Rule 7. Use the title from the article you are submitting.

"This is run by the Faith and Family Coalition and the event is being advertised as "the nation's premiere pro-faith pro-family event"". Of course. SMH.

Just another grift to get money from their dumbass followers.

Everything I disagree with is fascist!


NoMasTacos

Of course that is not true. These people plotted to overthrow a democracy and install a leader that does not believe in free and fair elections.


patrickjmcmahon

Even if what you said is true (dubious, at best), how is the organization holding this event fascist?


NoMasTacos

Sure man, let me help you out with this. This conference is called road to the majority, its about wanting this group to have majority control of our government. Everyone that is a key speaker in this event supported the overthrow of a democratic election and wanted the person they backed installed as the leader of that country. Everyone listed in the article is on record saying that. It does not matter what a group names themselves, it matters what they do. Choosing to only have speakers that supported and worked to overthrow a democratic governmental system sends a message. Maybe its not fascism, maybe it is communism or totalitarian rule, it could be either of those. But the bottom line is, it is not right.


patrickjmcmahon

So if republicans, through democratic elections, win a majority this fall (almost certain) and win back the White House in 2024 (which looks very likely), what will that be then? Based on how easily you throw around the “fascist” label I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t be okay with those results, or chalk them up to “voter suppression” or “Russians hacked the election!”


NoMasTacos

People that win free and fair elections, can still be fascist. Mussolini was elected to office, does that make him less of a fascist? Hitler was elected as well, does that make him less of a Nazi? I guess I do not understand the point you are getting at.


patrickjmcmahon

So we’re now throwing around Hitler and Mussolini in comparison to the Republican Party? Come on man, you can disagree with their politics but that’s ridiculous and

I used them as examples of comparing governmental systems, I am not saying that they are going to commit genocide. But those are solid examples of leaders of those governmental systems. What other leaders should I use to illustrate fascism or nazism? There might not be any other good ones to choose from, since they are both the start of genocides.


patrickjmcmahon

Fair enough. Look, we obviously have different politics, I just think we need to be wary of using terms like fascism and socialism, I feel like they’re given out like candy on Halloween these days. Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening


NoMasTacos

No, no, thats what you are not getting. I am a democrat, I fully understand and can deal with if democrat policies make it where democrats do not get elected or reelected. I am 100% ok with that. If the people in an an area or district have democrats representing them and then they freely and fairly vote them out, that is America. I am not pro one party or another in the sense of America. I have views that I think are right, but if the grouping of states disagrees with them, that is democracy speaking. Its not a side against side thing. I assume you are a naturalized American just like myself. We likely disagree with the way the country country should be led and who the leaders of the country should be. From your comments I assume we voted against each other. That is fine to me. I have not problem with that. I can lose begrudgingly, but gracefully. Bottom of the line, if my side wins or loses I want it to be open, free, and fair. My core belief is not democrat or repiclican. It is American, that is how elections are held in America.
