On October 24th the Washington Post article entitled “Harris, in escalation, calls Trump a Fascist” names,

on Wednesday she believes former president Donald Trump is a fascist, agreeing with the assessment of a growing number of Trump’s former top aides as she escalated her warnings about the Republican nominee’s character and fitness for office less than two weeks before Election Day.

Asked directly during a CNN town hall whether she thinks that Trump is a fascist, Harris said, “Yes, I do. Yes, I do.” Later, discussing voters concerned about the war in Gaza, the vice president said: “I also do know that for many people who care about this issue, they also care about bringing down the price of groceries. They also care about our democracy and not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”

Harris was no doubt influenced convinced by the revelations of Trump’s longest serving Chief of Staff 4-star general John Kelly (2027-2019) and others including retired Joint Chief Staff Milley. Tnat Trump seeks unfettered power has become more and more evident from his rambling speeches.

The primary trigger for this resurgent, credible charge was likely the repeated comments by Trump citing what he called “the enemies from within” who he plans to attack if elected.

The article is truly frighting as it continues.

Mark T. Esper, who served as Trump’s secretary of defense, added Wednesday on CNN that “it’s hard to say” Trump does not fall into the category of a fascist. That followed a warning from retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a new book by The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward that the former president is “fascist to the core.”

The cascade of alarms has created the unprecedented spectacle of a series of high-ranking military leaders, who by tradition are often nonpolitical, warning voters that a major presidential nominee is a potential dictator, underlining that message with a label that has traditionally been reserved for such figures as Italy’s Benito Mussolini rather than American political leaders.

Kelly’s warning has given Harris new ammunition for her assertion that Trump cannot be trusted with the powers of the presidency, and it has ensured that the question of Trump’s purported dictatorial character would be at the center of the campaign’s final days.

“He’s just putting out a 911 call to the American people,” Harris said of Kelly. “Understand what could happen if Donald Trump were back in the White House. And this time we must take very seriously [that] those folks who knew him best and who were career people are not going to be there to hold him back.”

The battering barrage continued with the page one October 23 front from NY Times article; entitled “Harris Calls Trump’s Reported Remarks on Hitler and Nazis ‘Deeply Troubling’

Which reposts

The vice president seized on reports in which John Kelly, a former chief of staff to Donald J. Trump, recounted explosive comments by Mr. Trump and said he met the definition of a “fascist.” Harris Says Trump Wants ‘Unchecked Power’

Vice President Kamala Harris, citing a New York Times interview with John Kelly, a former White House chief of staff, called former President Donald J. Trump “increasingly unhinged” in his pursuit for a second term in office.

Yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had. Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him. It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions. We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?

With only 10 days left until November 5th, the horror of an unhinged Trump putting our lives in extreme danger had better register with voters who have not yet voted.
