Is "Trumpism" Really "Bircherism"?

Cease fools!

[tcrlaf]

Ask 100 random people under 45 what “Bircherism” is.

99 and a half of them will say they never heard of it.

[SandRat]

Haven't heard that, (Birchism), in long time.

[Paladin2]

Is this “story” Fake News?

[ichabod1]

The Overton window has been dragged so far to the right that I now consider this to be a moderate site. Pretty cool.

[Paladin2]

US outta da UN, UN outta da US.

Most leftist commie arse wipes werent even born when the man John Birch was murdered by the Maoists. Some gratitude, they know nothing of the man. Yet are expert at Mao’s agenda and pushing it.. As are far too many today.

the Donald was but a youngster that fateful day.

TOO BAD HIS CRITICS WILL NEVER GROW UP THEMSELVES, SO VILE THEY HAVE BECOME.

When I was around 15 years old,my older brother dragged me off to a JBS meeting. It was very casual, brochures on racks and what I remember was a message stating that this country could be taken over slowly by communism via socialism.
Well, for some reason my same brother voted for Obama( because only raising taxes on the rich-—sure).
That message has been slowly coming true.

[rktman]

Trumpification?

[Mr. K]

Just ignore them

[Bethaneidh]

Little said complaining about the JBS was ever true, at least while the founder was alive.

Communists and ‘progressives’ (but I repeat myself) such as “senior editor Jeet Heer” of the New Republic are so predictably stupid.

Anything that they don’t understand or like, they will routinely affix a pejorative label to and scream it at the top of their lungs, without worrying for an instant about whether or not it is factually true (after all, to them, ‘facts’ are just a phony social construct invented by dead white males to keep women and minorities down, and ‘truth’ is an infinitely malleable concept):

‘You’re a racist!’

“You’re a fascist!”

(fill in the blank - hompohobe, transphobe, ‘Bircher’, whatever, etc. ad nauseum)

It’s no different from any other child saying, “you’re a doodyhead!” when they don’t get their way.

I remember well how my mind was completely boggled when a “well-educated” Wellesley student (from Hillary’s alma mater), a friend of my sister’s, once earnestly proclaimed to me, without a hint of irony in her voice, that Ayn Rand was “a fascist”. Of course, Ayn Rand was perhaps the leading anti-fascist voice of the twentieth century, but facts don’t actually matter to know-nothing lefties.

The same sad pathology is at work when infantile, screaming lefties try to shout down Ayaan Hirsi Ali for being an ‘Islamophobe’.
