Even if this take wasn't reductive and worthless, guess what, "fascism" is too abstract an issue to count on the majority of voters to go to the polls for. This is an unavoidable material reality. But you don't want to work around it, you just want to spur a circle jerk among you and your hivemind followers about how you "get it" and others don't and you all are the prescient and astute trapped in a world of intellectual lessers.

Fucking morons, I totally get why people go post left if their parents and social circles were all people who talked to each other like this. If you want to call someone stupid and myopic just say that shit, don't pride yourself on avoiding negative politics then do this grating snark bullshit instead.

    America doesn't have a fascist movement per se because their politics have been mainstreamed for decades, baby! And they have no left to crush. It's pure fascistic liberalism all the way down and your federal political choices are either that or a more confused and braying form of that struggling to find a reactionary populist oppositional angle and failing (the reactionary angle is already in power you can't meaningfully struggle against it). Which flavor of false consciousness would you like to spend months agonizing over, fellow liberal?

      This is legitimately why they have to call the democrats Marxists. They need a stand-in for their historical enemy.
