(23,003 posts)43. Repugs arae framing this the same, but calling us fascists
I got into a contentious conversation with a poster on WaPo claiming that left wingers are fascists. I reminded him that Hitler totally supported large corporations while taking away everyone else's rights, just like his repug party does. He ended regulations on them, just like his party does and uses the party to torture and kill minorities, just like his party. Fascists are definitely ring wingers, so now like drumpf, they are accusing us of the tactics they use and even trying to call us by their names, fascists.

I read the authoritarians quite a while ago, but I didn't know about the addition.
