All discussions of Left-wing overreach will now come pre-Godwinned, as they really have become fascists. Here's how we know:
We already know the Left has a well-established pattern of projecting their own traits onto their opponents. One of the more obvious, recent examples is the way they ramped up their usual accusations of racism to the more absurd charge of white supremacy. That was just before they took a hard left turn into literal racial segregation, and blatant denigration of white people.
Or for another example, they continue to fabricate claims of Republican voter suppression, and Republican attacks on "democracy." At the same time, fresh from their
take-over of the 2020 election, they tried to pass a law nationalizing many aspects of state-wide elections.
The list goes on. Having impeached Donald Trump for allegedly pressuring the Ukrainians for some sordid purpose, they went on to nominate a presidential candidate that had actually pressured the Ukrainians for sordid purposes - and bragged, on television, about how he had bullied them. The Left theorized conspiracy, on a grand scale, about Trump's collusion with Russians to throw an election; but only after they actually colluded and conspired with Russians to throw, and then undermine, an election.
And of course we have the charges of fascism. Much like the accusations of racism, the fascism charge has been around for a while. And Left-wing fascism was already on display in "protest movements" before the Age of Trump. But since 2016, "anti-fascist" fascism has taken on new life. And, like clockwork, fascist hordes poured into the streets in 2020. Authoritarianism has only ballooned since then, especially around Covid. And the neo-racism continues.
Given the Left's pattern of projection, their "antifa" pose should be taken as a fascist manifesto. Godwinn can take a break.
