At CPAC, Everything Is Socialism and the Only Solution Is More Trump -
“Socialism, we believe, gets to the very core of violating the dignity of the individual human being that has God-given rights,” Schlapp said Thursday.
On CPAC’s main stage this year, every Democrat was a socialist, and socialism was a threat to the very essence of America. To save it, conservatives need to ensure that Trump is reelected president.
Vice President Mike Pence told CPAC attendees that “there are no moderates in this Democratic field” of presidential candidates that every Democratic candidate running—despite any stated policies—embraces Sanders’ “socialist agenda.”
Tell me again how we can’t nominate Bernie because they’ll use the “socialism” line against him - they fucking consider everyone slightly to the left of Gavin McInnes a socialist.

This is a hard read. Bannon is a fucking monster.
Worse than beating his wife and making their kids stop going to a school that allows jewish students?
Because like, that’s a pretty high bar to top.
I think those are both included in the file.
This is 100% what I meant when I said “Fascists are just a party of organized abusers”. The logic of fascism is the logic of an abuser.
^^^^holy fuck, that last comment though
“That never happened.” “You need me.” “I know what’s best for you.” “You’re overreacting.” “You’re too sensitive.” “What do you expect, acting like that?” “You’re being alarmist.” “I’ll respect you when you’ve earned it.” Lies. Temper tantrums. Ever-shifting goalposts. Dropped promises. Testing boundaries. Accusations of betrayal. Demands for personal loyalty. Scapegoating. Isolation. Projection. Mockery of emotions. Dismissal of suffering. Elaborate justifications. Consolidation and enforcement of power. Threats. Displays of power. Intimidation.
Abuse and fascism work the same way.
