    You are correct of course. As has played out historically, the liberals have been utterly ineffective at combating the rise of fascism.

    It was not until what, about 12 to 6 ish months ago that finally, you could actually tell a liberal that Trump and the Republicans /are fascists/ without a bunch of hoity toity himming and hawing about tone policing and catastrophizing accusations.
