    Please provide some examples.

    I’m very interested in seeing the Democrats who are making overwhelming displays of nationalism that attract actual fascists (which democratic rallies are full of Nazi t-shirts and waving Nazi flags?).

    Which Democrats are making thinly-veiled threats of genocide, demonising marginalised groups, and openly calling for concentration camps?

    Do you have examples of Democrats banning books and passing laws that outlaw the teaching of objective history and science? Or at least calling objective reporting fake news, as they funnel their supporters to debunked tabloid outlets instead?

    Which Democrats are pushing their religion as the only true authority? Where are Democrats trying to force their religion into social and legal policy?

    Which Democrats have been attacking education and the arts as a corrupting and demonic influence on society? Which of them have called for legislation to stop the subversive influence of Sesame Street and Mr Potato head, as a random and hypothetical example?

    I’d also love examples of Democrats trying to criminalise women’s rights, to the point that women are turned into walking coffins.

    Which Democrats have vowed to jail their political opponents?

    Finally, which Democrats have refused to concede elections, claiming they’re rigged and false? Which have tried to undermine public trust in democracy, to the point of telling people voting is pointless?

    If you’re going to make a claim like that, you need to be able to back it up with evidence. I can do that for every single point of fascism that my questions are obviously based upon, and I’ll bet you can anticipate my examples without me needing to link them. It’s all very public and open in the GOP.

    Final question: does your claim come from an understanding of real fascism, or are you using ‘fascism’ to mean ‘things I don’t like’.

    One of those is wrong but relatively benign, and the other always leads to genocide.
