        So you don’t know. Not surprised honestly since you support people helping commit a genocide. Or is that not happening? Let’s hear the bullshit you have to twist to lie about that too.

          Words, my dear, mean something. ‘Fascism’ however, has quite many definitions. If we use Umberto Eco’s definition, then genocidal aspirations and/or policies, even though they are despicable, are neither necessary nor sufficient to be considered fascist. ‘Fascism’ does not mean ‘policies I don’t like’.

          Of course, I should probably stop using such big words when talking with you, as you seem to have problems with those. For example, in this comment, you say:

          They [Democrats, I assume] have continually worked to disenfranchise third party voters […]

          ‘To disenfranchise’ means to deprive somebody of their right to vote. Third party voters are not being disenfranchised, as by definition, they vote. It’s just that they’re wasting their vote.

          Of course, what have the Democrats done for you lately? Republicans want to deprive trans people of their right to exist, but you don’t care, because you aren’t trans. Republicans want to end abortion, but you don’t care, because you’re not pregnant. And you care about as much for Palestinians, as anti-choicers care for unborn babies. You’re tenuously middle income, the lowest class that can be considered part of the in-group of late-stage capitalism. Hence, you consider capitalism your enemy. But you failed to acquire critical reasoning skills. Not your fault, of course, the US education system is chronically underfunded. So you flock to authoritarian strong men, in your case, you fell in with authoritarian communists. Or as they’re also referred as, Tankies. If you were a bit wealthier, you’d likely be a Trump supporter.
