Same with racist. Facist. Nazi. Transphobe. I even have to fight back rolling my eyes at the word "rape."
All of it, all of it, completely lost impact. Can't help but think it's some sort of larger strategy of some kind, and those who spew these words like candy are little unaware chess players leading to their own demise.
Oh look... a fascist desperately hoping we forget what the term fascist means.
Yeah... not going to happen.
Lol, proving my point, I see.
I'm going to assume this is not the first time you have had your fascist sympathies pointed out to you?
