    Asked what kind of protest might be appropriate, Smith cited a recent instance in an armed services hearing in which “people came in and they didn’t say anything, they just held up bloody hands. And the chairman noticed that and said, ‘You can’t do that, you’re out, and they got up and left.”

    Yes, the totalitarians are…20 year old college students who hold no actual power besides collectively being loud and demonstrating in the hopes that it’s disruptive enough to invoke change. Not the jackbooted thugs beating them with billy clubs and throwing them in a van.

    Their mean words and angry chants are like drone strikes on apartment buildings. Imagine if that happened in your neighborhood. They should find something important to protest about

    What the fuck is a “leftwing fascist” lol? If you go with what fascism is, then extrapolate the left wing of that, you end up at Democrat. Like, what?

        Absolutely. This sort of rhetoric is aimed at exactly the “blue no matter who” crowd.

      its just redfash following the natural lifespan of an anticommunist label from being used by McCarthyite Red Scare era Republicans (norm-respectable) and then by reddit radlibs with a bone to pick against leftists (atlantic-council) and then by Respected Bipartisan™ Democrats (holden-bloodfeast)
