    I don’t know if I’m one of those people, but I’m a huge fucking fan of antifa. My grandfather fought fascism in WW2 and, call me old fashioned, that just kinda stuck with me.

        “everything”

        Sure buddy.

        Yeah the GOP aren’t fascists at all, they’re just a group of religious, authoritarian ethno-nationalists that oppress minorities, advocate violence, recruit the disenfranchised by blaming minorities who are simultaneously weak and a dire threat, and promising a return to an idealized, fictional past. That’s totally not the textbook definition of fascism at all. /s

          I didn’t say the GOP wasn’t fascist. You’re clearly reading what you WANT to see instead of reading for context.

          My point is an argument against the kids that call EVERYTHING they disagree with fascist. Including democrats/Biden.

          Stop sensationalizing everything everyone says and lean what nuance means. It’ll save you and everyone that will ever have to deal with tog a LOT of time.

        Us kids? You don’t know my grandfather. And you don’t know me. And apparently you don’t know math all that well, either. Mate, I have a grandchild of my own.

        I will be a dictator, but only from Day 1 is not Faschist?

        Storming the capital beating people to death and wiping shit on the walls is just a normal day?

          I’m talking about the asshats that say the democrats are fascists as well. If you’re not one of them, then you spoke out of turn.
