This was the month when we were told by the president that the Republican Party stands for something “like semi-fascism.” That sounds important, if only we could figure out what it means. Is a semi-fascist a halfhearted authoritarian? Can you be 50% bigoted? Would semi-fascism have settled in the 1930s for Czechoslovakia but left Poland alone? We await answers.

As Reagan correctly pointed out, fascism is government control over private industry. Like the government turning businesses into an enforcement agency for vaccines and masks. Did Republicans do that? No. The CDC did it independently, and the Democrats jumped on board. So who are the fascists? Democrats. The CDC is already cleaning house.
