“Slip-sliding into fascism”? Please.
This is the same tired melodramatic trope that’s played out every time anyone even remotely to the right wins an election in the United States.
It should be no surprise that many people, myself included, aren’t interested in “discussion and debate” that amounts to “anyone who is disagrees with me is cartoonishly evil”.

But you don't live in areas where masked armed people disappear people in vans while shouting "ICE", so I guess you don't notice - and as you blank out any discussion of it as "political", as long as it doesn't happen to you personally, you will keep refusing to admit anything is happening.
