5. Agree. Edmund Burke was a conservative, an honest, deep-thinking conservative

Trump's MAGA is Fascist at its roots.

The problem, unfortunately, is that the Fascist media would use our use of "Fascist" as some kind of "proof" that we, not they, are the radical extremists. The fuc*ing fascists can still pretend to be shocked, I tells ya, shocked that any Liberal-Communist would call them what they are in public.

But I cannot and will not use the term "conservative" to characterize these bastards. I like the term MAGA as more clearly representing the American brand of what destroyed Germany and Italy in the 20's through 40's. It is, after all, a term the Fascist Right embraces -- so they can't pretend shock and horror at the Liberal use of it to identify them --, but it is one that one that also clearly reeks of the stink of "Fascist" -- with Nazi at its not distant fringes.

I think Mr. Burke would accept it, with a conservative smile.
