The same way they have been in denial until now. Why did you wait for trump to comes to terms with it?

    Before we elected Trump, the fascism was still nascent. Ur-Fascism as Eco called it.

    It's dishonest to pretend that this is the same level of fascism that we've been experiencing for decades. It's not. Trump and the Heritage Foundation kicked it into overdrive.

    You know what's dishonest? Not acknowledging most governments have been fascists for decades.

    Words have meanings... Maybe take like 5 mins to look into the things I referenced.

    Like do you maybe not know what "nascent" means?

    Read "Ur-Fascism" by Umberto Eco if you want to understand my point from someone who lived through it in Italy. It's like 8 pages long.
