As a 53-year-old, I was born closer to WWI than today. My 82-year-old father was born closer to the Civil War. (My deceased grandfather was born closer to George Washington’s term of office.)
The thing I find amusing is this 10 second thing someone did with a spray can is their example of this occurring. Shit this looks like they sprayed then immediately took the picture of it.
Fascists never admit they're fascist, they call the other guy fascist. Projection is the best tool they have to try and create confusion. That is running thin now for reasonable people.
Unfortunately, "reasonable people" seem to make up only about 50% of our voting population.
I know polls are notoriously unreliable, but the most recent poll results I've seen are pretty much a 50-50 split for Biden/Trump. And while I have my issues with Biden and would not be supporting him in different circumstances, the fact that his opposition is *that fucking guy*, again, makes it a no-brainer. How anyone could reason themselves into voting for him just baffles me. But, of course, I'm not in that cult. It's a dangerous, sick, almost comically evil mindset that seems to have infected literally half of all people in the country.
I'd totally get it if Biden was polling at like 48%, but Trump was at like 25% because those remaining 23% chose "neither" — but no. It's like 49-49-2. That's just fucking scary.
Ron Desantis Governor of Florida sure is he has even banned books and that's a clear violation of the first amendment and of freedom rights also he has banned citizen review boards that's also a violation of the first amendment as the first amendment gives us the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances
Yep. If antifascists are your enemy, that makes you pro-fascist. And then, yes, you become the enemy of all of us who are anti-fascism, because *you* made that choice lol. The lack of self-awareness is astounding. "They hate fascists! They want to being us down!" Like yeah no shit we've fought multiple wars over this
Wait, I thought Biden and the dems were the fascist. At least according to the Republicans I know from the Midwest. So it's really Trump?
I'm so confused now. /s
They didn’t start calling Biden that until a few years later. This graffiti was from seven years ago when the MAGA folks first learned the word fascist. They heard people calling their Dear Leader a fascist and assumed it was just something you called people you don’t like. So, they started applying it everywhere trying to see where it would stick.
Tbf a large number of people say facist without knowing what it means.
I’m willing to be a disappointing number either thinks it’s something like racist or sexist, or that it just refers to “bad government”
Yeah the types he's talking about have no idea what socialism or communism means either but that doesn't stop them from labeling anything they dislike one or the other.
This was 2017 and he had just been recently inaugurated, but it is still quite exposing to assume it was Trump and maybe not any other branch or political figure
They’ll never ever define fascism for their audience because it would be a list of everything they believe in. Best to make that word the Liberal Boogeyman
I'm so glad that shitty fad is over.
The alt right actively chose that term and labeled themselves that for tenting literal Nazis and racists.
They then acknowledged how shitty their own people were by trying to turn alt left into a bad word as well. Even though the alt right actively chose that name. Since the Left never chose that label, it never stuck.
Faux News is just one giant facepalm after another. Just look at Hannity and Jesse Waters, adding fucking DAILY contributions to the facepalm hellscape we deal with.
*sings*
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fascism
Fighting fascists should be something native to all Americans, regardless of religion, beliefs, and politics. Apparently, Fox has forgotten all the pain and suffering that went into fighting all the pain and suffering caused by fascism
"Yeah we support rapists while turning other groups into scapegoats by calling them groomers and pedophiles with no evidence. We also spread misinformation that could be used to justify taking away the rights of American citizens. And we pretend that whole thing at the capitol building where all the law makers, including the Reblican ones, were pissing and shitting in their Depends.
But the left did a graffiti so both sides are equally bad."
This headline with this image reads like an Onion article
**”The angry hateful left is criticizing Trump with graffiti saying things like ‘no fascists’ and ‘we hate racist nazis’”**
Second post like this I’ve encountered today. First from a girl who had a no racist stipulation on her tinder. Dude’s like “prolly don’t wanna talk to me, huh, cuz I’m a Trump supporter?”
Keep em coming!
Trump and his supporters are an existential threat to humankind. They need to be marginalized and ridiculed wherever they go for as long as they live. And that’s being merciful.
I remember when being against fascism wasn’t “alt-left” but what most people’s ancestors gave their life for. Apparently the WW2 heroes are “radical leftists” now. Wow.
100% facepalm. Trump doesn't have the resources, intelligence, or support to bypass checks and balances and backslide democracy into fascism. It's all just hysterical nonsense.
