As a somewhat conservative Christian -- not some frothing-at-the-mouth liberal -- reading this left me feeling vaguely nauseous and made me want to ensure that no amount of my money went into this guy's pockets again. This is not some witch hunt over subtle ideological differences. It's literally the kind of thing that David Duke would have been saying a decade ago.
"Whether or not it is, the repetition of that word by you and your friends is a magic spell that brought that administration into reality."
Based on my observations over the last decade, I vehemently disagree on the direction of causality here.

Using the term "fascist" in that context isn't about cancelling someone, or targetting them unfairly - it's an accurate description of the specific ideology that they're advocating.
