Ah yes, that ever-meaningful distinction between actual fascists and those who merely condone fascism. As I recall, that excuse went over well at Nuremberg.
"If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, then it is a table with 11 Nazis sitting at it." >

"Do they still believe in democracy? A faction in the GOP has decided that they don't, and now supports authoritarianism, or the F-word."

Everyone who pays attention knows the conservatives would be more than happy to take us back to the 50's politically. This is the same American exceptionalist crap that conservatives use, just peddled to Democrats. Widespread democracy in the U.S. has not been the norm for most of our history. It's new, and still needs more work. I'm so sick of this garbage being peddled. We are not special. There's more work to do.
Also,
"Right after Zelenskyy's speech to Congress, Tucker Carlson of Fox News described him as a "Ukrainian strip club manager" and falsely said that Ukraine had been the aggressor, portraying Putin as the victim of a Ukrainian plot to "topple the Russian government." He also echoed the antisemitic talking points the Russian government has deployed against Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, by accusing him of waging "ongoing war against Christianity."
When Tucker Carlson says something fashy, that's not a rift. That's just conservatives. >

It's frightening that people choose to watch Tucker Carlson. He is so despicable I can't watch clips for a few minutes. >

They're all actual fascists. The only difference is who's willing to hide it till they seize power. >

Yep.
