Fascist regimes have classic, telltale traits, like vilifying immigrants, adopting patriotic symbolism of their nation’s glorious past, embracing a narrow definition of masculinity and family values, and striving for economic and diplomatic self-sufficiency. But just because we also do all of those things does not make us fascists.

This is fantastic writing.

And it’s not just calling us fascists—any defamatory language, like saying we’re “bigots,” or “scumbags,” or “walking sacks of bile who decided to make their self-loathing everyone else’s problem” should earn you a life sentence. Republicans don’t engage in that sort of behavior, and the only way to restore our country to order is to punish those who do.

So, stop claiming that we want to deny you freedom of expression; otherwise, we’ll have no choice but to take that freedom away.

Just outstanding. I'd send it to a MAGAt in my life if I thought there was even a chance they get it.
