We’re Keeping A List Of Everyone Who Has Called Trump A ‘Fascist’

You’ve probably been reading in the news lately about how Democrats have started calling Donald Trump a fascist.

They’re saying things like:

“The stench of fascism is in the air,” and

He wants to “replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf,” and He “displays the supremacist ideology of Nazi Germany.’’

And, “He is a fascist, for his program takes immediate and direct aim at (a sector of) the working class.’’

Oh, wait. Those statements weren’t about Trump at all.

The first quotation was what California Gov. Pat Brown said about Barry Goldwater in 1964. The second was leveled by Missouri Rep. William Clay against President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. The third was what George Soros said about George W. Bush in 2003. The fourth was what a leftist rag said about former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in 2011.

The complete list of such accusations against Republicans over the past six decades would choke the internet.

So, it made us laugh when we read the headline in the New York Times that: “Harris and Democrats Lose Their Reluctance to Call Trump a Fascist.” As though this were some sort of shocking new development and not one of the most hackneyed attack lines in history.

It’s even more laughable given that Democrats lost their “reluctance” to equate Trump with Hitler more than eight years ago. Does the Times really not remember when Joe Biden called Trump supporters semi-fascists?

The only difference is that Kamala Harris has decided – after her campaign of “joy” and flip-flops wore thin and her poll numbers started tumbling – to use the N-word as her closing argument against Trump.

Russia collusion was off the list. Lawfare wasn’t enough to deter Trump supporters. Scaring voters about Project 2025 didn’t move the needle. So, why not play the Nazi card?

And, so, the press has dutifully started filing stories about how experts think Trump is a fascist and how Democrats are clanging the alarms to warn the public about the existential threat he poses.

There are two reasons why everyday Americans should be appalled by this display.

The first reason is that the Left isn’t just calling Trump a fascist. It is accusing anyone who votes for him – which is roughly half of the voting-age population – of supporting mass murder, genocide, global war, government control of industry, censorship, and a central government that dictates every aspect of their lives.

The second reason is that none of the people calling Trump a fascist today will pay a price for it tomorrow.

When Trump turns out not to be a fascist, but a tax-cutting, government-downsizing, swamp-draining president who keeps the U.S. out of wars and the world at peace (which is what Trump was doing during his first term), no one will go back and ask for an apology.

Trump’s most vile accusers will continue to be treated with respect. They will hold onto their high-paying jobs and be feted at social events. They will routinely show up on cable news to offer “expert” insights on politics and policy. They will be vigorously patted on the back as open-minded and tolerant.

And then they will go right back to accusing the next person who disagrees with their leftist agenda of being a fascist.

So, we are keeping a list of everyone who has called Trump a fascist, Hitler, a dictator, etc. And, if Trump wins next week and then goes on to disprove them all, we will in four years issue demands to each and every one of them that they hang their heads in shame and beg the American people for mercy.
