It’s not about “fascists”. That’s your politics talking. It’s about violence. And that bail fund? That was Kamala Harris.

No, it's the literal definition of "fascism": > Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. [0] This is what Trump wants. This is why he's tried to overturn a democratically held election. This is why he's incited his followers to riot. You seem to be assuming I'm a Democrat. I am not. BTW, I love how you've disingenuously implied Harris funded bail for the DC protesters. She did not. It was for the BLM protestors, who, are clearly not fascist, if you look at the definition. --- [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism#Definitions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism#Definitions

  Again, I’m not interested in the political flame war. You want to make it solely about the right, and the term fascist is thrown around against many on the right regardless of how non-fascist they may be, often times immediately followed by violently attacking them on the street. I didn’t say Harris funded bail for the DC protestors on the 6th. In fact, Harris funded bail for rioters who were much more violent than what we saw on the 6th. The BLM riots caused over $2 billion in property damage, killed dozen of people, and maimed hundreds. Police officers, and Federal courthouses were a notable target. Also the Whitehouse on at least one occasion.

    It's not a "political flame war." For the past 4 years, we have had an ultra-right wing, authoritarian, nationalist president in the White House. That's literally the definition of "fascist." > In fact, Harris funded bail for rioters who were much more violent than what we saw on the 6th. The BLM riots caused over $2 billion in property damage, killed dozen of people, and maimed hundreds. Police officers, and Federal courthouses were a notable target. Also the Whitehouse on at least one occasion. And, for that, I give her credit. While the casualties are regrettable, I'm not sure why you even mention them here. Property damage? Pffft. Who cares? That's what insurance is for.
