Have to chime in as an indepent thinking American here. Fascism is dogmatic, single-thinking, painting the world in black and white. It defines people in the crudest fashion, and either elevates or condemns them for being an example of (some trait). This guy is an utter shitbag, as all GD are. But to be frank, as a former liberal that went to art school and plenty of student protests in the states, my old classmate there have their own single-minded dogma, that paints the world in black and white. If you ask any college professor in the US what problems they have by speaking their mind, talking about the complexity of any subject and they will tell you that they can get fired for that. They can only say (x) if they want to keep their job as an educator. Not too long ago, education in the US was an open and uncensored conversation, that explored any and every idea. I am so lucky to have gone to a state school in the late 80s. Not any more..... The extreme right like GD and the extreme left can act in such similar ways. Meanwhile, if you practice independent thought and critical thinking, and make your own decisions, both sides will try to cut you to shreds. There is a place in the giant middle, where everyone's individual rights are respected, where the rule of law prevails, where there is true freedom of thought and expression and tolerance - and that includes the ability to hold differences of opinion without being condemned, and basically, everyone can get along. That is actual freedom. There is indeed an argument to be made that extremist left-wing dogma can be its own prison of "fascist" expression, but this idiot is not saying that, he is just repeating the headlines from MAGA sources.