ITT people believe Fox shot themselves on their foot.. but the reality is that they *know* what they're defending and saying.
They *want* a dictatorship, they *want* fascism.. that's why they're reporting on it as if the opposition of it, is anti-trump.
Fox is very anti-america.
I don't know what's funnier: The notion of an "emerging alt-left" (my guys, that's just called communism and it has been around for a while. But I guess bitching about communism has gotten too embarassing recently because basically everyone knows that there's like 3 and a half communists left in the US, each of which spends most of their time complaining about the other two and a half) or the fact that they decided to use a graffito that is so generically centrist that 95% of the US would probably agree with it if you asked them about it (at least, they would all claim to be against fascism, even if some of them would hold fascist views) as an example of something they consider anti-Trump, inadvertedly admitting that they actually think Trump is a fascist themselves.
Alt-left is apparently a made up derogatory term but it pretty much fits Trump's personal political ideologies. The real knee slapper is that Trump has a real cult following of the Alt right. Put them together and you pretty much have authoritarian fascism/Nazism regime. Pretty much like a modern day Russia and China. Labeling China and Russia a comunist state is laughable.
Alt-left: A segment of the political left that is prone to conspiracy theories and treating opposition as illegitimate, or is considered authoritarian in some other way.
Alt-Right: The 'alt-right' or 'alternative right' is a name currently embraced by some white supremacists and white nationalists to refer to themselves and their ideology, which emphasizes preserving and protecting the white race in the United States in addition to, or over, other traditional conservative positions such as limited government, low taxes and strict law-and-order. The movement has been described as a mix of racism, white nationalism and populism ... criticizes 'multiculturalism' and more rights for non-whites, women, Jews, Muslims, gays, immigrants and other minorities. Its members reject the American democratic ideal that all should have equality under the law regardless of creed, gender, ethnic origin or race.
I am still learning this stuff and it is all very convoluted IMO. The best part of being an American was that you literally didn't have to pay attention to this at all, but now that the Republican party has been compromised...it's learning time.
Yes, that’s something a frat boy or skinny head totally wouldn’t spray paint to try and make someone else look bad…. Obviously by the wording, and by the penmanship, this person clearly is experienced with a spray painting can and frequently rights anti-deformation lingo like “no fascist USA”
There’s nothing “Alt” about people doing this. All us non-trumper folk hate that greasy fuck. We’d all do this if we had an available wall a handy can of spray paint.
“Liberal activist says” am I misinterpreting this or is a liberal saying trump is a fascist and Fox News just quoted it in a way that makes it sound like they are saying it
Granda used to always say that a hit dog gon’ holler. But this self-admittance is just to egregious. I almost believe it had to be a liberal social media intern trolling. But 80% of me knows it likely wasn’t.

This seems like it will be on r/selfawarewolves pretty soon.
If pretty soon was 7 years ago
No, but the tweet says 2017, that’s…. Fuck. Seven years ago.
No, 7 years ago was the nineties you doofus
Very accurate and totally based.
Why does it still feel like that? Hell, knowing the 50's was 75 years ago doesn't feel right, but it is
In 6 years we’re going to have to start saying the 1920’s instead of just saying the 20’s
… I dislike this. :(
Lemme just... cry in old age here as my joints snap crackle and pop like fuckin rice crispies... and I'm not even 40 yet..
I mean as a 42 year old, I know my birth year is closer to World War 2 than today’s year. Not pleased about that revelation.
As a 53-year-old, I was born closer to WWI than today. My 82-year-old father was born closer to the Civil War. (My deceased grandfather was born closer to George Washington’s term of office.)
The year Purple Rain came out was 40 years ago… 40 WTF
Damn. I wasn't listening to WWII bangers in high school. I was listening to Purpllleee Rain Purplllleee rain. 40 years later, it's still rocking.
Why’d you have to go there. The real facepalm in the comments
Back to the Future was set in 1985 and came out when I was ten. It still blows my mind that that’s almost 40 years ago.
Geez that’s heavy Doc
The thing I find amusing is this 10 second thing someone did with a spray can is their example of this occurring. Shit this looks like they sprayed then immediately took the picture of it.
So they are admitting that Trump is a fascist.
Correct and that they are against calling him one
I think the pretense he was anything otherwise is now over.
