  So, you just think they’re all fascists then? What does fascism actually mean to you?

    how about the textbook, which fits perfectly

    utahoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy

      I don’t know about perfectly, I don’t see the hallmark ultranationalism in Biden, and he also seems to care about election results, which makes dictator a little harder to say. I also don’t see force being used to suppress his opposition, since Trump is still free and able to defend himself. Few others, but those are the big ones.

        He didn’t call Biden a fascist; he called the (current-ideology) Republicans fascists and he called Biden a (previous-ideology) Republican.

        In other words, he’s saying that the politicians are shifted one category to the right of where they claim to be.

      Operation Sealion was a German WW2 plan for an invasion of the British Isles. What’s it mean these days?

        (I changed my mind about thinking that’s what you were doing, though, which is why I deleted my comment.)
