In the last two weeks, Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.
Yet in the modern era, it was not Trump who put large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens into “relocation camps,” but liberal Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent Japanese-American citizens and residents into them.
If Harris refers to Trump’s supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence.
Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.
Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier.
The FBI, which in 2016 had hired the faker Steele, in 2020, fused with social media to suppress accurate news reporting of the embarrassing Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
A number of FBI directors and intelligence officials—John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe—who openly sought to destroy Trump had a long history of either lying or feigning amnesia under oath.
Fascists try to warp the legal system. But Trump’s own Justice Department selected an independent special counsel to investigate the invented Russian collusion accusations against him.
In vast contrast, the Biden Justice Department coordinated with Georgia prosecutors Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump, bankrupt him, and keep off the campaign trail.
Fascists use their governments to destroy their enemies.
During Trump’s term, for the first time in history, the House of Representatives impeached a first-term president twice. And in another first, the Senate tried Trump as a private citizen.
A self-styled “anonymous” federal official bragged openly of deliberately, and likely unlawfully, leading a bureaucratic cabal to sabotage Trump’s lawful executive orders.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, in collusion with other bureaucrats, deliberately leaked a classified presidential phone call in an effort to ensure that Trump was impeached.
Fascists seek to change existing laws to destroy opponents and illegally consolidate power.
Currently, it is only the Democrats who seek to pack the court, destroy the Electoral College, end the Senate filibuster, and create two new states and thus gain four left-wing senators.
In key states, they radically changed voting laws.
As a result, roughly 70 percent of voters in 2020 did not cast their ballots in person on Election Day—even as the traditional rejection rates for fraudulent ballots mysteriously dived amid the influx.
Fascists arbitrarily nullify any laws they feel do not aid their agendas. Biden-Harris destroyed immigration law in order to bring in more than 12 million illegal aliens and gain new constituencies.
They also protected sanctuary cities, as some 600 such jurisdictions illegally and with impunity nullified federal immigration laws in neo-Confederate fashion.
Fascists seek to politicize the military.
But in Trump’s case, his former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley, brazenly violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice by libeling Trump as a fascist.
Worse still, Milley sabotaged the chain of command by ordering theater commanders to report directly to him in times of serious crises.
And in near-treasonous fashion, Milley contacted his Chinese communist counterpart in the People’s Liberation Army to assure him that he would warn the Chinese military before carrying out any Trump order he felt existentially dangerous.
Some of the most prominent retired four-star military officers—again in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice—publicly smeared Trump as a coward, liar, fascist, Hitler-like, a Mussolini, a creator of Auschwitz-like death camps, and worthy of being removed “the sooner the better.”
Fascists seek to control and weaponize the media. So, Facebook and Twitter both conspired with the FBI to censure news accounts favorable to Trump. The major newspapers, social media corporations, television networks, and public broadcasting systematically and continually attacked Trump, censured his supporters, and fused with his opponents.
Why then the charges of Trump the fascist and Hitler reincarnation?
Simple. Harris’s personal negatives are rising, her polls inert.
She has abandoned her prior run-out-the-clock avoidance of the media, her smiley “joy” campaign, and instead now embraces the big lie, while Joe Biden writes off Trump supporters as “garbage”.
Harris is now confirming to voters that she really can neither think nor speak well and has no consistent agenda that appeals to the middle class.
So, in final desperation, Harris is smearing Trump as a fascist, even though ironically, he has been the target of fascist machinations from her own party and supporters for nearly a decade.

VDH is a master at painting the big picture. Future historians can just read his columns like the Cliff’s notes of history to find out what happened during his time.

Dumb Ho.
It is what the great James Lindsay refers to as “the iron law of Woke projection.”. In this case, the Left accuses conservatives of being fascists while it is the Left that, objectively, behaves like fascists.
Democrats would do well to listen to some of his podcasts. They might learn what fascism is and how their political leaders are the real fascists. But then, they are not really into understanding most of the words they use.
McCarthy was warning us about the Commies and what they have in mind for America and Americans the same Leftists type the Demo-Rats UN,CFR want for all America and Americans the North American(Soviet)Union thats why they want unregulated Imagration and Open Borders North and South
Brilliant and measured as always prof….but please cease using McCarthy as a pejorative or the word McCarthyite. You buying into the left-Soviet propaganda. Please read Stan evans book on McCarthy to begin with. Otherwise bang on
Exactly! I was about to post a similar note to Prof. Hanson when I came across yours. M. Stanton Evans’ book “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies” should be required reading for high school and college students.. I would include as well his book “Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government” and Diana West’s “American Betrayal”. Far too many Americans don’t know the true history of this period nor the efforts that continue to this day to conceal the depth of Communist penetration of the USG and other institutions. Prof. Hanson should spend some time with these books and refrain from this bogus labeling created by the left and its fellow travelers. It remains as one of the Big Lies of the 20th Century, and it infects political discourse even today.
Roosevelt called Stalin i his Uncle Joe
Sad Vic follows the old McCarthy tripe. I believe the number of communists in the government that were fired was around 800. The number that quit was around 1200.
FDR was a corporate socialist and was surrounded by quite a few more. Once some drivel is attached to your name and broadcast , it is impossible to shake.
BINGO. Many thanks to you and JohnJay for pointing this out. Prof. Hanson, an eminent historian, should know better. He should expand his reading list to include the books noted above.
The joy was just a minor ingredient in her word salads, which were about equal parts hate and bullshit.
RESEARCH the Democrats past history of supporting and being members in Communist Party USA front groups when they were brainwashed by everyone around them until they too were full-blown Communists who then had to hide in the Democratic Party. I can’t tell the difference between the CPUSA website and their Democratic Party! Now they’re supporting many other Communist groups who are organizing today’s protests. Not one word when they are destroying our cities and it’s going to be really bad when Trump wins! Will Biden stop them, send in the Guard? NO…. “WE THE PEOPLE” NEED TO STAND UP FOR THE RULE OF LAW AGAINST MOB RULE!
This at the Trump Albuquerque rally yesterday. “Hispanic or Latino”? WHO’S THAT WEIRDO camera hog who was pointing at this “Hispanics (heart) Trump” RED t-shirt? It’s like he sat there for maximum exposure. I bet he even requested to be a speaker too, but from what I saw, same old boring “blah, blah, blah.”
Mr. Hanson you have sold your soul to the devil. Bill Buckley is turning in his grave.
You owe Joe McCarthy an apology. Poor methods, but Joe was dead-on on every count. See the Verona papers.
Harris is going full McCarthyite except Joe McCarthy was mostly right. Look no further than the FDR administration. FDR’s 2nd VP Henry Agar Wallace was a card carrying communist and convicted communist traitor Alger Hiss was also a prominent member of FDR’s administration holding positions in Departments of Agriculture, Justice, and State. and attended the Yalta Conference (1945) as an adviser to Roosevelt.
Indian needs the mussolini. After a trial of course.
Milley is a traitor. He deserves the 5 gun salute. (Firing squad)
If it walks like a fascist, and talks like a fascist and looks like a fascist, it might be…..
so many of the posts on this site sound precisely like a fascist sounds — shoot them, defame them, attack them, ridicule them…..what’s next, make immigrants wash the streets while maga folks look on sneering and laughing….
Yea, you guys have lost your bearings — I only hope if your man wins he has the good sense to ignore his own rabid supporters and rhetoric and actually try a little Christian charity …….and preserve our democratic system…..
