This is going to confuse those Republicans who've insisted that fascism is leftist.
Maybe now it's OK to start calling this Fascism? https://t.co/IioG1NjXCE via @MailOnline— Elliott Lusztig (@ezlusztig) February 2, 2017
Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch founded and led a student group called the ‘Fascism Forever Club’ at his elite high school, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The club was set up to rally against the ‘left-wing tendencies’ of his professors while attending a Jesuit all-boys preparatory high school near Washington D.C.
Although it's explainable as youthful impetuousness, this may help pull Senate Democrats out of whatever quagmire it is that they've gotten themselves into.
Gorsuch founded the ‘Fascism Forever Club’ during his freshman year at Georgetown Preparatory, a now-$30,000-a-year private Jesuit school that is one of the most selective in the United States.
[...]
The yearbook described the ‘Fascism Forever Club’ as an anti-faculty student group that battled against the 'liberal' views of the school administration.
‘In political circles, our tireless President Gorsuch’s “Fascism Forever Club” happily jerked its knees against the increasingly “left-wing” tendencies of the faculty,’ said the yearbook.
The sort of undergraduate objection long in the running. Shades of Ted Cruz, in fact. But it looks the same when you hold it up to a mirror, too. Why, I'm so old I remember when a wee neoliberal attending Brandeis University couldn't abide living in the Democratic People's Republic of Boston, and had to scurry back home to Texas so that he could wear his cowboy boots to class without being laughed at. (Cringing duopolists on both sides of the aisle, as we know, are a-skeered uh soshulism.)
Alas, and paraphrasing Donald Rumsfeld, you go to war with the Democrats you have, not the Democrats you want or might wish to have at a later time. So the battle to confirm or reject GorsuchaScalia is joined. Let's see if something interesting happens.
Update: Can the Senate Dems successfully filibuster the fascist club founder? Magic 8-Ball says "better not tell you now".
