Ah yes. Everything I don't like is fascism.
Ironically, we told you all for years that if you abused terms like fascist, Nazi, racist, etc then they would lose their power and their impact and people would ignore them in future. You were warned what would happen if you cried wolf.
Sometimes there actually is a wolf, though.
MAGA is a right-wing political movement that:
-seeks to return the nation to a mythical superior past, by
-empowering an extraordinary leader who represents the will of the people, in order to
-expel inferior/unworthy ethnicities, and
-expunge left/“Marxist” influences from art and culture.
These are all characteristics of Fascism specifically, not the authoritarian actions that people casually call fascist.
