We’ve been hearing a great deal about fascism in this election, with the left making increasingly unhinged warnings about how Donald Trump will destroy Americans’ freedom to waste their lives watching pornography and force them to have children, while in the process of taking an axe to “our democracy” itself.
This seems, however, to be an increasingly obvious case of leftists resorting to their familiar tactic of accusing their opponents of what they themselves are actually doing. Over and over, we see leftists trying to intimidate people into being afraid to express views that oppose them, or even to allow their foes to have a fair hearing. So once again: who’s the fascist? They’re finding out at the McDonald’s that famously played host to Donald Trump.
What the Daily Caller reported Thursday was drearily predictable: “In the wake of Trump’s widely-publicized campaign stop at the ‘Golden Arches’” franchise in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, “Yelp disabled reviews for the location amid a flood of negative comments, and the franchise’s owner retained private security to ensure the safety of employees and patrons in response to threats made against the eatery.”
Oh, for Pete’s sake. Threats? Remember that when Trump made his celebrated appearance at Mickey D’s, the corporation issued a balanced and generous statement, saying: “As we’ve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While we’ve not sought this, it’s a testament to how much McDonald’s resonates with so many Americans. McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President.”
McDonald’s said that Harris was as welcome as Trump was, and added: “Though we are not a political brand, we’ve been proud to hear former President Trump’s love for McDonald’s and Vice President Harris’s fond memories working under the Arches,” as fictional as the latter may have been.
That wasn’t good enough for some of Harris’ fanatical cadres. Jim Worthington, who led Pennsylvania’s delegation to the Republican National Convention, said that the Feasterville McDonald’s had gotten threatening calls and social media messages, which it took seriously enough to hire armed guards.
Worthington also noted that the McDonald’s outlet that Trump made famous was not the only recipient of such treatment: “The individual that owns the franchise went out of his way, and you never know what the reaction is going to be from people that don’t agree with hosting something political. For me, I’ve had experience where they actually boycotted my business because of my support and it cost me millions of dollars in lost revenue. It takes a lot of guts to do that. I don’t know how his business has been impacted or not impacted, but I just wanted to show my appreciation.”
Worthington and others did so by going out of their way to defy the threats and patronize the Feasterville McDonald’s last Wednesday night. Worthington added that Trump supporters were not allowing the franchise to twist in the wind: “the community is really embracing it, and a lot of people have come in here since Sunday just to patronize the restaurant…A lot of people anticipated [a boycott] would happen, because that is typical for some Democratic supporters to do, but [the business] hasn’t been hurt.”
One of the patriots who was there last Wednesday stated: “I heard that [the McDonald’s owner] was getting hassled by people on the other side, the Harris people, and they were threatening him, and they were going on social media, Yelp in particular, and they were saying, ‘Oh, the food stinks and it’s got diseases,’ or whatever. So I heard that, and then finally, I just heard through the grapevine that they were going to do this tonight, so I came.”
Another stated: “The sad thing is, the owner here had threats against his business and his employees, and it definitely wasn’t the Trump supporters that were doing it. That’s a big reason why I am here.” A third said: “I heard about all the negativity that people were showering upon this particular McDonald’s, for all the positive things that Trump was showing that he was trying to do. What happened to this McDonald’s is not deserved, all the negativity that is being showered upon it. It’s American-owned and locally-owned. So these people don’t deserve all that. You have working Americans here, they’re trying to make a living just like everybody else in America.”
Yes, they are. As far as the left is concerned, however, nobody in America is allowed to make a living unless they have made it clear that they are not a threat to the left’s political and cultural hegemony. If the elites think you do constitute such a threat, large or small, you will be crushed. Jim Worthington and his fellow patriots who showed up at the Feasterville McDonald’s to defy these fascists, and for doing so, they deserve the gratitude of every free American.
Just more evidence that the Democratic Party is now the party of evil.
Here’s the kicker . . .
With such an exhaustive amount of examples (Douglas Mackey, etc), neither of us is even remotely surprised.
The vindictive, seething shitheads just can’t help themselves – it’s what they do.
(Someday, I hope these pricks try it on me.)
Democrats suffer from a reversed morality called reprobation in the New Testament. See: Paul’s Epistle to the Romans 1:18-32 (esp. 28)
Christians should not be enjoying the pleasure of such decadent food as McDonald’s anyway.
Stick to the Eucharist and fasting.
Mortify the flesh and purify yourself from decadent, voluptuary, appetites and Original Sin.
well at least you’re not quoting Ayn Rand – you are using the tactics of your god lozrfr-zatan to screw scriptures as he used scripture to try to mess with Yeshua Messiah at the end of HIS 40 day fast – you’ve been outed and your techniques are uncovered – shmuck –
How many fast food lines do you sit idling your vehicle polluting the atmosphere?
Fast food is not decadent as it is unhealthy and more the cause of obesity than any other food choices – you slobbering fool
Do us all a favor. GFY. Stick to your silly Rand Screeds.
You do realize you are already in your own self made hell.
It has been since at least 2016.
….since Obama let the UN condemn Israel …
If memory serves, that was late in 2015 (?)
First, Kamala lied (again) by claiming she had once worked at a McDonald’s–a false claim that neither the Corporation nor the local franchise has any record of, nor of which can Kamala produce proof from paystubs, tax returns of reportable taxable income, nor any other bank statement nor evidence of any kind. Not even some teenaged fellow McDonald’s employee who worked with her.
