Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, February 02, 2026

A Letter to the Left To those who still believe, from someone who once did too. I need to tell you something, and I need you to hear me out before you decide what I am. I was one of you. Not in some distant, theoretical way. I was deeply one of you. I marched. I shared the posts. I believed, with total conviction, that the progressive vision of the world was not only morally correct but self-evidently so. Anyone who disagreed was ignorant or malicious. I had Trump Derangement Syndrome, but then, I complained about all politicians. I couldn't see it was a case of choosing the best of'. I had no middle ground. And that's what finally shook me awake: the realisation that I had stopped allowing for middle ground. My thinking had become entirely black and white. I had radicalised"slowly, invisibly"without even noticing it was happening to me.

Then, during a fight they should've easily won, they took one brutal punch to the face and their liberal toupees got torn off on live television, revealing to the world a swastika carved just above their collective hairlines.

People who have lost so much perspective that they obfuscate for Traitor Trump on a daily basis, having basically sold their souls to the Oligarch's Gangster Government headed by the Trump Crime Family at home and Jarad abroad.

Which is what Germans did in the 1930's when their Industrial Billionaires selected and financed a failed painter from Austria, who turned his bitterness and resentment against immigrant Jews to oppress and murder in the streets to gain political support and attack other peoples and countries at will.

That was the 3rd Reich. We have the dubious honor of watching the birth of the Fourth, which may be even messier and more evil.

Trump's picture fitting perfectly next to the Dictionary Definition of Fascism isn't cheap partisan rhetoric, nor are the same political forces that used Hitler using Trump anything but accurate history.

Fascism def

"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, and the forcible suppression of opposition.

It prioritizes the nation, and often race, above the individual, demanding strict social and economic regimentation while championing a myth of national rebirth.

Key characteristics of fascism include:

Dictatorial Power: Rule by a single, often charismatic leader who claims to embody the national will, often employing a cult of personality.

Extreme Nationalism: An obsessive focus on national decline, humiliation, or victimhood, combined with a desire for expansionism and perceived purity.

Suppression of Dissent: Elimination of multi-party democracy, trade unions, and individual rights; opposition is silenced through violence, imprisonment, or murder.

Militarism and Violence: Glorification of force and war, with the military often holding supreme power or influencing the state.

Controlled Economy: While often maintaining private property, the state heavily directs the economy, suppressing labor and aligning with corporate power.

Origins and Examples

Originating in early 20th-century Europe, fascism was notably established by Benito Mussolini in Italy (1922"1943) and later adopted by Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.

The term stems from the Italian fascio, meaning "bundle" or "political group," representing a unified, rigid body under state control.

Common Myths and Tactics

Fascist regimes often gain support by promising to restore a romanticized, glorious past, identifying scapegoats to blame for societal problems, and undermining media to control the truth."

This bill addresses voter access, election integrity and security, campaign finance, and ethics for the three branches of government.

Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.

The bill requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to carry out congressional redistricting.

Additionally, the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including sharing intelligence information with state election officials, supporting states in securing their election systems, developing a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions, establishing in the legislative branch the National Commission to Protect United States Democratic Institutions, and other provisions to improve the cybersecurity of election systems.

Further, the bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring additional disclosure of campaign-related fundraising and spending, requiring additional disclaimers regarding certain political advertising, and establishing an alternative campaign funding system for certain federal offices.

The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices, prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House.

The bill requires the President, the Vice President, and certain candidates for those offices to disclose 10 years of tax returns.

It isn't quibbling to point out that that bill doesn't nationalize elections, just like the Voting Rights Act didn't nationalize elections.

You. Are. A. F*&^ing. Idiot.

And all because in your pea-sized little brain, if you can twist any instance into 'but the dems do it toooooo' you're all good supporting whatever bulls*&^ Trump tells you to swallow.

Fact is, you demonstrate very little, if any, common sense.

"Common sense" is the refuge of idiots and fools who want to speak but can't formulate an actual argument.