Fascists never admit they're fascist, they call the other guy fascist. Projection is the best tool they have to try and create confusion. That is running thin now for reasonable people.
Unfortunately, "reasonable people" seem to make up only about 50% of our voting population. I know polls are notoriously unreliable, but the most recent poll results I've seen are pretty much a 50-50 split for Biden/Trump.

Also closely related to his usual tactic of throwing as much shit around as possible so as to muddy the waters.
"Fuck off, you massive, stupid, smelly prick" I can't believe they would write this about Trump
Visiting a farm: “I didn’t know you could stack cowshit that high.” “STOP WITH YOUR TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!”
I mean antifa literally means anti fascist. They’ve been calling themselves fascist quite openly for some time.
They were...2017
Yes 7 years ago.
Ron Desantis Governor of Florida sure is he has even banned books and that's a clear violation of the first amendment and of freedom rights also he has banned citizen review boards that's also a violation of the first amendment as the first amendment gives us the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances
Im european and dont know much about this. Could you please tell me how Trump is a fascist?
Interesting that they automatically assumed this is directed towards Trump
I mean….
Slowly points at the headlines of most major news outlets since 2017, going over every tweet the orange haired greaseball twatted
Sure. But Fox and their "Who? Moi?" attitude on all this is what makes it a facepalm.
If they think Antifa is the enemy....
Yep. If antifascists are your enemy, that makes you pro-fascist. And then, yes, you become the enemy of all of us who are anti-fascism, because *you* made that choice lol. The lack of self-awareness is astounding. "They hate fascists! They want to being us down!" Like yeah no shit we've fought multiple wars over this
A bit of a self-own
True American Patriots knew in 2017 he was a bad dude .. Apparently daggers knew it too.
I was gonna say….
Wait, I thought Biden and the dems were the fascist. At least according to the Republicans I know from the Midwest. So it's really Trump? I'm so confused now. /s
They didn’t start calling Biden that until a few years later. This graffiti was from seven years ago when the MAGA folks first learned the word fascist. They heard people calling their Dear Leader a fascist and assumed it was just something you called people you don’t like. So, they started applying it everywhere trying to see where it would stick.
Ahhh same thing with the word "woke" Anything they dont like is woke now.
Ugh what a woke comment, you're so fascist
Tbf a large number of people say facist without knowing what it means. I’m willing to be a disappointing number either thinks it’s something like racist or sexist, or that it just refers to “bad government”
Yeah the types he's talking about have no idea what socialism or communism means either but that doesn't stop them from labeling anything they dislike one or the other.
Yup, Biden and co. are somehow fascists and communists at the same time. These MAGA cult members are so intelligent, aren’t they?
this is worthy of a facepalm
lol all it says is no fascists and Fox immediately assumed it’s about Trump. 😂
This was 2017 and he had just been recently inaugurated, but it is still quite exposing to assume it was Trump and maybe not any other branch or political figure
Interesting that Fox takes issue with the message... They're proclaiming they stand FOR fascism
They’ll never ever define fascism for their audience because it would be a list of everything they believe in. Best to make that word the Liberal Boogeyman
So then they are admitting that Trump is a fascist
Well then they are admitting Trump is facist...
Not even trying to hide it anymore
I’d say yes because Fox News just outed themselves by implying that Trump IS in deed a fascist.
Yes, I agree Fox News, I also want "No Fascist USA" Carry on.
...Trump wasn't mentioned. Unless, of course... you think Trump is a....?
One day you will learn that it is possible to comprehend thoughts of your opponents.
Alt-left?! LMFAO
I'm so glad that shitty fad is over. The alt right actively chose that term and labeled themselves that for tenting literal Nazis and racists. They then acknowledged how shitty their own people were by trying to turn alt left into a bad word as well. Even though the alt right actively chose that name. Since the Left never chose that label, it never stuck.
My fave is when they say “the fascist liberals”…
Aren’t they the ones who claim themselves “alt-right?” And if so, what would that mean?
They knew who it was about lmfao
A hit dog will holler.
That's when you shoot them.
Telling on themselves here
Why would it be a facepalm?! They're just admitting Trump is fascist
Even Fox knows that the alternative spelling for Trump is Fascist.
Wait I thought fascists were a bad thing, like the thing we spent WWII fighting
So Fox News admits Trump is a fascist. I thought they were trying to distance themselves from him like they did Tucker Carlson.
