Trump runs for Führer

By Jacob Crosse and Andre Damon, 28 August 2020

Trump delivered a fascistic tirade from the White House lawn Thursday night, painting his reelection as the last bastion against "agitators" and "socialists." ]

            So " Trump runs for Fuhrer ?  That is the November 28 headline in  the  sectarian " Trotskyist "  World Socialist Web Site .  These people,  who routinely  brand principled democratic socialist opponents on the Left  also" fascists ", are quite muddle- headed in identifying President Trump with fascism .  This democratic socialist - also branded a " Catholic , fascist, anti-Semite " by the WSWS- sees budding fascism in the  scary , lock step GROUP THINK of the Democratic Party , in the  Stalinist thuggery of  Anti-Fa  and " Black Lives Matter " groups shaming decent people as " racists "  and daily attacking the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.    George Orwell could see the seeds of totalitarianism in many fanatical " Marxist " parties.

                The mainstream news media - dominated by belligerent Zionists - suddenly discovered   Hollywood liberal Donald Trump as a white supremacist, anti-Semite ( what sense does that make considering Trump's own family and his popularity in Israel ? ) ,  homophobe and feminist foe on the day after he shocked the nation by defeating " Corrupt Hillary " in the 2016 presidential election.

                    To be sure , nothing is more FASCIST than the BIG LIE .  Smearing Trump as an agent of Russia was also a BIG LIE.

        David North's WSWS is looking for the American Hitler and American  fascism in the wrong place .

          The Democratic Party - not Trump - for four long years -has been promoting the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism.  The Democratic Party has been slobbering over the capitalist imperialist DEEP STATE , the FBI , the CIA. Even planning  a " Seven Days in May " drama .
