Proof the Resistance is More Fascist than Trump themindguild.com/proof-the-resistance-is-more-fascist-than-trump October 20, 2018
While observing the political landscape over the past few years, it is quite remarkable how polarized things have gotten. Some terms that I keep hearing being thrown around very liberally is when the left calls President Trump and his followers “fascists” or “Nazis”. I can’t help but ask, “Do these people even know what those terms mean?”
How Can Trump Be Fascist? To begin with, if President Trump really was a fascist, then they wouldn’t even be allowed to say those things. Secondly, such an ideology would require a bigger government, and President Trump has actually reduced the power of the government. So those labels couldn’t be anymore wrong. One thing I have observed in my life is that when people point fingers at others, those people are often times guilty of the accused act themselves. So I wondered if these accusations of fascism were actually being hurled by people who are fascists. In the great book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, written by the late and brilliant Brazilian philosopher Paulo Freire, we are told that those “who were oppressed” or perceived to be oppressed, often become oppressors in the end.
Definition of a Fascist So after reading and reviewing the 14 defining characteristics of fascism, as written by Dr. Lawrence Britt, I discovered that my instincts were true. The liberal leftist movement (aka the resistance) is actually more fascist than President Trump and his followers whom they claim to be fascist. So let us examine further how many of these 14 fascist characteristics apply to the leftist movement: 1) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia.

2) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Recent Headlines: Black Conservative Candace Owens Attacked by Antifa Mob Man Attacked GOP Candidate with Switchblade Sarah Sanders said she was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant because she works for Trump Shooter Targets Republicans at Congressional Baseball Practice 4 Anti-Trumpers attack Mentally Challenged Teen on Facebook Live Senators were Under Assault During the Kavanaugh Hearing I could laterally list thousands of these attacks by the resistance on conservatives. The left is hell bent on denying conservatives their basic human rights to dine out, attend movies, go to public events, etc. 3) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause Public Scapegoats: Democrats’ phony attack on Kavanaugh comes from an old playbook – The left attempted to ruin this man’s life and make him a scapegoat for survivors. Harvey Weinstein Sexual Assault Allegation: A List of 87 Accusers – Yes, Weinstein deserves the punishment he is receiving, but he has still been used as a public scapegoat and is the main reason for the existence of the Metoo movement. 3/6
5) Rampant Sexism – we have witnessed an explosion of feminist articles in major publications, as well as several Women’s Marches with an energized Metoo movement. Recent Headlines: #MeToo and the End of Teflon Men ~ Time Magazine Stormy Daniels, Feminist Hero ~ New York Times Why women’s rage is healthy, rational and necessary for America ~ Washington Post Here’s Why Feminism is the Word of the Year ~ Newsweek Women’s March Marks the Return of Feminism, In All Its Glory ~ Boston Globe “Feminism” is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year. It’s about damn time ~ Vox.com 6) Controlled Mass Media – everyone knows that the overwhelming majority of the mainstream media are left-leaning. Recent Posts: CNN’s Cuomo Defends Antifa Don Lemon Defends Antifa Despite their Violence NBC and Chuck Todd Defends Antifa Even after They Attacked An NBC Reporter and Crew Pew: News Coverage of Trump Much More Negative than for Other Presidents American Media has Lost its Center of Gravity with their Overwhelming Negative Coverage of Trump 7) Obsession with National Security – the left vehemently opposes Trump’s desire to build up the military and to secure the borders with a big wall. They blame Trump for cruel treatment of illegals at our borders. Recent Headlines: US Has a History of Putting Immigration Families in Cages – It Didn’t start with Trump Where the Wall has Actually Worked Dems Blacklist Companies Who are Working on Trump’s Border Wall Democrats are Now a Party of Open Borders Illegal Aliens: The New Black Vote for Democrats 4/6
9) Corporate Power is Protected – for many years, it was assumed that the rich and elite supported the GOP – that has now changed. Democrats are Now the Party of the Rich Obama’s Speech Proves the Hypocrisy of the Democrats Anti-Wall Street Rhetoric Pew: Social Media Companies Back Liberals; 72% Censor Views They Don’t Like 11) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – the resistance has demonstrated time and again that they are not interested in intelligent debate and compromise. When conservative speakers visit college campuses, then opt for violence and destruction to silence the opposition. Additionally, they seek to destroy statutes and pieces of art from US History that they don’t like rather than seeking to embrace our history and the path we have traveled and learned from. Recent Headlines: 11 Times Campus Speakers were Shouted Down by Leftist Protesters A Violent Attack on Conservative Free Speech at Middlebury Ocasio-Cortez Afraid of Intelligent Debate Against Conservative Women – Turns Down $100K The Left is Trying to Erase American History by Destroying Statutes and Art Ironically, Violent Leftists are Trying to Erase the Sins of their Own Democratic Party When they Destroy Confederate Art 12) Obsession with Crime and Punishment – amazingly, the left has waged war on law enforcement. They have also sought very liberal prison reform – some of those on the far left have actually made demands such as emptying our prisons and getting rid of the police altogether. Assaults on Police Officers Increase Dramatically Why 2018 Could Be a Deadly Year for Cops ‘Abolish Prisons’ is the New ‘Abolish ICE’ for some Democrats Why Dems Want to Open Prisons – Survey Says 7 in 10 Felons Register as Democrats Dems Latest Power Grab: Let Felons Vote in Jail Democrats Should Stop Bashing Cops 13) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – there has certainly been much said and predicted about the Mueller Investigation. But in the end, it has accomplished one thing quite well. It exposed the cronyism and corruption in both the FBI and the Democratic Party. One fact remains is that all actions occurred under the Obama Administration which makes him complicit. 5/6

As a result, they have proven to be far more fascist than President Trump and his followers. The irony is that the leftist group Antifa derived their name from the term “anti-fascist”. Yet they are actually guilty of being FASCIST themselves – we now have proof.