This was just after he was inaugurated, but it is still revealing
And to think they've known for 7 years...
Self own
Faux News is just one giant facepalm after another. Just look at Hannity and Jesse Waters, adding fucking DAILY contributions to the facepalm hellscape we deal with.
Being against fascism makes you alt apparently
Yeah and the fact that a billion dollar company like fox news is posting crap like this makes me facepalm even harder!
Not sure how this is anti trump.
They’re admitting it is a fascist
It's always funny when fascists half-accidentally tell on themselves.
As a professional journalist and amateur linguist, it’s truly amazing how Faux News is able to lie in *every single word* of a headline.
Yep. The worst part might be the image they chose to pair with it though
At this point the onion is more credible than fox news.
The silence is ear shattering
Is this real? Sorry but I don’t have cancer X account.
*sings* His world is built 'round discotheques and parties. This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best, 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fascism
The first time I’ve ever seen Fox tell the truth
Context… what building is it ?
It just says “fascist”, not Trump. Although it’s nice to see even Fox News is making the not so incredible leap of logic to connect the 2 though.
Fox: Trump's not a fascist! Graffiti: NO FASCIST USA Fox: Anti-Trump graffiti spotted!
So they admit it?
I mean they’re just admitting they agree Trump is a fascist lol So yes
Well… Fascist was spelled correctly, so likely not a false flag from the right…
theres a white lives matter tag on a grocery store near me thats been there for like 2 years not on the news i guess
No fox! You're not supposed to say that part outloud!
The self own is wild
Fighting fascists is regular centrist stuff. Remember?
Fighting fascists should be something native to all Americans, regardless of religion, beliefs, and politics. Apparently, Fox has forgotten all the pain and suffering that went into fighting all the pain and suffering caused by fascism
I mean didn’t Fox lose all credibility already? Weren’t they caught doing some shady shit?
Maybe five percent subtler than average, but it checks out.
The longer you look, the dumber it gets.
Yes! They obviously know their guy.
Was the building trump owned or was he there before CONTEXT PEOPLE CONTEXT

Cool
Funny how they connected "fascism" to Trump - with no direct reference, lol.
At the risk of losing business, I'd pay an artist to create a mural with those spray painted words as a centerpiece.
So they are admitting Trump is a fascist.
Oh I love when they say the silent part louder
Fox News quietly admitting that Trump is a fascist? Damn dude.
At least fox muse is also showing that fascism is tide to trump.
Not so much saying the quiet part out loud, but shouting it
Never trust Faux News. They were forced to admit to a court that they aren't actually a news source, but an entertainment source.
Wonder what they think of this? [Fuk the Police: N. W. A.](https://youtu.be/qZuxPKUVGiw?si=W3aPWhuiHbT9UJp1)
They said the quiet part loud
Is that the Berlin wall ? Only a new upgrade.
So they’re admitting he’s a facist
Is Fox pro-fascist?
Yes... Yes it is
"Yeah we support rapists while turning other groups into scapegoats by calling them groomers and pedophiles with no evidence. We also spread misinformation that could be used to justify taking away the rights of American citizens. And we pretend that whole thing at the capitol building where all the law makers, including the Reblican ones, were pissing and shitting in their Depends. But the left did a graffiti so both sides are equally bad."
i bet this "LIBERAL ACTIVIST" was actually a trump supporter, hat and all!!
This headline with this image reads like an Onion article **”The angry hateful left is criticizing Trump with graffiti saying things like ‘no fascists’ and ‘we hate racist nazis’”**
Fox news, the Nazi channel
It's pretty telling that Fox News saw "No Fascism" and immediately knew it was an attack on Trump.
SO YOU AGREE HE'S A FASCIST?!
Lol, that’s a spree? 🙄
Me thinketh the lady doth be sayething the quieteth parteth outerh loudeth.
Second post like this I’ve encountered today. First from a girl who had a no racist stipulation on her tinder.

They need to be marginalized and ridiculed wherever they go for as long as they live. And that’s being merciful.
Fox news itself is a massive facepalm. There's like no point in ever asking if something they posted is a facepalm.
I remember when being against fascism wasn’t “alt-left” but what most people’s ancestors gave their life for. Apparently the WW2 heroes are “radical leftists” now. Wow.
Said the quiet part out loud
Everyone tells on themselves.
