It&#8217;s a step-by-step instruction manual that lays out the process of undermining liberty and replacing it with oppression. Those steps include converting the military into a personal security force to protect the leader and persecute his enemies, suppressing the rights of free citizens to vote and engage in peaceful dissent, and clamping down on the free press in order to prohibit criticism and disseminate propaganda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68687\" target=\"_blank\">HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s official Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News, remains the primary distribution center for Trump-fluffing bullshittery. And at the top of the list of slobbering sycophants is Jesse Watters, a co-host of Fox&#8217;s <em>&#8220;The Five,&#8221;<\/em> a program named for it&#8217;s four glassy-eyed MAGA cultists and one lonely liberal.<\/p>\n<p>On that program on Tuesday Watters told a story that he seemed to think would present him in a sympathetic light. It didn&#8217;t. He expressed his shock at the way he was treated by a passerby near his home. But then he was surprised by the response from the one liberal co-host on the program, Jessica Tarlov&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Watters:<\/strong> I was walking today, in my neighborhood, on my street. This car comes throttling down and he looks me right in the eye. He was already angry and he sees me and I give him a wave. Cause a neighbor I thought. And all of a sudden he passes me, screeches on the brakes, rolls down the window and says, &#8216;F U fascist.&#8217; In my neighborhood. I swear to god this happened this afternoon. And I&#8217;m thinking to myself, he doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m a fascist!<br \/>\n<strong>Tarlov:<\/strong> Yes, he does. You\u2019re on TV.<br \/>\n<strong>Watters:<\/strong> Do I come across as a fascist?<br \/>\n<strong>Tarlov:<\/strong> Yes!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3meldce6cjc2x\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreie4ppzpbhix22p4brh2bxxvaelzuopbqhv6mvgod3yyjwv55kor5a\">\n<p lang=\"en\">WHOA!!! On Fox News Jessica Tarlov just called her co-host Jesse Watters a fascist. And Watters didn&#39;t deny it. ??<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3meldce6cjc2x?ref_src=embed\">2026-02-11T11:02:59.009Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jessica Tarlov deserves credit for telling it like it is. She endures a great deal of abuse on that program as her rightist co-hosts constantly belittle and talk over her. But this time she managed to get some truth out and expose Watters to his face, and on his own show.<\/p>\n<p>Still, you have to wonder why Watters was surprised. He seems like someone who would be used to being yelled at for being a fascist. However, in the retelling of this incident, Watters complains about the encounter saying that <em>&#8220;He doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m a fascist.&#8221;<\/em> To which Tarlov set him straight by pointing out that everybody knows. After all, he&#8217;s on TV everyday proving it.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s particularly notable about this exchange is that Watters doesn&#8217;t deny that he&#8217;s a fascist. In fact, his retort was not <em>&#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m not a fascist.&#8221;<\/em> It was <em>&#8220;He doesn&#8217;t know I&#8217;m a fascist?&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s how you phrase it when someone correctly assumes something about you, but you didn&#8217;t think other people could tell. For instance, if someone complimented your hairpiece, you might say <em>&#8220;How does he know I&#8217;m wearing a toupee?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So Watters is essentially confirming that he&#8217;s a fascist. Not that an objective person wouldn&#8217;t already know that. He always defends Trump&#8217;s most fascistic activities. Including deploying troops into American cities to suppress protesters, conducting regime change invasions of foreign countries, ordering his <em>&#8220;Justice&#8221;<\/em> Department to prosecute political foes, firing government lawyers and other civil servants who were not sufficiently worshipful of Trump, threatening the media with meritless lawsuits and even criminal actions, and Watters has been unreservedly supportive of Trump&#8217;s agenda of overt bigotry on the basis of race, gender, religion, and nation of origin.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah&#8230;Watters is a fascist. It really isn&#8217;t a very well kept secret. And Tarlov was right to point it out. Sadly, many Fox News viewers won&#8217;t care. But that&#8217;s only because they are fascists too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68772\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68705\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s FCC Threatens to Change \u2018Equal Time\u2019 Rules to Suppress the Free Speech of Trump Critics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68671\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Whines That He Has \u2018Accomplished So Much\u2019 That \u2018We Shouldn\u2019t Even Have An Election\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States is currently undergoing what may be the most dangerous period of its historically brief experiment in democracy.
