The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”

“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.

This is giving me fashbacks to 8th grade

”What exactly is fascism?"

"It's when the leaders force way(s) of life and punish anyone who won't or can't conform."

"So it's basically authoritarian, like communism?"

"Well, not exactly. Communism is explicitly antifascist and anticapitalist. Fascists actually love unchecked capitalism."

"Does that make communists good guys or not?"

"They're basically authoritarian. But we fought fascists with them."

"So what are we?"

"We have Freedom. We're different."
