I believe I called Trump and Musk fascists. Why other Republicans support them is beyond me.
From Wikipedia: "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism, fascism is at the far right of the traditional left–right spectrum."
They don't check all of the boxes (yet) but they are moving in that direction.
Yes, Trump and Musk are moving toward fascism. So are the Democrats.
