Susan Rice Goes Full Fascist | The American Spectator

Well of course.

What else would you expect from a supposed “public official” who believes that public service in a democracy is all about threatening to arrest the opposition?

Breitbart headlined this latest from former Obama United Nations Ambassador and Biden domestic policy staffer Susan Rice this way: “Susan Rice Threatens Trump Supporters: ‘Revenge Is Best Served Cold’.”

The story reported this on Rice’s interview with former Democratic prosecutor Preet Bharara: “President Joe Biden’s domestic policy chief is promising revenge against the voters, business executives, and appointees who support President Donald Trump’s 2024 election mandate.”

The story went on to report Rice as saying:

A very prominent public figure, who has served at nearly the very highest levels, once told me … “Revenge is best served cold,” and the older I get, the more I see the wisdom of that.

…..When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore, is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump.

…They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.

And I can tell you, Preet, as I talk to leaders in Washington, leaders in our party, leaders in the states, if these corporations think that the Democrats when they come back in power are going to, you know, play by the old rules and [say] “Never mind, we’ll forgive you for all the people you fired, all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you’ve skirted.”

I think they’ve got another thing coming … they’re going to be surprised. Democrats have had a bellyful, and we’re not going to play by, you know, the old set of rules.

“We’re not going to be suckers … there will be an accountability agenda.”

Amazing — and seriously revealing.

What the former Obama/Biden aide has revealed is not the mindset of a serious presidential aide committed to democracy. What Susan Rice has revealed is that she is, in reality, a quite open fascist.

America is not, she apparently needs to be reminded, Mussolini’s fascist Italy or Stalin’s Communist Soviet Union. Places where dissent is not only not tolerated but where those who do dissent from any given policy are both targeted and prosecuted because the dissenter has dissented from an “accountability agenda.”

In other words, to borrow from Rice, she has taken a knee to the far Left agenda and its decidedly extremist agenda. And if anyone out there dissents and refuses to take a knee to the golden idols of the far Left, the moment they again have control of government, Rice and her fascist comrades will be coming for them in exactly the fashion of history’s fascists.

What is particularly telling here is that Rice’s remarks have been greeted with silence from her fellow Democrats. Which sends a message that they apparently agree with this fascist approach to governing the world’s leading democracy.

Worse still, the signals they send out are letting varying crazies think it is just nifty to try to target President Trump with violence. As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said of Leftist rhetoric: “They are normalizing this violence. It’s got to stop.”

And the president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said: “You have to ask yourself, whenever you just casually throw around terms like Nazi, like fascist, like Hitler and racist, what do you think the consequences of that ultimately will be?”

Exactly.

And these are the kind of people Americans are being asked in the next presidential election to trust with the Department of Justice?

Really? Seriously?

The answer — while America is still a democracy — is to stand up and fight back with the legitimate tools a democracy gives us all to use.

Something former Ambassador Susan Rice clearly does not understand — or wants to understand.
