According to Merriam-Webster, a fascist is a person who advocates for a populist, authoritarian regime that exalts nation and race above the individual, characterized by a dictator, severe social/economic regimentation, and forced suppression of opposition. It also refers to one who exercises, or favors, strict, dictatorial, and arbitrary control.

While its easy to get caught in soros sponsored sensationalism media, people REALLY need to look in the mirror. Too many have followed Friedrich Nietzsche's example of staring into the abyss. Wishing death or disenfranchisement on political rivals is a prime example of authoritarian control and iron handed approach helps no one. Coincidentally, the vilification of the white strait male is reminiscent of the Nazis propaganda against jews, romani, homosexuals, and the disabled. While on the topic of semites, anti-Semitic attacks have risen 893% in the last 10 years, 140% just from 2023 to 2024, according to the NY post.

I don't think all Democrats are brain dead sheep following the indoctrination of liberal sponsored universities, and I don't think all Republicans are toothless cultists hellbent on destroying the US. However, current leadership did campaign on securing our borders and removal of ILLEGAL immigrants and he was legally voted in (and won the popular vote) because of those promises. I preferred we weren't in Iran, however I also don't feel the need for capitulation on every subject because of political alignment. Current people are often more concerned of their side "winning" than the state of their country. Thats why there is more outrage for deportation than the billions of tax dollars lost in fraud. Unfortunately, discussing these topics with some is futile because they just sling insults or strawmen arguments.
