I guess she couldn’t say they were fighting fascism/authoritarianism, or the crowd would’ve started booing her.

“Intermittent fascism” is the latest thing. I wish this were ONLY a joke.

What if I told you that fascist German forces also stormed the beaches at Normandy to prevent US/UK/Canadian soldiers from establishing a beach head, and that ol' uncanny valley Guilfoyle didn't actually make a mistake in her speech, because her heroes are NAZIs.

Arguably, the importance of the "second front" was that if the Western Allies hadn't invaded, the Iron Curtain could ultimately have ended up at the English Channel, as the Russians would have been the ones who "liberated" Europe.

I'm quite sure that's not the point she was making, she's probably just dumb as a box of rocks (like the Republican who suggested a while ago that Japan in WW2 was communist).
 
What I find puzzling about the current Republican Party is the anti-corporate turn it seems to be slowly (and very inconsistently) taking. Hence the presence of a Teamsters boss giving a speech at the RNC.

Is this a symptom of the growth of fascism? Fascists can be overtly pro-working class, to a degree. Or is it something much weirder?

Liberals seem to have uncritically embraced all the free-market nostrums, just in time for the right to suddenly renounce the same philosophy they've spent decades ruthlessly promoting.

I even heard a Republican arguing that the US needs stronger trade unions, which just seems bizarre coming from the party of Reagan (who had ATC union members thrown in jail).
