Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round, for we are on the brink of yet another thrilling episode in the grand circus of American politics. Yes, you heard right! With just twelve days left to election day—buckle up! The tension is so thick, you could cut it with a butter knife, although I’d suggest using a machete for effect!
Now, let’s dive into this delightful mess with Vice President Kamala Harris stepping into the ring with… wait for it… a fascist label for Donald Trump! Yes, folks, we’ve officially hit that stage. I can see the T-shirts being printed now: “I survived the 2024 election, and all I got was this lousy label!”
In a recent forum hosted by CNN’s very own Anderson Cooper, Harris came out swinging. When asked if she considers Trump a “fascist,” she didn’t mince her words: “Yes, it is!” A bold declaration indeed! It’s like calling your ex the worst thing imaginable right in front of the family. “Yes, Aunt Mildred, he was a fascist, thank you very much!”
Harris, channeling her inner courtroom prosecutor, leaned heavily on the account of former Chief of Staff John Kelly and ex-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley—two figures who’ve definitely found a sense of humor in spilling the tea on their old boss. Apparently, the former president had casually mused about the merits of historical figures like Hitler, suggesting he’d prefer a military more obedient to him than the Constitution. Well, that’s a cheery thought! “Remember kids, when in doubt, channel your inner dictator. It’s all the rage nowadays!”
And speaking of rage, Harris warned that Trump has taken to labeling anyone who refuses to bow down to him as the “enemy within.” You’ve got to love it when politics gets dramatic! It’s as if we’ve wandered into the plotline of Game of Thrones with fewer dragons and a lot more oversized egos.
Lest we forget, there’s been a heavy dose of high-octane rhetoric from Trump. I mean, calling veterans and citizens “the enemy within”? That’ll go over well at the family BBQs! “Oh, Uncle Bob, you’re now the enemy because you don’t like my latest haircut!” Can’t wait for the Thanksgiving dinners this year.
Not completely to be outdone, Trump retaliated with his own special brand of insults—calling Harris “stupid” and “mentally disabled.” Ah, the classics! There’s nothing quite like an election campaign to remind you of charming childhood taunts. I mean, who knew politics could take a page from the playground?
And just when we thought the drama couldn’t escalate further, we have Charlie Kirk, one of the biggest stars of the MAGA sermon circuit, imploring people to “pray” for Trump. I can just picture it now—a candlelit gathering, everyone chanting, “Our Father who art in Mar-a-Lago, hallowed be thy MAGA!”
So, as we hurl ourselves toward this impending election with the grace of a toddler on roller skates, we must remember: it’s not just politics; it’s entertainment. Grab your popcorn, keep your friends close, and meticulously check your news feed. After all, who knows what wild accusations, hilarious retorts, and unintentional comedy gold will come next?
But one thing’s for sure—this is a show you don’t want to miss!
With less than two weeks until elections that both candidates frame as decisive for democracy, the US presidential campaign has intensified. At a forum with undecided voters in the CNNVice President Kamala Harris has responded to the question from moderator Anderson Cooper, who asked her if she considers Donald Trump a “fascist.” “Yes it is. And I think we should trust what the people who know him best say about him,” he said, referring to the revelations of his former chief of staff, John Kelly, and the former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, that These terms have been defined this week.
It is the first time that the Democratic candidate refers to her opponent with this adjective. In two interviews with The Atlantic y The New York Times published on Tuesday, Kelly claimed that, while working for him in the first two years of his term, Trump said on several occasions that “Adolf Hitler did some good things” and that he needed “generals like Hitler” in his army.
In another statement Hours earlier from her official residence in Washington, Harris referred to the former president as increasingly “unhinged” and “unstable,” and added that “it is deeply worrying and incredibly dangerous that he would invoke Adolf Hitler.” Trump, who if he wins the election will become commander in chief of the Armed Forces, “said that because he does not want an army loyal to the Constitution, but one that is loyal to him, personally. “Let him obey his orders, even when he tells them to violate the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution,” he said.

“Trump considers anyone who refuses to kneel or dares to criticize him to be the ‘enemy within’”
“In the last week, Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the ‘enemy within,’ and has said that he would use the military to persecute American citizens,” the vice president added, pointing to language that the Republican began to push. day he returned to the scene where they tried to kill him three months ago, in Butler (Pennsylvania), and which he has been repeating in every speech he has given in the last three weeks.

“Let’s be clear about who you consider to be the enemy within: anyone who refuses to kneel or dares to criticize you, such as judges, journalists or non-partisan election officials,” Harris continued, recalling that Hitler was responsible for the death. of “six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.”
The Democratic candidate has stated that the statements of her former coworkers are “a window to see who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best,” but she has stopped short of defining him as “fascist” in that speech. He did it hours later, in prime time on CNN, at an event with undecided voters from the state that is presented as the most decisive of the seven swing states of this election, Pennsylvania.

Trump’s rhetoric has become even more authoritarian and xenophobic in this final stretch of the campaign, which has only 12 days left. After the bullet fired by Thomas Crooks grazed Butler’s ear, he suggested that he would tone down his language to calm the waters. But he has done the opposite, intensifying his attacks against his opponent and calling her “mentally disabled,” “stupid,” “radical communist lunatic,” or “internal enemy”; and also saying that undocumented immigrants “poison the blood of the nation” or calling them “animals,” a definition that he now repeats more easily, and that he usually matches with others that he has been using since he entered politics in 2016. : “rapists”, “murderers”, “predators” or “drug traffickers”.
Vice President Harris, who until now had tried to be cautious when referring to her adversary, limiting herself to highlighting his “dangerous rhetoric” and the “threat to democracy” that Trump represents, has gone one step further by defining him as “fascist.” . The social network X, owned by one of the Republican’s greatest allies, billionaire Elon Musk, has exploded after Harris’ statements.
one of the greatest influencers from the MAGA sphere (from the motto Make America Great Again), Charlie Kirk, has said that it is time to “pray” for Trump because after this comment “they are going to kill him.” In another publication, after a Republican rally organized by his organization, Turning Point Action – one of the great promoters of conspiracy theories about electoral fraud in 2020 and 2024 – he insisted on the message with a photo in joking tone in which several people surround a crestfallen Trump, accompanied by a “pray for President Trump.”
