Congressman Adam Smith says ‘totalitarian’ protesters are ‘trying to silence anyone who dares to disagree with them’

Protesters calling for Israel to cease fire in its war with Hamas who have disrupted US public events and infrastructure are practicing “leftwing fascism” or “leftwing totalitarianism”, a senior US House Democrat said, adding that such protesters are “challenging representative democracy” and should be arrested.

“Intimidation is the tactic,” said Adam Smith of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the House armed services committee. “Intimidation and an effort to silence opposition … I don’t know if there’s such a thing as leftwing fascism. If you want to just call it leftwing totalitarianism, then that’s what it is. It is a direct challenge to representative democracy now.”

    Sadly, “voters give votes” isn’t a strategy to actually break the duopoly in America… Looks like I got my hopes up for nothing…

      What hopes? What do you hope happens?

        Well… Not to restate the obvious, but I hoped you had discovered a viable anti genocide third party that could overcome the duopoly.

          Again, viability is entirely up to you the voter.
