mr. Milley contacted Chinese communists in the People’s Liberation Army and promised to warn the Chinese military before carrying out President Trump’s orders, which he felt threatened by his existential threat.
Some of the most prominent retired four-star military officers have once again violated the Uniform Act of Military Justice, calling President Trump a coward, a liar, a fascist, a Hitler-like man, a Mussolini-like man, and an Auschwitz-like prisoner. Founder of the place, and “the sooner the better” deserves to be removed.
Fascists are trying to control and weaponize the media. So Facebook and Twitter both colluded with the FBI to condemn news accounts that favored Trump. Major newspapers, social media companies, television networks, and public broadcasters systematically and consistently attacked Trump, vilified his supporters, and colluded with his opponents.
So why are there accusations that Trump is a fascist and the reincarnation of Hitler?
Simple. Ms. Harris’ personal negative ratings have increased and her poll numbers have been sluggish.
As President Joe Biden abandons Trump supporters as “trash,” she abandons her days and nights of avoiding the media and smiling “Joy” campaign, instead embracing the Big Lie. are.
Harris is now admitting to voters that she can’t really think or speak well and doesn’t have a coherent agenda that appeals to the middle class.
So Harris, ironically, has been the target of fascist conspiracies by her own party and supporters for nearly a decade, but ultimately, in desperation, slanders Trump as a fascist. .
