As the fascist ideology demands, only the subversion and destruction of democracy can save it.

No one around me agrees with me. Surely, it must be literally everything else that’s wrong.

My father isn’t quite “Red Caesar,” but he recently told me that his dream ticket is Trump and RFK Jr. 🤦‍♂️

The sad part is that, when I carefully avoid buzzwords, he’ll actually agree with me on things. Say Medicare For All and he’ll rant about how that’s socialism. However, when he praises Medicare, he’ll sometimes wonder why more people can’t sign up for it. (Like, maybe allow All to get Medicare?)

If you say Defund the Police (a slogan I think is stupid), he’ll rant about lawlessness and crime. But talk about the specific issues and he’ll agree that the police unions have too much power, police officers who abuse their positions should be fired - not rehired one precinct over - and that police should have more training so that they don’t act like the first thing to do is whip out their gun and open fire.

It’s like he comes close to understanding why Progressiveism is good, but then immediately slides back into MAGA-land.

That’s propaganda-driven cult behavior.

It’s a serious, like, planet-about-to-kill-us-serious, problem

It’s as much of a “code” as claiming Obama was born in Kenya or chanting “let’s go Brandon;” it’s completely obvious what they’re going for, but they think they’re being clever.

Anyone currently supporting the GOP is either a neo-fascist or is comfortable in bed with them (which makes them actual neo-fascists). “Red Caesarism” is about getting people comfortable with that fact.

Asking for a repeat of a republic being torn down by a literal dictator. Might as well call it “Red Palpatine” since subtlety is out the window

I’d rather a decades-late abortion for them, to be honest.
