Comment: The progressive's dark defamation of the President-elect is similar to the protestant demonization of the papacy.   

It's the same mental phenomena at play, whether it's from someone calling the papacy "the whore of Babylon," or calling the president elect a fascist.

Both slanders are grounded in nothing more than empty sentiment.   That's why they're slander.  Neither has any good evidence behind it, because all concerned don't understand American Civics any better than they understand Christianity.

Of course, neither progressives or Catholic-bashing protestants believe this is true.   "Look at what Revelation says about the antichrist....it's in the bible!" they cry.  Or "listen to the loud way he talked to that reporter, he must be a fascist" they explain.

They only think they have legitimate evidence.  But what they really have is junk evidence, fake evidence.
