Trump's DOJ to toss NYC Mayor Eric Adams' historic bribery case, agrees with Dem charges were politically motivated by Biden admin over migrant crisis

:#marseyemojilaugh:

Trump frees another neighbor from the tyrannical Dems

The letter notes "independent reasons" as to why Adams' case was being tossed — including that the case was retribution for him speaking out against the Biden administration for its handling of the migrant crisis.

"It cannot be ignored that Mayor Adams criticized the prior Administration's immigration policies before the charges were filed, and the former US Attorney's public actions created appearances of impropriety…"

I obviously understand it far better than you if you think it comes anywhere close to describing the Republican party.

Explain in detail the fricking "standards" for being a fricking proto fascist and according to who. Then explain in detail what a fricking "magatard" is fricking and how they qualify.

I can't answer you when you don't define your terms.

A) Heavily political conspiracism primarily based on emotion. Anatomy of fascism:

To focus only on the educated carriers of intellect and culture in the search for fascist roots, furthermore, is to miss the most important register: subterranean passions and emotions. A nebula of attitudes was taking shape, and no one thinker ever put together a total philosophical system to support fascism. Even scholars who specialize in the quest for fascism's intellectual and cultural origins, such as George Mosse, declare that the establishment of a "mood" is more important than "the search for some individual precursors."59 In that sense too, fascism is more plausibly linked to a set of "mobilizing passions" that shape fascist action than to a consistent and fully articulated philosophy. At bottom is a passionate nationalism. Allied to it is a conspiratorial and Manichean view of history as a battle between the good and evil camps, between the pure and the corrupt, in which one's own community or nation has been the victim. In this Darwinian narrative, the chosen people have been weakened by political parties, social classes, unassimilable minorities, spoiled rentiers, and rationalist thinkers who lack the necessary sense of community. These "mobilizing passions," mostly taken for granted and not always overtly argued as intellectual propositions, form the emotional lava that set fascism's foundations:

a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;

the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual to it;

the belief that one's group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limits, against its enemies, both internal and external;

dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences;

the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;

the need for authority by natural leaders (always male), culminating in a national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group's destiny;

the superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal reason;

the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success;

the right of the chosen people to dominate others without restraint from any kind of human or divine law, right being decided by the sole criterion of the group's prowess within a Darwinian struggle.

B) the truth being whatever it needs to be in the moment. A few examples of this might be magatards rabidly disapproving of obama carrying out missile attacks on Syria but rabidly supporting Trump doing the same. Or for example Everyone that supported the intervention in Libya being a "war monger and warhawk and disqualified from office" while ignoring the fact Trump literally called the government week for not sending troops to libya. There are hundreds more, but the cult of personality around Trump and the washing of history, his statements, actions, whatever else is pretty clear here. A bit from Robert paxton in the anatomy of fascism:

In a way utterly unlike the classical "isms," the rightness of fascism does not depend on the truth of any of the propositions advanced in its name. Fascism is "true" insofar as it helps fulfill the destiny of a chosen race or people or blood, locked with other peoples in a Darwinian struggle, and not in the light of some abstract and universal reason. The first fascists were entirely frank about this.

We [Fascists] don't think ideology is a problem that is resolved in such a way that truth is seated on a throne. But, in that case, does fighting for an ideology mean fighting for mere appearances? No doubt, unless one considers it according to its unique and efficacious psychological-historical value. The truth of an ideology lies in its capacity to set in motion our capacity for ideals and action. Its truth is absolute insofar as, living within us, it suffices to exhaust those capacities.

The truth was whatever permitted the new fascist man (and woman) to dominate others, and whatever made the chosen people triumph.

C) heavy authoritarinaism tied to extreme propaganda that is provably false in under 30 seconds, when confronted with the fact these things are false Trump supporters often claim they knew it was a lie but is some form of 4d chess. I can find thousands of examples of this if you'd like. A relevant bit from Hannah Arendt in the origins of totalitarianism:

"In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness."

Want me to keep going? i can think of not a single proto fascist standard the magatards do not meet.

So the Democrats are a proto-facist movement?

a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;

the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual to it;

No deviation of thought, you must support current thing.

the belief that one's group is a victim,

The dems are constantly whining how mean the republicans are even if they use the same tactics. Blacks are being killed en mass, the gays are going to be killed en mass, women are going to be r*ped and made into breeding sow, trans people are 30s from being concentration camped, Republicans re going to start a second Holocaust of Illegals.

dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism,

Free speech and individual thought have been derided for years by democrats, don't think just #Resist trump

the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;

In this case Pure isn't of race but of thought and behavior, if you aren't vocally supporting current thing to attack Orange Man. Paradox of Tolerance.

Harris had to walk back her off the cuff statement of wanting to shoot an intruder because it wasn't the kind of violence Democrats are ok with.

Mary Peltola of Alaska was attacked and lost funding because she was pro-gun, leading her to loose her reelection to a Republican.

the need for authority by natural leaders (always male),

This author is an r-slur and should be discarded. Thatcher in her time was called a Fascist by 'respected scholars'. Anyone clinging to the idea that a Fascist group's leader needs to be male is an idiot, there are literal Neo Nazi groups that want to revive the Reich that are lead by women who were daughters of the previous era. North Korea is about one cheeseburger away from being lead by a woman and they are far more inline with fascism than communism.

the superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal reason;

This is just a backdoor statement of going 'Fascist are dumb' without real reasoning. Trivially debunked by the brand of Fascism China uses, to suggest they are cruising on instincts post Mao is beyond stupid. This author you are citing is a joke.

the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success;

Democrats again fit this. Violently resist, riot for BLM, you have free will as long as you fit the latest talking points. Look at how aggressively quick Gabbard was exiled for disagreeing. Gabbard is somehow a russian asset despite having a TSC?

the right of the chosen people to dominate others without restraint from any kind of human or divine law,

Blacks, Trains, and white women can do what they want without restraint and are higher authorities. Women never lie. Black people having knife fights on the street is their culture.

A bit from Robert paxton in the anatomy of fascism:

Yes, you are right the Truth is that Biden wasn't senile, that cops are gunning down blacks by the 1,000s a day, women never lie, the FBI is a good organization that has grown passed it bad history. Fire but peaceful.

Cult of Personality

like the one that grew around KamKam Harris the moment she was pushed into the nomination? A woman who's VP numbers were in the shitter until suddenly not?

RGB religious candles.

the washing of history, his statements

Like they and you do to Biden? Biden a man with a history of racism that goes up to today? Biden who kept walking off? Biden who when a long career investigator said was senile they attacked the investigator?

heavy authoritarinaism tied to extreme propaganda that is provably false in under 30 seconds, when confronted with the fact these things are false

Again the democrats match this, according to the media:

Biden wasn't Senile, despite the many pieces of evidence

Harris was pro gun

Harris never called for a Mandatory buy back of guns

Hunter Biden's laptop was called fake

Trump Abandoned Michigan rally goers in freezing weather

Biden claimed Florida banned teaching the history of African Americans

CRT isn't a thing, but if it was a thing it wasn't in schools

Harris wasn't the Border Czar

Biden wasn't flying illegals around the country

The Democrats, and the traditional elites, are more then willing to lie. Which is one of Paxton's five stages. So, the Democrats are a proto-fascist movement then?
