“Semi-Fascist” is a term that tyrants use against a group of people that they intend to attack with armed force. As was just done in the dead-of-night raid against the residence of the former President, by the armed force that was once the FBI but is now in fact repurposed as the domestic army of the New Totalitarians. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded [as our military].” - Barak Obama
The term “fascist” should not be used lightly. How do those criticizing the Biden comment define “fascism”? Many have written on it and various authors have listed certain characteristics/features. When teaching the topic, I often used Umberto Eco’s 14 features:
It’s the Rethuglicans who are stoking the armed militias, the Proud Boys, the 3 Percenters, etc. Biden is telling it like it is, as uncomfortable as it may be to hear.
“I want to be very clear up front, not every republican, not even the majority of republicans are maga-republicans. Not every republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know, because i’ve been able to work with these mainstream republicans, but there’s no question that the republican party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the maga-republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”

Gorrell at his asinine-est. Can’t wait to see how he tops this one.

Captured Biden’s hypocrisy perfectly. No political party wants unity today. The least of which are the incumbents.

Bears repeating, Gorrell has no sense of decency…

If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, you may as well call it a duck.

Try to be honest and go through the list and ask: which might apply to which American political party?

Semi-Nazis?

Yep, Biden lied. There’s no such thing as a semi Nazi.
He should have left the ‘semi’ part out.

As the great Democrat Harry Truman said: “I never gave them hell. I told the truth and they thought it was hell.”

He even had marines in the background. Next thing you know he’ll be declaring a special military operation to de-nazi-fy red states.

A semi fascist is a fake fascist who incites others to violence then runs and hides a la Cawthorn and Trump and Graham yadda yadda.
