Does anybody else think that Dan Osborn sounds suspiciously like a protofascist?

At first he seems okay: he is a labor union leader with some proletarian experience, he supports a minimum wage, accessible abortions, is critical of corporations, he opposes a Republican candidate, and he is even interested in protecting some undocumented workers. So far, so good.

Then looking into his policies, that was when I started worrying: he supports small businesses, he favors stricter border control, and he brags about his military background. Although he does not appear to own a business, his wife works as a general manager of a bar and grill in Omaha. There is also this:

On foreign affairs, Osborn approvingly quoted a friend who had said: “funding Ukraine is America First.” “It is helping our national security by stopping Russian aggression there before it gets anywhere else,” he said.

When I learn that somebody has a military background, it tends to concern me but it is not necessarily a major obstacle to cooperation either. When somebody has a military background and misrepresents small business as an alternative to big business, that is when my alarm bells go off. I know that Osborn seems moderate or innocent now, but I’ll be unsurprised if his politics evolve the same way that Oswald Mosley’s did. Call me paranoid if you must.
