Bush II was called a fascist FFS. Back when we still had a court that didn’t believe the president was a king actually and congress would at least occasionally push back on the executive.
For the record, the “weird” meme was years after their rhetoric was deemed objectively fascist by every historical expert on the subject. It wasn’t hyperbole, only people saying, “it can’t happen here, that’s a slippery slope argument”.
And now here we are: SCOTUS-approved racial profiling, concentration camps, disappearing, FCC openly stifling free speech, open attack on sec 230, a budget to benefit oligarchs, pay2win tariffs, rule-by-executive-order. Trump now considers it an act of terrorism to say you are anti-fascism.
To still bend over backwards to say “both sides” at this point is absolutely wild to me.
You mean by stopping Walz from calling Republicans “weird?”

Just because Dubya wasn’t given the freedom to exact fascism, doesn’t mean The Decider didn’t want it.
Ah yes, Bush, the paragon of antifascism
This comment was satire, right?
I’m not gonna go into detail because PhilipTheBucket already did that, but: Yeah, the court only stole the election for him.
You notice how things went from “Oh we just call them weird” to full-on “THEY’RE FASCISTS” in like 0 seconds?

It was probably because Trump was talking and is now acting, like a fascist.
Hell, he’s got a card carrying, open neonazi in his cabinet, that he picked. Twice.
Ie, Gorka.
What would you call the current state of the GOP right now if not fascism?
