    Crenshaw may be a fascist, but it's unsurprisingly easy to outflank him from the right.

      America's right wing is currently in a battle right now as the primaries loom. The battle is:

      Fascists vs. Schizo-Fascists

      With the fascists being the typical right-wing neocon Bush and Cheney era demons, and the Schizo-Fascists representing an entirely new type of demon created by Fox News and Trump who are entirely separated from material reality and have devoted their entire existence to the hatred of an amorphous "other" whose suffering is the only thing which gives them joy.

        Schizo-Fascists

        Alright who started this trend? Are we really blaming everything on mental illness like fucking channers now?

          I definitely don’t like the name, but I do like what it’s pointing at, which is that these people are disconnected from reality. Not only are they evil, they fully believe we are living in a bizarre world of satanic democrat child pedophile cults and white genocide that is simply not real. They’re not just normal evil, they’re also completely delusional.

            You just described fascism twice. The is no observable metric you could use in which Q-anon could be considered more specifically "unhinged" then what the third riech was doing. This is an oxymoron. I shouldn't have to tell you that fascism isn't a coherent ideology on purpose that term does nothing but advance the liberal idea that fascism is something mentally ill people do and can be safely ignored.

              You’re right, I guess it just becomes an issue when you’re describing the normal baseline neoliberal evil Republican as fascist, because you need to be able to distinguish between bland neoliberal evil and delusional, unhinged, disconnected evil.

              Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell are evil, but they understand the reality of the world and use it to further their own evil goals. Marjorie Taylor Greene is totally disconnected from reality and 100% believes we live in a world that is completely different from actual events.

            Have you ever considered that diagnosing your enemies in the same exact way liberal "allies" tend do whenever they have the opportunity is actually a bad thing?

              No because it doesn't accomplish anything and actively obscures our analysis because we have to tiptoe around some 21-year-old dipshits' feelings because they think mental illness is never a part of politics.

                Unless you truly think Fascism is inherently a coherent ideology this new description accomplishes nothing but give you an excuse to be ableist.
