1) admit that #Trump isn't a fascist
2) keep pretending that #Trump is a fascist
I suspect they'll pick option 2. The danger in that choice is it'll dupe people into thinking we're living in a state of #Fascism, and when people start to notice that a #Trump presidency is actually pretty nice, they'll assume that #Fascism is actually a good thing, and if someone who's actually fascist says "hey vote for me I'm a fascist" people who liked #Trump's second term will vote that fascist into office.
@realcaseyrollins I doubt very seriously that anyone will run on "hey vote for me I'm a fascist". It is far more likely they will say "I'm a Trump republican".

@HiroProtagonist At some point in the future, yes someone will do that
Under current verbal standards I would comfortably vote for a “fascist”
@realcaseyrollins
@leyonhjelm Yeah, yeah. The point I'm making is that politicians will say what THEY think will get them elected. "Trump" has a lot more meme energy than "fascist". @realcaseyrollins
I think things are improving for public perception of fascism and Nazism as a result of leftist tantrums and demands
@realcaseyrollins
People are ready to admit that whether we like their methods or not, Hitler and the Confederates were right about diversity being unworkable.
However, we want some better way forward that does not involve slavery, totalitarianism, concentration camps, and all that other stupid stuff.

No we don’t. I want to put them in camps. Especially trannies.

I think this is counter-productive.
Without free transition surgery from socialized medicine, the transsexualism trend naturally fades to background levels.
@leyonhjelm For the concepts behind the words maybe. But there's a vast gulf between words having the power to destroy via a smear and words not only losing that ability due to overuse but gaining positive traction to the extent that a politician can successfully campaign with them. @realcaseyrollins
@amerika @leyonhjelm @HiroProtagonist The diversity debate has nothing to do with #Fascism
