As I’m sure many of you have noticed, every leftist today is LARPing like they honestly believe they are storming the beach at Normandy.
Fascist this, fascism that.
Nazi this, nazi that.
Its ok to call every Trump supporter a nazi.
Its ok to punch a nazi
All Republicans are racists
Racists are fascist nazis
Not dating trans gendered people is transphobic

Anyone who went to DC on the 6th is a violent, fascist, traitor who is a threat to the illusion of democracy and therefore deserves the death penalty
Nevermind those two huge fascist symbols on the wall behind Nancy Pelosi
Can we have an honest conversation about what fascism is, and what fascism is not?
I once heard that fascism is “the rule of law”, as opposed to democracy, which is “mob rule”
“Rule of law” and “law and order” are fascist, racist dog whistles.
“Tyranny of the majority” is just the natural consequence of any good democracy.
Currently, the duckduckgo definition of fascism is
n. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
n. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
n. a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Other definitions try to define it as a right-wing phenomenon

Im particularly interested in learning about specific examples of how leftist actions match the description of fascism.
i can't imagine anything more sexist or racist than appointing someone as a leader or giving someone a job based on race or sex. it is saying that you aren't the most qualified or the best person for the job but we have a quota to fill.
Fascism is essentially identity politics. The Germans scapegoated the Jews just like the Democrats scapegoat white cis males, and before that they were scapegoating black men.
There are no good or evil races. Nobody chooses their own race or sexual preferences, so if your ideology is built upon such ideas then you might just be a fascist, particularly so if your actions and words facilitate oppression or ill will towards any other biological demographic.
The Squad is the epitome of fascism if we are being honest, and so are most of the rest of the Democrats, and many of the Republicans are fascists as well.
Fascism is strong in America, especially among those who feel most comfortable calling others fascists.
The similarities between today and pre-Nazi Germany are astounding. It's not scapegoating if it's true. They may hide behind ideologies, think tanks, and corporations, but it usually doesn't take much research to find the same cause every time.
I wanted to do a meme of contradictions in terms, as motivational or motto phrases:.
