Useful Idiots: If Trump were really a fascist, the demonstrations would not have been possible, because in that case his “Gestapo” would have picked up the organizers at 4 a.m. and put them in concentration camps


Over at the New York Post, Glenn Reynolds points out that ‘No Kings’ crowds don’t want more democracy — they want LESS

Watching the “No Kings” protests, a friend commented: “Democracy dies when the other side wins. Another rule they wouldn’t want to have turned back on them.”

That does seem to be the animating spirit not only of the various marches around the country, but of the entire anti-Trump resistance. 

President Donald Trump’s crime isn’t anything he’s said, or done, or even believed (which, all too often, anti-Trump protesters can’t cogently describe anyway). 

It’s that he won, and he represents the other team.

As Batya Ungar-Sargon put it: “The ‘No Kings’ rally isn’t protesting Trump but rather the agenda the majority of America voted for. The Left isn’t protesting a king but their fellow Americans. They aren’t standing up for democracy — they are protesting against it.”

 … In fact, Trump is a “king” — or “dictator,” as we’re often told — whose actual program seems to involve shrinking the government he heads. That’s not the usual thing for autocrats.

 … As Meghan McCain tweeted, “I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.”

[With sarcasm dripping from his lips,] Legal scholar Ilya Shapiro responded, “No no he’s a king by dismantling an administrative state that <checks notes> nobody voted for.”

That’s Trump’s real sin — carrying out the will of the voters.

Democrats know their policies are unpopular. That’s why they have to lie about everything from immigration to affirmative action to gun control. 

During the COVID years, the same people who are out marching for “no kings” supported an endless array of dictatorial measures: lockdowns, firing people for not vaccinating, arresting people for being outside, arresting people for paddle-boarding in the ocean without a mask, arresting people for holding unlicensed religious services, etc.

Read the whole thing™. In the same vein, Batya Ungar-Sargon had some hard truths to deliver on CNN last weekend while Lars Hedegaard penned the following:

The Left Hates Democracy

Last Saturday, millions of Americans took part in numerous demonstrations under the slogan “No Kings”. The anger is directed at Donald Trump, who is not a king, but was elected by an absolute majority of voters in November last year. So it can be reasonably stated that the marches are opposing the citizens who installed a president they hate. It is democracy that they want to get rid of — expressed in the demand that Trump immediately resign.

For several years, Democratic leaders and their foot soldiers have been moaning about the “fascism” that they accuse Trump of being an exponent of. Apart from that, they do not present any real policy apart from the demand for unhindered immigration of anyone who can drag themselves across the US borders — regardless of whether they are drug dealers, human smugglers, gang members or just ordinary violent psychopaths. They will therefore do everything in the world to hinder the federal authorities' efforts to enforce the current legislation. Added to this are the vague notions that Trump wants to become a dictator and steal from the poor to give to the rich.

Fortunately for the protesters, they themselves have rich backers who are pouring billions into the protests and financing the approximately 250 organizations behind the “No Kings” marches. One of them is George Soros, who has made no secret of the fact that he hates the United States and will do whatever he can to bring down the West.

If Trump were really a fascist, the demonstrations would not have been possible, because in that case his “Gestapo” would have picked up the organizers and their financial backers at 4 a.m. and put them in concentration camps. The fact that people can freely demonstrate and hurl slogans and insults at the government shows that it is not fascist.

The Democrats' historical understanding is flawed. Trump is the exact opposite of a fascist. Since he came to power, he has worked tirelessly to resolve threatening military conflicts around the world — most recently in Gaza. Was it such an effort that distinguished Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini?

Trump is also trying to slim down the federal bureaucracy — that is, to limit the power of the state — while Hitler and Mussolini worked on the opposite. As Mussolini used to say: The state is everything! Hitler prided himself on not wanting to nationalize business, but to socialize the German people and make them obedient tools of the state. Trump and his Republicans, on the other hand, believe that the foundation of the United States is civil society, where citizens can freely pursue their happiness as long as they obey the law. That is how the American Constitution was conceived.

But the left hates the constitution and therefore acts in exactly the same way as Mussolini's Fasci italiani di combattimento and Adolf Hitler's stormtroopers. For the time being, the left-wing rabidists are content with a few executions of their opponents or assassinations.

But just as Mussolini's blackshirts and Hitler's brownshirts were paid for by someone, so too are the 250 organizations behind "No Kings."

The protesters pose as advocates for the poor. In reality, they are useful idiots taking to the streets to defend the economic hegemony of the ruling class. They just don't know it because they've never heard about it in the media.

"White boomers have the right to have a mass therapy session about the fact that Donald Trump won, but to call it a No Kings protest, to act like he is a king is so utterly preposterous. This is a man who won the popular vote. He won every swing state. He is a person who is enacting the exact agenda he promised he was going to enact while he was campaigning. And so what they are actually protesting is the absolute perfection of American democracy."
