    [Fascism] has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action.

    Yeah, this guy can fuck right off.

      Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

      Maybe he’s been in opposition of using the term because he’s fucking fascist-lite himself. Fascist with half the calories.

        Calling liberals fascists is literally overusing the term to the point of meaninglessness.

        Fascists are real and they’re here, and they hate liberals and liberals hate them too. Calling liberals fascists is not going to help the situation.

        And if you’re going around making liberals bleed because you disagree with them, then you might wanna look in a mirror because you might be a fascist.

          “Don’t overuse the term fascist you’ll make it meaningless and that makes you a fascist!”

          Like you people can’t help but be hypocritical in the same damn sentence.

            I didn’t say “don’t use the term fascism.” If someone’s a fascist, call them a fascist. And there absolutely are fascists.

            But don’t call people who aren’t fascists, fascists, because that makes the the term meaningless. And liberals by definition are not fascists.

            Focus on the actual fascists, the far-right and everyone enabling them. Don’t call the opposition fascists just because they’re ineffective, with minorities in both chambers of congress and the supreme court.

            What makes you a fascist is advocating for making people bleed just for being liberals.

            And you had to willfully butcher everything I said in order to pull such a distorted interpretation out of it so you could make your strawman. And guess what? That’s what fascists do!

          Do they hate fascists? They seem to be quite accommodating what with the slow rolling of justice for any infractions and the weakest of resistance to funding any ‘security’ concerns.

          But no, calling them fascist wont help.

                Okay dude, go out there and take some concrete actions and when I see you in the headlines I’ll know you made a difference.

                But until then, stop blaming the people who literally voted against this to try to stop it from happening in the first place.

                You were probably one of the idiots going around telling people not to vote, and if so you’re as much to blame for this as anyone who voted for trump.
