A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency’s leader said in a statement Saturday.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said. “This was reprehensible.”
The agency did not identify the employee, nor did it say where it happened.
But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling it “targeted discrimination” of Florida residents who support Trump, said it happened in Florida.
Voting for a fascist makes a person categorically a fascist. And by accepted measures of fascism, such as Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism, you’d have to do some major rhetorical gymnastics to conclude anything else.
Perhaps the people voting for Trump see him differently than you do?
This argument could just as well be flipped the other way around; voting for a communist makes a person categorically a communist.
You don’t think Kamala is a communist? Exactly.
No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Harris is a communist.
Maybe she’s not but her father was a marxist economist. Maybe that doesn’t mean anything to you but would you think the same about Donald’s father if he was a literal fascist? I doubt it.
You just keep assuming everyone sees the world the way you see. “No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Harris is a communist.” is no different that the right claiming “No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Trump is a fascist.”
If you want to win elections you need to get some of the people who voted for Trump to vote for your candidate the next time. Calling them fascists is not helping. It already got you Trump twice.
No, we don’t actually need to get them to vote for us. Trump got about as many votes this time as he did in 2020. The problem is the people sitting it out.
While I’d like to see his followers see reason, the fact is they voted for him after everything he did as President and 8 years of constantly telling them who and what he is so the only conclusion that makes sense is they voted for him because that’s exactly what they want. There’s not much we can do to convince them to switch sides without turning ourselves into him.
First, it doesn’t matter what Harris or Trump’s fathers believed, Harris is not a communist and Trump is a fascist based on their own stated beliefs and the policies they promoted while in office and running for election.
Second, it doesn’t matter what people perceive. What matters is reality. I’d wager most Nazis didn’t think of themselves as bad people. They were still fucking Nazis. Similarly, I agree most Trump supporters don’t think they are fascist or support fascism. However, their perception has no bearing on whether or not they’re actually fascist. And based on their chosen candidate, Trump supporters absolutely bare minimum support fascism.
So the sins of the father are revisited on his daughter?
Sounds like you’re one of those “red scare” peeps buddy. I mostly agreed with you until you popped off with this crap.
I don’t think she’s a communist, and I’ve never claimed otherwise. I even acknowledged this in the part you’re quoting, yet you still choose to misinterpret my views.
