This is democrank's most important point. We must accept that fascism is back and we must fight it. AGAIN
We can start by calling out fascism by name every time we see it.
Cops beating Americans is fascism.
Schools "burning" books is fascism.
Radical right wing republicans are fascist.
Shooting transformers is fascist terrorism.
white supremacist are fascist.
We have to call it fascism. We must push back!
