Most of you who know me know that I am not a big backer of Mr. Trump. However, he has been called, several times by people who have no real concept of what they are saying, a fascist, like Hitler. Now, I was going to post this on Facebook, but I knew they would clamp down and delete this and put me in FB jail. I have been there before and it is no big deal, but I wish to get this out.

Before we really get started, here is a definition right out of the World Wide Web dictionary.--- Fascism is a political philosophy and movement characterized by centralized autocratic governmentnationalismsevere economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of oppositionIt is led by a dictator who controls all aspects of society, suppresses dissent, and often promotes racism.--- So, let's examine who the fascists really are.

First, centralized autocratic government; Democrats. They want DC in charge of everything behind one leader who, if you oppose him/her, you are racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever. To them, it is never about the issues but always about your personal intolerance.

Second, nationalism; Democrats again, but only if the nationalism is like they want it. Like it or leave it.

Third, severe economic and social regimentation; once again, Democrats. They want to tax the economy to death, stifle business and govern and clamp down on media and social media and cause them to follow their vision.

Fourth, forcible suppression of the opposition; well, again, Democrats are guilty. How many lawsuits against Mr. Trump? How many assassination attempts? How many illegal aliens were allowed to sign up to vote until somebody hit them with the law?

Fifth, it is led by a dictator who controls all aspects of society, suppresses dissent, and often promotes racism. Mr. Obama sat in the Oval Office for eight years. During that time he made the effort to control society. He wanted to disarm the nation, he wanted to force the citizens to get abortions and pay for the health care of others, even it they chose not work or contribute. That list goes on and on. Conservative radio, television and media people were mocked. And promoting racism? Our first African-American president made you feel racist if you voted for the white guys. And when he was leaving office, his heir-apparent branded those who opposed her agenda as deplorables. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton were US Senators before stepping into the big ring. But what did they do before that? I doubt nine out of ten even know.

Mr. Trump is a bag of wind, to be sure. I wish the Republicans would have put someone else up. But, a fascist? One thing I have learned over the decades working with people is if someone accuses another, it is because the accuser is actually guilty of what they are accusing the other person about.

And this ends my once in a lifetime political rant.
