If you think this is on accident, then you don't understand Texas #fascism.
I love that someone always downvotes the GOP being called out as fascist but will never argue the point.
They're absolutely fascists. Their enemies are the same as the Nazis: sexual, ethnic, and religious minorities & leftists. They want to dominate an oppressive monoculture that harkens back to a fictional past. Anyone denying that they're fascists either doesn't understand what that means or is lying.
Great thing about Kbin is you can see who that is. Just going to say I see one or two names fairly regularly.
Edit: LOL, unsurprisingly the same guy upvoted this comment from HazDaz.
This comment is gold.
Also, love the "men's rights" shit they post. It all makes sense.
Indeed. Also ultra nationalism, religiosity, authoritarianism, ...
Most people don’t think of the meaning of fascist beyond a generic pejorative.
Arguably (IMO) there are far too many established uses of the word for anyone to "Well ackshully..." about it. :-)

You think fascists care about what some academic considers fascism?
No? Is this a trick question?
