Fascist Snowflakes (Go Figure!)

With a vanishing American cultural mainstream, Republicans have been creating their own alternative reality with alot of help from decades of an expanding and exclusive right-wing conservative media universe.

But Joe Biden really lit up the GQP fascist death cult, and much of what is left of our corporate News business, with a simple understatement of fact in the course of a Bethesda, Maryland funder. “It’s not just Trump,” Biden said, “it’s the entire [MAGA] philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu complained that the president’s comments were “horribly insulting” on Dana Bash’s CNN pundit show State of the Union. “The fact that the president would go out and just insult half of America [SIC], effectively call half of America semi-fascist,” Sununu raged with a straight face. “He’s trying to stir up controversy. He’s trying to stir up this anti-Republican sentiment right before the election. It’s horribly inappropriate.” Imagine!

Only two days before Biden made the remark in Maryland, in a Miami rally for the reelection of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio insisted that “The Democratic party has been taken over by radical left wing lunatics, laptop liberals, and Marxist Misfits.”
