So, if Republicans start calling Democrats "Communists," can we call them "Fascists?"

[MineralMan]

I mean, wouldn't that make sense?

Just asking...

[trev]

1. I already do. nt

[G_j]

2. Yes

only difference is, it’s true.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Nazi is a good name too...nt

[MoonchildCA]

4. The only difference being, we are far from Communists,

but they actually are Fascists.

[LanternWaste]

5. Sure.

Sure. But some self-righteous apostle of pretense may end up scolding you with, "we're better than that..."

Just answering...

[maxsolomon]

6. tit for tat, now everyone's in the mud

and we're "just as bad". president rapist troll wins.

except, this actually is ur-fascism. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/

12. Taking the high road doesn't work. Then they say were weak

Or spineless, they win either way. Unless we get right in the mud with them, then we have a shot.

[KPN]

7. Absolutely, and we should. But I don't think it

will affect them or hurt them. They are proud fascists.

[Voltaire2]

8. They would be lying.

But we would be telling the truth.

[Meadowoak]

14. Nobody cares anymore, our country has turned into one big

Jerry Springer show. People just want to see a good fight.

[rampartc]

9. sure, and we would be correct

but it would not stick. in the republican fantasy the fascists were liberals.

I know, I know, but that is the level of stupid we are up against.

[deminks]

10. I call them fat shits. Double entendre.

[muntrv]

11. Call them Nazis.

[Hortensis]

13. No! Pointing out fascistic actions and why they are is important, though.

Also, maybe toss in some mourning for the loss of the Grand Old Party that would never have behaved this way.

Many of their hard-right leaders were every bit as corrupt and fascistic as they could get away with, of course, and there've always been plenty of wannabe fascists on the hard right, but RW voters need to identify with and believe in a higher standard. Hell, any standard.

[Mc Mike]

15. I'm gonna go ahead and call them nazis, without any additional permission.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I do.

[Bettie]

17. Seems like that would only be fair

and it sounds slightly nicer than Nazis.

[Thomas Hurt]

18. I call them fascists, christofascists, and then Pence, who is a christofascist theocrat.

[ananda]

19. Well, since they ARE fascists ...

... and have been for quite a while ....

[roamer65]

20. I already have been calling them fascist.

Call them what they are.

[RKP5637]

21. Fascist Terrorists!!! n/t

[brush]

22. Graham is such a kiss ass fool. A kinda out of date one too. He skipped back a couple...

of generations of insults to come up with "a bunch of communists."

What are we back in the McCarthy era? Who turned the clock back to the 50s?

The de rigueur othering, racist insult of the day is "socialist" or "terrorist" or "Muslim" or "illegal alien" if you're trying to be nice.

We all know they wanna go with the "n-word" so bad they can taste it. And trump probably will before it's all over with.
