If Trump is a fascist then he will fit in nicely with the pantheon of
horrific men we are told to respect and venerate. Barack Obama charges
and convicts whistle blowers with the little used espionage act from the
era of Woodrow Wilson. He claims and has exercised an invented right to
kill Americans. His predecessor invaded and occupied Iraq but he
continues the dirty deed there and in Afghanistan. He tries to fool the
public by assassinating “al Qaeda number two,” over and over again. Al
Qaeda certainly doesn’t lack for plan B staffers.
Bush the younger cut tax rates for rich people but Obama didn’t
change that. Under the guise of compromising with intransigent
Republicans he did the same thing. When he and the Democrats controlled
Congress in 2009 and 2010 they raised the minimum wage a paltry 70
cents.
