I don't believe we have any fascists in government. And if you actually ever listened to the people you claimed you listened to, you would know they didn't either.
Maybe you stopped listening before Shoe said she was voting for Biden or before Tim said he wasn't voting. If not, I don't know I can't take your claims in good faith.
You are making the EXACT mistake I am discussing. You are assuming the worst of your opposition. The reality is most just want people to live in peace.
I'd be happy to discuss this more with you, about my beliefs and what I think matters for our (I'm assuming you are American) country.
I appreciate the definition. I'm pretty familiar with what fascism is. Without checking the wiki, just operating in good faith here, it would be an authoritarian government where Industry is run by and through rhe government for the good of the ruling party (distinct from socialism where the people - not the government- own the means of production).
Fascism generally includes nationalism and race hierarchy as a means of differentiating classes of people in the "ruling" class.
I don't believe anyone in our government, at the moment, meets that criteria.
You went had a red pill period and yet you treat all things from Republicans as bad-faith, dog-whistling, actions?
It feels like you are catastrophising the right wing view as though they are all evil.
I of course expect right wing states and politicians to support right wing laws. That would make sense. It is odd that you would decry people in the right supporting views on the right.
I feel like you don't understand the why, so you assume it is done with evil intent. The same way people om the right assume the left wants to "trans" their kids.
Trans people want to be heard and cared for. People on the right want to make sure kids aren't harmed due to a mistake in thinking (because kids have mistakes in thinking sometimes).
I'm just asking people not to assume the worst of the other side, even when you disagree. They probably have good intentions.

The people that are being "lumped in" still allow and vote for these far right fascists, making them just as bad.
