This Christmas season, we owe a debt of gratitude to MSNBC for drawing attention to the serious issue of spreading fascism in America.
MSNBC hosts Mehdi Hasan, whose show has since been canceled, and Joy Reid gave the Article III Project, the conservative legal group I lead, a platform the likes of which we could only dream of two weeks ago. Hasan targeted me, along with the Article III Project, for demanding we follow laws and protect our homeland from both foreign and domestic threats through means such as deporting terrorist-supporting visa holders and denaturalizing terrorist-supporting naturalized citizens. Reid, who’s long been a fan of weaponizing the federal government to target conservatives, believes it’s fascist to enforce the rules on our books for policing immigration, securing our borders, and preventing another 9/11 or 10/7 terrorist attack
By casually smearing us alongside others in the MAGA movement with the “fascist” label in such a lazy fashion, Hasan and Reid have unwittingly opened up themselves and the Biden regime they submissively defend to an honest debate, for which we are grateful. In so doing, they created a teachable moment to explain what fascism actually means and who are truly the real American fascists. When we examine our current culture and politics, it will become clear to fair-minded Americans that the real American fascists are, in fact, the Biden Democrats.
Core Tenets of Fascism
According to MSNBC, Article III Project stands for and believes in fascism and its principles, along with countless other MAGA Republicans. In reality, their assertion fails to pass a series of simple reality checks.
First, where do we stand on promoting nation and race above the individual, one of the core tenets of fascism? Think about it. On one side, we have MAGA Republicans who reject racial identity politics in favor of the individual. For many of us, a belief in the primacy of individuals stems from a belief in God. This is why we oppose American children being taught critical race theory and other dangerous Marxist ideologies in school. If we are all born with equal dignity, then race does not and cannot control us. But you don’t have to be religious to reach this conclusion; you just need to be American.
Contrast this human-centered belief with the dangerous Democrat alphabet soup of race-based intersectionality that fosters racial hatred and division between children and adults alike. This is the belief — what we call “critical race theory” — that teaches our children to love or hate one another based on their skin color
Who are the real fascists in America? MAGA Republicans who place individual liberty, dignity, and freedom above all else, or Marxist Democrats who want to see a fearful America that exalts “race above the individual”?
Fascistic Covid Mandates
In every instance, fascists believe in autocratic governments spearheaded by a dictator. The MSNBC fever dream wants Americans to believe that this accurately describes President Trump. But upon any rational review, the definition obviously points away from Trump and toward Biden. It is the Biden administration that is, in fact, the “dictatorial” regime.
During his four years in office, Trump engaged in an unprecedented program of economic deregulation, the aim of which was to decentralize government away from the swamp and dilute the control federal agencies exert over businesses and citizens alike. These are hardly the actions of a figurehead seeking to create an all-powerful centralized government.
Similarly, when Covid reached our shores, Trump was quick to recognize the role that federalism — powers and duties shared among federal, state, tribal, and local governments — should play in our nation’s response to the pandemic. True, he did step in at the federal level where appropriate: He authorized Operation Warp Speed, which delivered the experimental vaccine in record time. But he didn’t force it on others
Contrast this with Biden, who used the presidential bully pulpit to mandate Covid shots for all federal workers and even private companies. This resulted in an unprecedented morale collapse in the military, something we are just starting to understand the disastrous consequences of. If these draconian acts don’t check the box on the “centralized” and “autocratic” prongs in the dictionary definition of fascism, then we’re at a loss for words.
Fusion of Public and Private Power
Of course, the Biden Covid mandates were but one highly visible example of his administration’s undemocratic approach to governance. The Biden campaign and, later on, the Biden White House, colluded with Big Tech platforms to suppress what should have been First Amendment-protected speech about Covid and the 2020 election. The most notorious suppression occurred when Facebook and Twitter colluded with the FBI and the Biden campaign to cover up Biden family corruption evidence by the Hunter Biden laptop.
The fusion between private and public power is a commonly recognized trait of fascism. One needs only to think of the active collusion between IBM and the Nazis in Germany to see the parallels to today. Once again, this raises the question: Who are the real American fascists? MAGA Republicans, who if they speak about their beliefs can be fired in corporate America, or the Democrats under Biden, who brazenly collude with woke corporations to implement their shared political ideology?
The same tilt toward fascism can be seen when it comes to the Democrats’ “social regimentation” under Biden. To skim the surface, we need only look as far as the Biden Justice Department’s efforts to unleash his FBI on traditional Catholics. The Biden FBI, whose mission is to “protect the people of the United States and uphold the Constitution of the United States,” was, until earlier this year, actively preparing to infiltrate the Catholic Church based on faulty assumptions and unsubstantiated evidence that Catholics might include in their ranks “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”
Of course, this is the same Biden FBI that turned a blind eye to actual “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” for years, many of whom came to prominence in the weeks since Oct. 7 advocating genocide in Israel.
Fascists Use Judicial Activists to Push Their Agenda
Judge Beryl Howell, a highly partisan D.C. judge appointed by President Obama who supervised the bogus Mueller probe of President Trump, recently gave a highly inappropriate political speech insinuating Trump’s return to the White House will usher in fascism. Howell doesn’t just talk the talk about fascism; she walks the walk.
She approved the unconstitutional warrant from Biden’s henchman Jack Smith, whom Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland brought back from being banished to The Hague after the Supreme Court unanimously reversed Smith’s criminal prosecution of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a likely 2016 presidential or vice presidential contender, that collected data on millions of Twitter accounts that retweeted or liked posts from Trump. She ordered Twitter not to follow the law and notify Trump about the warrant, claiming Trump was (somehow) a “flight risk” (despite his 24/7 Secret Service detail).
After Twitter couldn’t respond quickly enough to Howell and Smith’s unreasonable demands, Howell fined Twitter $350,000 — $7,000 each hour for 51 hours past their arbitrary deadline. She claimed Twitter was trying to “cozy up” to Trump. And three partisan Democrat appellate judges rubber-stamped Howell’s lawlessness.
Were getting more reasons to turn out and turn off the M.S. Media Period most Americans are losing their trust in the M.S. Media bottom feeders
Democrats are now fascist through and through. Rarely does any Democrat speak out against the anti-American, anti-Constitutional fascist actions the party takes. Censorship, political prisoners and propaganda is just the tip of the fascist iceberg.
For their ignorant, stupid followers, just accusing Trump of dictatorship and fascism is enough to shield themselves from scrutiny.
