Who are the fascists?
We, the Democrats, have leveled that charge against the MAGA Republicans. But if you look at their media, they are claiming that DEMOCRATS are the fascists. So let’s look at the evidence.
Let’s evaluate who is trying to force their beliefs on whom.
A woman’s right to bodily autonomy:
We believe in choice for women who become pregnant.
This means deciding for herself whether to give birth or not.
If abortion is against your religion, don’t get one. If it is against ANY beliefs you may hold, don’t get one. In 50 years of Roe the Democrats never once forced an abortion on anyone. Choice means to do it or not do it.
On the other hand, the Republicans tried for at least 40 years to take that choice away, finally succeeding last summer, once they had finished packing the Supreme Court.
In just these few months they have FORCED thousands of women to give birth against their will. They care nothing for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. But that is not even the point. The point is that they have forced their religious beliefs on all the rest of us.
Marriage:
Democrats believe that any two people who are of age and of sound mind should be able to marry and become a family.
The MAGA Republicans think that THEIR religion should dictate who can marry, who can live together, and even who a person can have sex with. They want THEIR believes to enter into your home and even your bed.
Religious Freedom:
This right is so important it is in the bill of rights. Democrats stand for your right to worship as you choose, including not at all. We believe that in this pluralist society we must make our own spiritual decisions and that the state has no role. The religion clause in the 1st amendment must be considered a wall between church and state.
The MAGA Republicans would have a theocracy. They believe that this is a “Christian Nation”. In other words they want you to be a member of THEIR church or be a second class citizen.
Voting Rights:
Nothing could be closer to the heart of American democracy than the franchise. Democrats want universal suffrage over the age of 18. We want voting to be easy. We want as big a turnout as possible.
The MAGA Republicans want to limit voting as much as possible. They have already used various laws in any states they control to make it as hard as possible for the types they don’t like to vote at all. Which means any non-white people and Democrats as a whole. If they gain any more power watch the franchise shrink. White folks…white MEN…Landed white men. Just like the early 19th century.
These are just four examples. I am sure there are more. This answers the question “who are the fascists?” objectively.
The Democrats stand for representative democracy.
The MAGA are objectively fascist.
Thank you.
