15. This is a continuation of the kind of fascism we saw during the 2020 election...

...where the Trumpers were actually attacking big business and corporations using the moronic lingo of the alt-right (corporations are "woke", "cucked", etc.). That's really dangerous, as it shows that the division between the business/financial wing and the, let's say, "cultural" wing of the Republicans is now like the Grand Canyon, and worse yet, they are completely open about it in public. I recall that some of the worst rhetoric (like the Ingraham example here) was at their recent conventions, especially the CPAC ones. It shows that the party has lost control of its base, and they are now completely radicalized. The left should be winning the Trumpers to our side, but good luck with that if they actually believe any of their own rhetoric.
