Rob Reiner: Voting for Trump Will Cause U.S. to ‘Slip into Fascism'
2023-11-23
[Breitbart] Filmmaker Rob Reiner said Tuesday on MSNBC’s "The Beat" that voting for former President Donald Trump in 2024 will cause the United States to "slip into fascism."

Reiner said, "Last segment you talked about how young people are confused. They don’t like Trump, they don’t like Biden, they can’t decide who they want to vote for. But I’m trying to impress upon people as best I can that every time we have a presidential election, they always say, this is the most important election of our lifetime, they’re tired of it, this one actually is."

He continued, "You have one candidate in Trump who actually tells you he’s going to govern like an authoritarian. He says it. It’s not a mystery. And you have another guy who has been there, knows how to run the government, believes in the Constitution, believes in democracy, the rule of law, and you’ve got to make a choice. You have to make a choice. Do we want fascism, or do we want to continue the 248 years of self-rule?"

Reiner added, "Right now we’re at a place where it’s a cross roads. Do we want to continue democracy, or do we want to slip into fascism?"

#18  I believe he is being paid for his rants. I think the Yiddish term for that is being a shill.

#17  Biden is well on his way to taking us there so Trump can't be any worse.

And fuck off Rob. No one gives a shit what you "think"

#16  Robbie here is a prime example of someone who's competent at one thing, and only one thing.

#14  We are already there. Its just that brother Rob is on the fascist team and is too stupid to realize it.

#13  He had a tweet / X posting that more or less said something similar - 'Vote for Biden or we lose our democracy', something he can't or won't ever expand on. He's a simplistic Johnny one-note for the left.

#11  Rob Reiner wrote several episodes of "All in the Family". He's not blameless, he participated.

Archie Bunker was created so that the show could take cheap shots at white working class people and we couldn't say anything in response.

#10  Remember his show "All in the Family" in the 1970s, in which he created the Archie Bunker character so he could expose ordinary working class Americans to ridicule from on high?

He was a supporting actor, not a writer or director or the creator, dumbass

How were we supposed to speak out to people like him? Well, we weren't. You think him and his people like us even one little bit? No. They despise us and they tell us all the time.

#8  Actual democracy is utterly unsustainable, even in carefully run experiments. And "people of the left" would be aghast at some of the things The Majorityâ„¢ would vote for if all US political matters were settled by plebiscite.

#7  The only two outlets that provide any reporting on meathead are Breitbart, and this one. I wonder why?

#4  The left really doesn't understand what Fascism /IS/ so they don't see it's their own philosphohy.

#3  Given the implementation of state directed media, I believe we've already in a fascist environment.

Given he is of NY Bronx Jewish family birth and supports the LSD agenda. Of which many have clearly shown they lean heavily in the direction of antisemitism. Wouldn't that make him a Kapos,
a traitor to his faith?
