US conservatives love to warn of creeping fascism. Do they understand what it is?

Signs of a fascist state.

The cult of tradition. This is the belief that the truth is already known once and for all. Fascists believe there is no need to advance in learning.

Examples: Demands for only public education with no alternatives. "The science is settled..."

The adoption of fads. Fascists reject evidence-based rationality in favor of what's popular.

Solar, wind, EV's, CRT, LGBTPDQRST... Common core...

The cult of action for action’s sake. Fascist leaders act impulsively, without thinking or planning ahead.

We must act now on climate change! Ukraine must be saved...!

No analytical criticism. Fascists ignore nuance and see any disagreement as treasonous.

The Jan 6 committee, and Jan 6 / Trump in general. Climate change--It's CO2 and anything else is 'STFU!' Masks and shot after shot, but all alternatives suggested are ridiculed and shot down...

Fear of difference. Fascists fear diversity. Thus they are racist by definition.

Democrats and toeing the party line. Lockstep voting, or out you go (see for example Manchin & Sinema)

Appeal to a frustrated middle class. An economically frustrated and/or politically marginalized middle class is easy to stir to anger.

It's the rich's fault! We're doing this for the Middle Class! No taxes on the Middle Class as they raise your taxes...

Obsession with a plot. Because the followers must be made to feel besieged, an internal “enemy” is provided: Immigrants, Muslims, Hispanics, Blacks. (Historically the Jews were often made to be “the enemy.”)

See anything Trump...

Anti-elitism. The followers are made to feel humiliated by the wealth and strength of the educated “elite.” This is used to create resentment.

It's the rich's fault! Tax the rich!

Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. Fascists believe that life is permanent warfare. Therefore a desire for peace is treasonous.

The 'with us or against us' mentality of the Left and Democrats.

Contempt for the weak. A fascist leader despises his underlings, who in turn despise those under them. They all either mock or ignore the poor, the sick, and the disabled.

"Dog faced pony soldier..." "You don't know what your talking about..." Joke Biden quotes (and similar frequent ones)

The cult of heroism. The Fascist is eager to die a hero’s death. In his impatience, he frequently sends other people to their deaths.

These days the martyrs are usually Blacks killed by Whites...

Machismo. Fascists show disdain for women, disregard for chastity, and condemnation of homosexuality.

It's reversed today to radical feminism and a disdain for men who are upright, chaste, and straight...

Selective populism. Under fascism, the “voice of the people” is not the democratic majority, but only the voices of those who support the leader.

What more need be said... That's the Democrat party's voice in a nutshell...

Ur-fascism speaks Newspeak. Just as in Orwell’s 1984, Fascists use an impoverished vocabulary and an elementary syntax to limit complex and critical reasoning.

From Woke, to various "Critical Theories," to calling themselves Liberal until it became a pejorative, then Progressive, etc...

There is the matter of serfdom. If the word describes anything in contemporary American life, it is surely the self-subordination of respectable people with ordinary lives to a movement that requires belief in bizarre and incendiary ideas, as well as flagrant offenses against decency. Trump joined this choir as he descended his escalator, announcing in effect liberation from old obligations to generosity or fairness.

Trump has enlisted followers who might very well engage in acts that lead to death and destruction, assuming that some deaths will be their own, and the destruction will befall their own country. This makes sense only if the reward is self-submission, the craving for an identity that supersedes the autonomy of democratic citizenship.

So you extracted a small section of a randomly selected piece of fiction from the internet and used it to create a thread without even adding any original thought.

Really?

I should try that. I would have thought that you would have been flagged for spamming the board but I guess not. My bad.

The new majority of radical Democrats allows the old fogies to bask in the limelight until they drop—exempt from counter-revolutionary criticism or interparty primary challenges or demands to retire. In return, the codgers reassure the nation that old faces like theirs cannot possibly be polyester revolutionary socialists—despite their role in airbrushing and photoshopping the radical catastrophe unfolding before our eyes.