Second, it was a smear and a slap at the many young, low-wage, teenaged McDonald’s employees for their first real job with a W-2–to “prove” that Kamala once held a “middle-class” job as a teenager (as I, myself, with my local McDonald’s, once, in fact, did).
And now the boycott of that local franchise for allowing (to the smiles and welcome of their employees!) Donald Trump to use the Fry-O-Later to fry the fries and hand them out to customers through the Drive-Thru window.
How all of that infuriates the hard-Left by conclusively proving them liars and hypocrites, and by proving that Trump can actually do, and enjoy, the ordinary work of a working American!
The Obama-Biden-Harris followers bear a strong resemblance to two Maoist groups: Mao’s Red Guards, and the Party (CCP) apparatchiks. I would highly recommend the book “The Strategy of Maoism in the West: Rage and the Radical Left” by David Martin Jones and M.L.R. Smith.(2022) for insights into what we are observing today.
Mouse-E-Dung was bigger Mass Murderer of the Innocents(Sparrows and Humans)then Hitler was
First year students of psychology learn about “projection”. St. Paul refers to the same phenomenon in the second chapter of his warning to the New Testament church at Rome.
The difference in contemporary Democrat operatives is these guys know exactly what they are doing. It isn’t psychology, it’s nefarious manipulation in their insatiable lust for power.
As it always was.
“If the elites think you do constitute such a threat, large or small, you will be crushed.”

No. You do not have to be a threat.
Many Americans – myself included – know that Lefties will attack anyone they don’t like for any reason.
In my day, Lefties attacked me for being white, American, and male.
This was a good thing. It taught me to distrust them. And every day for nearly 50 years … I’ve never regretted that decision.
My only regret is that I wasted so many decades thinking Lefties were just ignorant, stupid, misinformed, psychotic, or had some other excuse for their sociopathic beliefs.
Now – I’m not yet ready to say they’re serial killers that thrive on eating babies sacrificed in satanic ritual murders …
But, yeah, I would not be surprised.
Thanks Dan, good life lessons.
Yeah, you can’t trust those mo-fos. I have otherwise respectable chicks wake up next to me and say they vote D-Bag, like Big Mike Obama and ask me to turn on CNN.
I give them a morning nail-job anyway but it kind of spoils the mood.
Typical reaction from Fascists/Bolshevik/Brownshirts I am sure Hitler Stalin Castro and Mao would approve of these scum suckers
Deranged by MSM propaganda.
Not to mention by the current administration and other partisan Democrats.
When President Trump wins the election tonight – or as they withhold the tallies when they see Trump is ahead – and lawsuits fly – expect outrageous behavior and criminal acts by paid soros agitators and bought and sold whore of the main sleaze media
The sad thing about this election is that no matter who wins half the country will not accept the results and will be convinced the winner stole the election and is not really the President.
That is the big danger here.
You cannot have a democratic republic if people do not accept the results of an election and there is not peaceful transfer of power after each election.
People have to believe that each election is legitimate.
I believe the Secretaries of State of each state that manages the election process is a person of integrity no matter what party they belong to and will count the votes accurately and announce the winner, whoever that may be. We all must believe that.
We all have to believe in the integrity of the electoral process no matter who wins or we are all in big trouble.
Everyone has to accept the results of every election. We can’t spend all of our time arguing over the results of the last election.
I will add that this did not start with Trump in 2020. The Democrats were doing this to Trump when he won in 2016.
I hope for the best and for a peaceful election, that we all accept the results, whatever they are, and for a peaceful transfer of power
It’s been said that liberalism is a disease. Given the lefties cannot recognize their projection, there is a good chance there is a good chance they are suffering from neurotic projection. They need help. Unfortunately, they will not realize that and probably will not accept it when someone points it out to them.
That vicious threats against that Mc Donald’s is to severe that guards are now need to ensure the safety of the people who work at that place only because it hosted a visit by Donald Trump reveals much about the intolerant lawless primitive mentality of those supporters of Kamala Harris.
Furthermore, related to this topic is that The “values” of Kamala Harris have not changed. For her “values’ are that of the precepts and concepts Karl Marx..
Considering the history of Kamala Harris with her favoring Communist movements she has never relented in supporting even to this current year of 2024 . Therefore, its no surprise that she favors the violent and dangerous Marxist thugs of BLM and Antifa and gives legal gives that horrific lawless and vicious hooligans the legal power to find loopholes in the law to get those criminal freed. as in “Off the hock “ for all the vicious atrocities they commit. Both of those Marxist organizations have strong ties with Hamas in their Red/Green alliance.
All this encouraging of chaos mayhem and outright destruction of private and public property fits ,very well in with the ideology of the hero of Kamala Harris. who is , of course, as he Karl Marx had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”
It’s been pretty obvious to anybody with half a brain that the Dems are masters of projection – everything they accuse Trump of, they have done or are doing themselves, often 10 times worse.
Remember when the Left boycotted Chick-Fil-A many years ago? As a result, Chick-Fil-A got so much business that in may cases they ran out of food! I very proudly ate there a few times more than normal.
I hope they do exactly the same for this McDonalds.
