Welcome To Two-Tiered America

"Considering that a widely accepted element of "fascism" is the cooptation of the "private" sector by the "public" sector, especially in service of entrenching a one-party state, it is one of the greatest ironies of our age that the political party seemingly seeking to do precisely that can unironically slander its preeminent partisan rival as somehow being filled with "semi-fascists." Indeed, as many have pointed out, the man now lambasting his political foes as "semi-fascist" is the same one who just sent the federal law enforcement to execute a predawn raid on the private residence of his former, and perhaps future, ballot box opponent. Alas, self-awareness is not one of Uncle Joe's strengths—nor, for that matter, is a rudimentary familiarity with Western history."
