Who exactly is the real \u2018fascist?\u2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n

By F. Paul Valone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ignoring, for a moment, that ours is not a \u201cdemocracy,\u201d but instead a republic, the man (or rather his handlers) who accuses you<\/em><\/strong> of being a \u201cthreat to American democracy\u201d is himself the one working to undermine our system of government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure the backdrop and imagery of the eagle and red backdrop, flanked by the military (Marines) at Joe Biden\u2019s Philadelphia speech Thursday were not entirely intentional, since I\u2019m equally sure Joe\u2019s handlers didn\u2019t intend to project totalitarian power (at least not so overtly). But I would offer that at the level of the presidency, nothing you see is exactly an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Biden, 73.6 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are not only \u201csemi-Fascist,\u201d but also a \u201cthreat to American Democracy.\u201d This, of course, is a standard leftist tactic I describe in my book, Rules for ANTI-Radicals: A practical Handbook for Defeating Leftism<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. I suspect they learned, from the old Soviet Union, a tactic I call \u201cpreemptive accusation,\u201d in which what they accuse you<\/em><\/strong> of doing exactly what they<\/em><\/strong> are doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do they do it? Because it puts you<\/em><\/strong> on the defensive. When you respond by saying, \u201cNo, it\u2019s you<\/em><\/strong> who\u2019s doing this,\u201d it sounds like that old child\u2019s rebuttal, \u201cI know you are but what am I?\u201d Argument lost.<\/span><\/p>\n

But let\u2019s take a look at the real<\/em><\/strong> \u201cfascists,\u201d shall we? Under the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations, we have witnessed the weaponization of federal law enforcement agencies not only against terrorists, but also against mainstream Americans\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
