I don't want to be fair to fascists but the current social context does align leftism with labeling the fascists/GOP as "fascists".
Similarly to how 15 years ago someone shouting "let's go, Brandon!" would make you check that hadn't been teleported into the middle of a little league baseball game versus now where you just check how close the nearest exit is.
That's cause the modern GOP ARE fascists...
I suppose I shouldn't say anything bad about Nazis, either, since the GOP gets compared to Nazis? Give me a break. Maybe instead of listening for dog-whistles, they should look into why those comparisons are being made in the first place.
Do I sound like I care that Nazis are malding? If so, pardon me. I'm just saying it doesn't feel like much of a gotcha to say "they're answering to 'fascists'!" when they're rightfully called "fascist" more than their political party nowadays.
