    I’m not saying you’re intentionally ignorant and I know this is a lot of words to read, but…

    For any potential commenters who don’t understand, fascism isn’t when politically motivated threats of physical violence, it’s when far-right-wing,

    Which party has more objectively conservative views?

    ultra-nationalist,

    Which party literally has a group called the Proud Boys? Which party tends to manipulate the American flag for all their causes i.e. Thin blue line? Which party thinks America is strictly for Americans and anyone outside our borders is somehow undesirable?

    centralized autocracy,

    Autocracy is a system of government in which absolute power is held by the ruler, known as an autocrat.

    Which party idolizes their leader, flies flags with his name on it, wears his slogan on their clothes? Which party seems to think that anything their leader says is the truth, anyone who disagrees is a liar (fake news, alternative facts)? Which party literally tried to force their leader into power despite losing the election.

    belief in and support of social hierarchies, strong regimentation of society and the economy,

    Which party keeps reducing and eliminating social benefits because if you’re of a lower economic status, you somehow deserve less? Suggesting that the minimum wage shouldn’t be increased? And conversely, which party seems to think that billionaires deserve to have that money because they’re somehow smarter or work harder?

    and politically motivated threats of physical violence

    Which party had a noose hanging outside the capitol on January 6th?
