The GOP are not trying to install a fascist regime. Anyone who honestly believes this tired lie has no idea on what fascism is, or they’re just blowing a dog whistle at something they don’t like.Conservatism doesn't belong in the 21st century, tbh.
When people use the terms “radical left” and “intolerant left” this is what they mean right here. People who do not tolerate views outside of their own and anyone who perpetuates those views must be stopped. One way or another. Honestly this rising majority stance on the left regarding opposing views (from social conservatives to centrists) has the term “horseshoe effect” ricocheting around in my mind.
The worst part is the pushed illusion of “shining magnanimity” and “collective tolerance” among those who are in this camp all while slinging mud.What's wrong with letting black and LGBT people exist without getting lynched?
Outside of far-right extremists this isn’t a thing. This doesn’t even make up 15-20% of modern social conservatives. The classic folly of painting an entire canvas with one broad brush and one color of paint.
Honestly I think the biggest problem in American Politics, is that both the right and left can be toxic towards you depending on who you vote for.
You vote for Republicans? You get called a racist and a fascist.
You vote for Democrats? You get called a communist soyboy.
