I am no big supporter of the Democratic party. I am not defending its many faults here.
But is is amusing the mental gymnastics that people will come up with to alter the well established definition of Fascism. Fascism is not the government instituting a policy or law that you don't like or agree with. Like covid mandates. Nor is it politicians getting payoffs by greedy corporations.
It has a specific definition and is always hard right wing dictatorial rulership by force. Sprinkled in with Nationalism, racism and silence of dissension or criticism.
Look it up.
