President Biden’s non-unity speech last night in Rockville, Maryland featured some slams on “MAGA Republicans,” and that continued today with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre discussing which Republicans are apparently “semi-fascist,” whatever that means:
REPORTER: "The president yesterday suggested that Republican ideology is veering towards 'semi-fascism…' More than 70 million Americans voted for Trump in 2020. Does he not respect those voters?"

That’s an incredible accusation coming from the people who are trying to go around Congress and unconstitutionally and unilaterally “cancel student loan debt.” But projection is all the Biden administration has at this point.
In any case, accusations of “fascism” are now flying fast and furious, and even former Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider is getting in on the action with an apparent reference to the censorship efforts his band (and others) saw in the 1980s:
Twisted Sister was among bands who came under the microscope of the Parents Music Resource Center committee in the 1980s, and if Snider’s attempting to say that was run by right-wingers he’s now comparing to Trump supporters, that wasn’t the reality of the situation at all.
I remember you in Congress, Dee, arguing in favor of free speech because Democrats wanted to censor you. Now you're shilling for those same Democrats who are in power. pic.twitter.com/kWvLaS9Rd1

It’s funny how not long ago you were in front of congress crying about free speech… Because liberals wanted to censor music. Now you are here claiming you are one of those
My my my, how the not so mighty have fallen

Is Snider trying to compare today’s MAGA Republicans to the music censorship push in the 1980s that was led by… Tipper Gore?
It was the Democrats that tried to silence and sticker Dee’s album and art. He doesn’t understand his audience or his message at all. https://t.co/lTjahTzXAo

Oh right, the notorious Republican Tipper Gore and her husband wanted to ban you. I can see why you'd be angry at them. Dullard

It’s amazing how easily some can create alternate pasts so they align with a current desired worldview.
