The January 6 hearings showed why it’s reasonable to call Trump a fascist

[Guno צְבִי]

We now know Trump expressed support for hanging Pence and did little to stop the violence — actions that suggest some very dark historical parallels.

Amid the many extraordinary revelations at the January 6 committee’s first primetime hearing Thursday, one stood out for its sheer depravity: that during the assault, when rioters chanted “hang Mike Pence” in the halls of the Capitol, President Donald Trump suggested that the mob really ought to execute his vice president.

“Maybe our supporters have the right idea,” he said, per a committee source. “[Mike Pence] deserves it.”

Endorsing violence is hardly new for Trump; it’s something he’s done repeatedly, often in an allegedly joking tone. But the reported comment from January 6 is qualitatively worse given the context: coming both amid an actual violent attack he helped stoke and one he did little to halt. The committee found that the president took no steps to defend the Capitol building, failing to call in the National Guard, or even speak to his secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security.

Trump is a fascist. He referred to the thugs beating cops in the Capitol as being "loved."

 

[Guno צְבִי]

Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Most of this seems to fit Trumpism fairly well. “Obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood”? Check. “Compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity”? Check. “Uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites”? Check. “Without ethical or legal restraints”? Check, check, and check.

Gods. He truly is a fascist POS. What's even worse is knowing that he still has support not only from deluded voters, but from fellow Republicans.

All those states who selected alternative electors have produced many many involved who all ended up being interviewed by investigators from the FBI and the congressional staff hired to talk to those involved

Capitol Police Chief Can Now 'Unilaterally' Ask for National Guard Help In Emergencie

This is a good thing, they can stop a riot before it gets started now if the capitol is under siege again?!! Trump should be charged of a dereliction of duty, for not stopping the attack on our nations capitol?!!

The U.S. Capitol Police chief will be able to more quickly ask for the National Guard's help in an emergency under a bill signed Wednesday by President Joe Biden.

The chief will now be able to "unilaterally" request assistance from the D.C. National Guard or federal law enforcement agencies without prior approval from the Capitol Police Board, streamlining a process that lawmakers have identified as one of the reasons for the Guard's slow response during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

The bill passed both chambers of Congress earlier this month in voice votes.

January 6th showed us that every minute counts during an emergency," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., the bill's sponsor, said in a statement after the Senate passed the measure. "Our report found that Capitol Police officers and their law enforcement partners were left alone to defend the Capitol and our democracy itself from violent insurrectionists, while the chief of the Capitol Police was delayed in obtaining approval to request help from the National Guard."

For the Left, words are as Humpty Dumpty stated:

That for all intents means for the Left, words have no fixed meaning and can be freely bandied about like some 5-year-old with a dictionary picking them at random...
