  • Not based in reality

    These people have no idea what actual fascism is. They use the word as an umbrella term for anyone and anything not aligned with their idea. Support the first amendment in America for all opinions like immigration and vax views… FASCIST! Ban them and silence them (but their actual fascism doesn’t count as fascism because they are doing it)

    Have a conversation with someone you disagree with. Don’t be cowards.
