Harris and Democrats Lose Their Reluctance to Call Trump a Fascist

PSA: Fascists and communists hate each other. Makes sense Republicans would hate communism so much.

I'm a Canadian who just finished a business trip to the Midwestern US.

I was amazed at the number of signs for Republicans imploring voters to save America from communism by voting R.

I think it's beyond time that Democrats call them fascists, because Republicans fucking are, especially since the other common signs I saw talked about the radical groomer trams agenda.

Well he supports Nazis and wants to be a dictator on day one. Kind of hard not to call him a fascist.

Better late than never.

And since the election is in two and a half weeks, while the average American's goldfish political memory is like 3 weeks, perfect time to be plastering it everywhere.

I find that calling a thing what it actually is reduces the need to go outside of the confines of reality to describe it accurately.

I call Trump a fascist because he fits the definition perfectly. If he didn’t, I’d call him something else.

I don't think that word means much beyond "bad guy who wants to oppress you" to the average American today, although using it to describe a political opponent would have been outrageous just a few presidential elections ago. Trump has been using it for a while without any backlash.

“Every time the radical left, Democrats, Marxists, communists and fascists indict me, I considered it a great badge of honor,” Mr. Trump said in February, and not for the last time.

Is there anyone whose mind isn't already made up who will be swayed by the word "fascism"? That's not a rhetorical question. So much of what I see from both parties sounds like preaching to the choir but I genuinely don't know what they could say that wouldn't sound like that.

Only took them eight years.

Longer, if you count his time as a simple C-List celebrity
