Fascism: It Isn’t What It Used To Be

Well it looks like President Trump won’t be shutting the border down after all. Probably due to the whining and gnashing of teeth from both big business and labor. And avocado consumers.

Remember the last time we were invaded by foreigners?

We went to war, and that invasion wasn’t even on the mainland. I’m not advocating war, yet, but you would think an invasion of historic proportion like we are currently experiencing might warrant some short term sacrifices on the part of Americans whose grandchildren will be the ones most effected by this “complete transformation of America.” I guess not. The cultural appropriation of a Mexican condiment is currently considered more important to the American way of life than the rule of law.

Might I  remind you that it wasn’t that long ago when most of our avocados came from California? That was before the Endangered Species Act resulted in the diversion of water away from one of the state’s most fertile valleys in order to protect the Delta Smelt which appear to be heading towards extinction anyway - just like the farmers in the region.

But I digress. During WWII Americans willingly sacrificed many things as rationing became necessary in order to fuel the war effort against tyranny. By November 1943 many items were rationed: typewriters, gasoline, bicycles, footwear, silk, nylon, fuel oil, stoves, meat, lard, shortening and food oils, cheese, butter, margarine, processed foods (canned, bottled, and frozen), dried fruits, canned milk, firewood and coal, jams, jellies, and fruit butters.

Now we can’t even sacrifice our $12 guacamole toast.

Okay, I get it. We’re not that into sacrifice these days. And fascism isn’t what it used to be.

Fine. Then build the damn wall.

And enforce the law.

The Japanese never seriously attempted to invade Hawaii unless you count that island in the far western end of the chain called Midway.

As I recall, that attempt at invasion didn't work out so well. We sunk four flattops before the landing force even got close.

Well, if I see Trump surrounded by 24 lictors carrying fasces, then I’ll be worried....

Antifa are not fascists, they are communists; they are the very same people that fascism rose in reaction to 100 years ago. That’s why it’s called a “reactionary” movement. They aren’t the “Brownshirts”, they are the people the Brownshirts formed to start fighting in the streets. The Brownshirts, also a bunch of thugs, won the fight. That’s what things descend into when decent folk let matters slide. Weimerica is headed there. Calling communists “fascists” doesn’t shame them at all. They don’t care. You can’t shame that which has no shame. “Liberal Fascism” and other silly conflations have caused exactly ZERO commies to retreat from their positions in intellectual humiliation.

“And fascism isn’t what it used to be.”

Had the “Bikers got what they deserved at Waco” crowd here had any evidence at all to support their claims, or their babe won in 2015. fascism would be bigger and better than it ever used to be.

The Granddaddy of American Fascism is called The Business Plot, run by the same peddlers of disinformation we call the Deep State.

Face it. Cloward and Piven won. It’s over. 500,000 more illegals in the next 3 months.

They should have on December 8th. They'd have taken it. It's good they didn't try.

President Trump and the idiotic red line of giving Mexico one year is insanity. The swamp is playing this all to perfection. I don’t blame it all on the President but our country’s population has added tens of thousands of illegals in a very short time (maybe a million how do we know?). I have very little hope that the Southwest will not be full red within a few election cycles.