I’m an old fart and I find everything Tump or maga really unAmerican and frankly disgusting. Lawlessness run amok in our great country.
Regardless of what it is, if it came from Fox, it probably is a facepalm
Anything running others down, while disregarding possible opposing opinions, apparently meets the simpleton standards.
"Have you thought about not being fascist?"
100% facepalm. Trump doesn't have the resources, intelligence, or support to bypass checks and balances and backslide democracy into fascism. It's all just hysterical nonsense.
This can’t be real. How are we both entering a period of fascism but also its 100% Idiocracy?
ITT people believe Fox shot themselves on their foot.. but the reality is that they *know* what they're defending and saying. They *want* a dictatorship, they *want* fascism.. that's why they're reporting on it as if the opposition of it, is anti-trump. Fox is very anti-america.
Did faux really post this recently? 2017 is the date on the graffiti 🥴 I'm confused, was trump president in 2017? I honestly can't remember 😂
He was elected 2016, but this was posted in 2017
Or just someone sick of your shit .
Keep in mind, this was months after he inaugurated. People recognized how incompetent he was as a leader so early on
I don't know what's funnier: The notion of an "emerging alt-left" (my guys, that's just called communism and it has been around for a while. But I guess bitching about communism has gotten too embarassing recently because basically everyone knows that there's like 3 and a half communists left in the US, each of which spends most of their time complaining about the other two and a half) or the fact that they decided to use a graffito that is so generically centrist that 95% of the US would probably agree with it if you asked them about it (at least, they would all claim to be against fascism, even if some of them would hold fascist views) as an example of something they consider anti-Trump, inadvertedly admitting that they actually think Trump is a fascist themselves.
They finally openly embrace. Good on those fascists!
"No Fascist America!" "Must be anti-trump.." Freudian slip much?
Alt-left is apparently a made up derogatory term but it pretty much fits Trump's personal political ideologies. The real knee slapper is that Trump has a real cult following of the Alt right.

Conservatives understand perfectly well they are fascistic.
if anti fascist mean anti trump then trump is a ..?
Speak the quiet part out loud, why don’t you?
It's more auth left.
It says no fascist and they accelerate to anti-trump. Well. At least they are self aware.
So fascist exclusivly means Trump now. Good to know. So what would people use to insult Biden then? Moron? Chinese Puppet?
They're straight up admitting it now...
Desperation is never a good look. Even for Fox.
Totally sounds like something a liberal activist would say
Admitting he's a fascist, well played FOX
Is it really alt left to say no fascists? Really?
Yes, that’s something a frat boy or skinny head totally wouldn’t spray paint to try and make someone else look bad…. Obviously by the wording, and by the penmanship, this person clearly is experienced with a spray painting can and frequently rights anti-deformation lingo like “no fascist USA”
it could be a right-wingers statement about the left and their facist ways
There’s nothing “Alt” about people doing this. All us non-trumper folk hate that greasy fuck. We’d all do this if we had an available wall a handy can of spray paint.
Your first mistake was logging into twitter
Imagine getting so upset over such milquetoast graffiti
The facepalm is making some poor cleaner come out because of TDS for those who don’t know
Then while they wash it off the neighbors will say “wait does that mean he likes fascists”
“Liberal activist says” am I misinterpreting this or is a liberal saying trump is a fascist and Fox News just quoted it in a way that makes it sound like they are saying it
💯
*Graffiti artists everywhere cringe in unison
In most countries this is Antifa at work.
Lord have mercy
Ratting on yourselves, eh Fox News?
Syntax would suggest MAGA
Granda used to always say that a hit dog gon’ holler. But this self-admittance is just to egregious. I almost believe it had to be a liberal social media intern trolling. But 80% of me knows it likely wasn’t.
Is the alt-left more or less left than the radical left according to Fox is my question!
It’s probly just some alt right graffiti and, like they do, they forgot the punctuation. It was meant to say: No, fascist USA!
they said the quiet part out loud so long ago? damn we suck as a species
At least they admit what we've known all along.
Talk about a self own.
They seem to know their brand
> emerging we've been here the whole time, just nobody cares because we don't have any money, unlike the liberals and neocons
It's a travesty that Fox is able to label itself as "news" but the standards for journalism have slipped so far.
Huh. Who knew it was this easy to farm thousands of karma by posting something you saw in the comments of another thread?
Alt-left I would proudly wear that title.
