Exuberant over a string of recent legislative victories, and launching his midterm campaigning in earnest, President Joe Biden swaggered into Maryland on Thursday and excoriated his predecessor’s philosophy as “semi-fascism,” in what constituted an unusually pointed and highly charged denunciation of Republicans. “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden told Democratic donors in the Washington suburb of Rockville. Calling out those he labeled as “extreme” Republicans, Biden said: “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

Ignorant fool. Dems are the literal fascists. The definition is not "people we don't like" as the idiot Demonrats imagine. It means a close partnership between government and industry to control everything.
Like Fakebook, the Twits, and Google, and lots of big companies doing the government's bidding in their areas....THAT is real, literal fascism. Along with the government giving handouts to some companies and punishing other companies.....fascism.
Trump did free market economics in a Republic....and many of the Dems don't even know what that means. The ones that do....HATE IT.

This is done in anger and is from the party's 'deplorables' playbook Did the pointed criticism from the establishment center left on his vote buying college loan scheme sting?

Joey claims republican MAGA supporters are fascist? Joey surely likes to project the demonrat mind thinking and policies he has on someone else, doesn't he?

The corporate alliances that we are seeing with Democrats in the government bureaucracy are the hallmarks of fascism.

And so it begins…Biden just set the tone of his campaign for re-election and it is going to be attack, attack, attack. The irony is that it is pure projection. This is the kind of campaign democrats want because It allows them to spout off and the media will run with every lie. Joe is a cranky, mean and vindictive old man and his dementia will only make it worse. He is a loose cannon and will be allowed to spew his hatred as long as he can hold it together.
Democrats are taking a risk here but actually believe loan forgiveness will give them an upper hand. These people are such ideologues and so out of touch with the American that they have no idea that people are ticked off by Joe’s illegal executive order that forces taxpayers to shell out for the irresponsible behavior of others. Everyone knows the vaunted institutions of higher learning are horribly overpriced. They prey on students and parents with promises of future success when in actuality they are only radical leftist indoctrination centers churning out anti-American radicals.
Biden can rant and rave all he likes but the American people are not stupid. They are living out Joe’s policies in real time and understand that he is the cause of the nose dive this country has taken. It would be helpful if we had Republican leadership who could articulate the dangerous harm this old man and his cabal have done to the country. We have known this latest loan forgiveness debacle was coming for weeks and Republicans should have been ready for it. Democrats are already running ads patting themselves on the back for their generosity to the American people with their Inflation Reduction Act and instead of being prepared to tell the American people the truth, we hear nothing from Republicans. Our people seem to be asleep at the wheel once again. This latest giveaway should have had ads ready to go denouncing it. Just man on the street interviews asking if forgiving debt was fair. Yet, we hear nothing. At this point, I don’t even believe Republicans want to win.

Simple Translation Tool: Whatever the demonrat socialist Marxists say is JUST THE OPPOSITE
They accuse others of doing that WHICH THEY THEMSELVES are doing or being.
It seems to work like a charm for them because the media (print, electronic, social) NEVER holds them to account.
So much for being "deplorable", you and your opinions no longer count. The disrespect of the individual against the government is total. Government wants to OWN YOU and all you have and hold dear if it gets in the way of their total take over EVERYTHING

biden's people know that the loan forgiveness is unconstitutional. BUT repubs are saying that. And it would never pass the SC. So it LOOKS as if joey and the dems WANT to do this and the college kids want it. It also LOOKS like it is the repubs that are against it.
So, biden KNOWS it won't pass LEGALLY but it LOOKS as if the repubs are against helping the college kids. It will appear that dems are good and repubs hate college kids. Same dem garbage.

#5 is right. I might add that the loan forgiveness infuriates all the responsible individuals and families that paid off their student loans.

“ Earlier, he criticized the impact the Trump administration had on the United States’ stature in global politics, referring to Russian President Vladmir Putin’s recent aggression in Ukraine.”
Putin invaded Ukraine February 24th, fully aware that the incredibly vicious and mendacious Biden is President. Just as Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014, when it was Obama/Biden as our weak leaders. And Biden is about to give Iran billions of our dollars so that the mullahs can finish their nuclear weapon program while funding terrorism against Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Biden hid in his basement in 2020 while the media piled on Trump. What we need is for Joe the Idiot to talk as much as possible to reveal his true nasty and mean character.

Fascism is derived from a medical term, fascia.
Fascia is composed of collagen, connective tissue, which bundles things together.
Fascism, then, is used to describe strong central control by the government.
Fascism best describes progressive socialists, who believe that a strong central government should control everything.
MAGA proponents believe the opposite of fascism.

Biden cannot explain what fascism is, much less semi-fascism, even though HIS actions hit most the high points. But I think - neither can his audience - it just sounds like a good bad word to tag Trump & Trump supporters. Actually - I don't think they understand Democracy, or Representative governance. Now that I ponder - sadly most of us have lost these definitions. We are governed now by Chaotic Morass than anything else. And We The People are being herded toward a cliff edge for the complete control desired by our rulers.

Except that no fascist in history had a platform of lowering taxes, limiting government, avoiding foreign wars, school choice, federalism...