And yet you're the dumbf*&^ supporting a party and POTUS who are tanking our economy and Republic with intentional action, not simple mismanagement of effects from outside for forces.

You seriously should just STFU and stop talking. About anything.

Because you're always wrong wrong wrong and in embarrassingly foolish ways.

Common sense is a real thing and the only reason you denigrate it is because you don't possess it. You live in a theoretical world.

I don't think I've ever encountered somebody with an ego as inflated as yours and with a self inflated sense of self perceived intellect.

Sounds to me like he has all the qualifications needed to become President of the United States!

"you've never even mowed your own lawn, assuming you even have a lawn."

Bro!! What a low blow! No need to cut him to the quick like that.

I bet you've really hurt his feelings with that one.

Maybe Jeff and Major B should go all MTG, and at least have a bit of reality on their side... rather than playing footsies wif da Fuehrer all day long making excuses for his atrocities against the People.

No, it's the label people apply to their opinions when they can't verbalize or conceptualize their veracity.

The intention is to make them seem so obvious it's not necessary to articulate why they're correct.

It used to be that it meant things so obviously true it wasn't needed to state a defense, but since MAGA has blown a giant gaping hole in the threshold between satire and reality, that no longer holds true.

"No, it's the label people apply to their opinions when they can't verbalize or conceptualize their veracity."

JPW is correct.

"Common Sense" is just argument from authority, combined with ad populem.

It's "lots of people are saying..."

Thomas Payne wrote a famous pamphlet called Common Sense supporting American independence from Britain.

But not everybody shared his "common sense" understanding.

Ad populum refers to a logical fallacy where a claim is considered true simply because many people believe it to be true. This type of argument relies on popularity rather than evidence to support the claim. --scribbr.com

For all of its faults MAGA knows the inherent differences between men and women. MAGA doesn't create oppression charts and teach children to hate each other and themselves on the basis of skin color. MAGA understands all of the pathologies built into an open border and unfettered illegal immigration. I disagree with Tru:p on plenty of issues, most notably, tariffs. Having said that, he has gotten some things right in regards to policy.

Trump added $12.5 Trillion to the debt and the dollar has fallen over 15% compared to the Euro in 1 year.

What a fantastic future Republicans have created for their kids and grandkids.

Best of luck America!

Liberals know precisely the difference between a man and a woman:

A woman is a human being who places her hand over the top of her drink when you walk behind her in a bar.

The MAGA party is the party of the white cisgender heterosexual male.

It has literally done everything it could to make life worse for everyone else in America.

Especially Black Women.

Hope trolling and lying helps your children.

Because the debt and dwindling dollar will definitely make life more difficult for everyone.

" Where does that bill "nationalize" elections?!?"
The bill creates a slew of new dictates that all states are required to follow. A national initiative that the federal government coerces the states to act as its proxies.

I just want to point out that jeff just says shit

Shit that is a lie

Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.
The bill requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to carry out congressional redistricting.
Additionally, the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including sharing intelligence information with state election officials, supporting states in securing their election systems, developing a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions, establishing in the legislative branch the National Commission to Protect United States Democratic Institutions, and other provisions to improve the cybersecurity of election systems.
Further, the bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring additional disclosure of campaign-related fundraising and spending, requiring additional disclaimers regarding certain political advertising, and establishing an alternative campaign funding system for certain federal offices.
The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices, prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House.
The bill requires the President, the Vice President, and certain candidates for those offices to disclose 10 years of tax returns.

A woman is someone who identifies as a woman

there are

cis women who were born with female anatomy and identify as women
trans women who were born with male anatomy and identify as women
intersex women who were born with both male and female anatomy and identify as women

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Yeah, hatefilled fuckwits

To be crystal clear

Scientists have created that definition of a woman based on scientific observations of millions if not billions of human beings over multiple cultures over millennia of human existence.

It really is that simple

Something exists, scientists identify it as existing and provide a descriptive label for said thing

Has happened for millennia of human existence.
