We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.

      The same thing happened to terrorist, a term that became overused and dead during the IWoT and yet the Trump regime is still trying to leverage that word against his political enemies.

      For my own arguments, I use alternatives to fascist or get specific, such as calling it an autocratic regime that uses fascist rhetoric to justify state violence. That way my readers know I’m talking seriously about a serious thing.

        One can argue that the patriot act is fascistic legislation.

          You should think about what Liberalism actually is and see if you agree with any of it

            I agree with Wikipedias definition but the US still needs more than 2 parties

              The Wikipedia page for neoliberalism has more thorough real-world context for liberalism as it is applied today.

          Well, technically Biden only authored the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995, not the patriot act. But the proposals in his bill were recycled into the patriot act.
