    Yes, we know.

    See, everyone knows that fascism is a bad thing. That has been taught in every school since the end of WW2.

    It’s just a shame that most people never bothered to look up what fascism actually is, and it can be something your guys do as well.

      The sad and dangerous thing is that many are actually starting to come around to the idea that fascism is good. They have spent years denying that Trump is a fascist and are now fully embracing it.

      Fascism is bad, communism is bad, socialism is bad. Leftists have successfully been labeled socialists and communists, why would the other side care about being labeled fascists anymore? They’re just words, meaningless abstractions now.

        Right, but if you say to a Leftist “You are a socialist!” they’ll say “Yes, that’s correct”.

        The MAGA hats aren’t owning the word fascism. They don’t know what it is. They know it’s bad. It’s something that happened in WW2. It’s something others do.

        I’d link Michael Rosen’s “I Sometimes Fear” poem, but this administration did walk in saying exactly that, and half the people still didn’t connect the dots.
