A county Democratic Party chair called for Trump supporters to "be hanged by the neck until dead" and called ICE "nazi collaborators".

This was in a Facebook post that was later removed. But the author - one Bill Swift, chairman of the Lenawee County Democratic Party - doubled down on it on a radio interview, saying the post was removed to protect him and others from retribution by Trump and he describing it as "outlining a very rational argument” and accused Trump and his supporters of promoting Nazi ideologies.

This is the Democratic Party today.

What did the Media tell us? What did they say about Trump's rhetoric and how it fanned the flames of violence? I seem to remember them saying this repeatedly. Yet they yawn at such comments from their own favored side.

This idiot also doubled down on claims Elon Musk did a Nazi salute, despite photographic evidence that should have laid this lie to rest.

I rather doubt this guy has a clue as to what Naziism is, what it stood for. A Nazi to the Left is anyone who opposes them.

How did America fill up with such insane people?

Swift (related to Adam, perhaps?) also claimed America was now "fascist Nazi billionaire oligarchy.”

Again, he doesn't know what Fascism is, and he ignores the multiple billionaires who funded the Democrats over the last generation (like George Soros, Tom Steyer, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, the man who got the Freedom Medal from Biden, George Soros, Bill Gates, and a host of others.) He didn't complain when they were writing the checks to the DNC. Hell; he didn't complain when DONALD TRUMP was writing those checks.

Democrats are certainly fascistic, and are Nazi except they flipped the races over.

National Review's Jonah Goldberg wrote a best-seller about this matter where he illustrated how so many of the modern Democratic policies were held by the Third Reich and Mussolini. My friend Mark Musser wrote "Nazi Oaks" aka "Nazi Ecology" about how the Nazis were riddled with their own "green movement" at the time.

The Nazis believed in so many positions held by the Democrats. Part of the Holocaust was because they loved the German forests (and locked up lots of land to protect them) and saw Jews as an "invasive species" who needed to be eradicated (much like modern environmentalists who want to "uproot" the invasive species of Man). They believed in big public works programs. They believed in government regulation of the economy, including wage and price controls. They believed in a monetary policy involving high inflation. They believed in strong labor unions (yes, the Nazis purged many unions, but that was only to create a strong labor system.) They disliked Christianity and hated Judaism and wanted to restrict both. In fact the Germans were going to execute the Pope at one point. They were monists who believed government should be involved in every aspect of life. They were big into public health. They were obsessed with race. They sought to fundamentally alter the human condition through a radical realignment of the social order. While trying to claim they were for the common man they made a huge appeal to the plutocrats and very wealthy.

While a bit more prudish than the Democrats the Nazis still had a strong homosexual wing - the head of the SA - Ernst Rohm - was a homosexual, for example. Nazi suppression of homosexuals was largely of the effeminate types, whom Hitler thought were tied to Marxists. The Nazis were fine with the butch types.

That is why they were called "National Socialists". It was a variation on socialism. It's intellectual roots go back to Jean Jacques Rousseau, same as does communism.

And in fact the Bolsheviks realized that. They saw Fascism as an intermediate stage between Capitalism and Socialism.

Read Mussolini's The Doctrine of Fascismto understand it better.

Here are some quotes:

"If the bourgeoisie," I said then, "think that they will find lightning-conductors in us, they are the more deceived"

"We shall combat every retrograde idea, technical or spiritual"

"We must make haste; when the present regime breaks down, we must be ready at once to take its place. It is we who have the right to the succession, because it was we who forced the country into the War"

"Fascism is now a completely individual thing, not only as a regime, but as a doctrine. And this means that today Fascism, exercising its critical sense upon itself and upon others, has formed its own distinct and peculiar point of view, to which it can refer and upon which, therefore, it can act in the face of all problems, practical or intellectual"

"Thus a doctrine which is founded upon this harmful postulate of peace is hostile to Fascism. "

"Of such gigantic importance is the State. It is the force which alone can provide a solution to the dramatic contradictions of capitalism, and that state of affairs which we call the crisis can only be dealt with by the State, as between other States.... Fascism desires the State to be a strong and organic body, at the same time reposing upon broad and popular support.

The Fascist State has drawn into itself even the economic activities of the nation, and, through the corporative social and educational institutions created by it, its influence reaches every aspect of the national life and includes, framed in their respective organizations, all the political, economic and spiritual forces of the nation. "

You get the point.

Mussolini described Fascism as "totalitarian" and by that he meant the state would be intimately entwined in every aspect of life.

Part of that would be the mixing of roles as we've seen from leftists over the years. Obama gave NASA a new mission, for instance, to do Muslim outreach. Before that they got heavily involved in climate science, but not in the satellite data but in surface stations. What do either of those have to do with a space exploration agency?

We've seen this kind of corrupting and twisting of roles in the past under Democrats and it's roots are in the Fascist worldview.

I could go on but the point is made. This idiot doesn't know a thing about Fascism or Naziism. BTW,who is it who is winding the wars DOWN rather than promoting them?

And who killed political enemies, or imprisoned them? Who sought to censor free speech? Who had a ministry to "reframe" things?

If he wants to see Fascists he should look in the morror.
