Even if this take wasn’t reductive and worthless, guess what, “fascism” is too abstract an issue to count on the majority of voters to go to the polls for. This is an unavoidable material reality. But you don’t want to work around it, you just want to spur a circle jerk among you and your hivemind followers about how you “get it” and others don’t and you all are the prescient and astute trapped in a world of intellectual lessers.
Fucking morons, I totally get why people go post left if their parents and social circles were all people who talked to each other like this.

My go-to these days is to put on my best “just fell off the turnip truck” voice and ask “Fascism? What’s that?

America doesn’t have a fascist movement per se because their politics have been mainstreamed for decades, baby! And they have no left to crush. It’s pure fascistic liberalism all the way down and your federal political choices are either that or a more confused and braying form of that struggling to find a reactionary populist oppositional angle and failing (the reactionary angle is already in power you can’t meaningfully struggle against it). Which flavor of false consciousness would you like to spend months agonizing over, fellow liberal?
