I think the main problem with shouting fascist is not that it's wrong but that it's ineffective. You have to address what he's actually doing wrong and how you would do better. Of course it's a big problem that he's incredibly good at spreading disinformation and the Democrats are almost completely media illiterate these days.
- I also think Democrats, and especially Lemmy, use it wrong. It's legit the go-to insult for anyone that doesn't join in on the circle-jerk groupthink that Lemmy has going on these days.
  
  The word "fascism" had been used a lot in regards to Trump - not because it's a go-to insult, but because Trump is meeting every characteristic of the word.
  Per 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.
  Dictatorial/autocratic: Issues a flood of executive orders and works through Elon to exercise singular executive power with zero regard for Constitutionality and separation of powers.
  Militarism: Threatens land grabs/annexations of Canada, Greenland, Panama, Gaza
  Forcible suppression of opposition: Lawsuits/investigations/threats against media companies that say things that hurt his feelings
  Belief in a natural social hierarchy: lifelong history of public racist and misogynistic comments
  Subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race: suppression of transgenderism, everything DOGE is shredding, abolition of CFPB, OSHA, etc.
  Strong regimentation of society and the economy: extreme censorship, immediate blame of disasters on DEI (even if only white, cisgender, qualified men were involved see DC airliner/heli crash), tariffs (and threats thereof), intent on destroying the renewable energy sector and forcing fossil fuels

  Ok, but what about the number of people on Lemmy who use it as an insult as soon as they find out someone didn't vote for Harris?
  
  What about the dinosaurs in the hollow earth?
  Neither exist.
  
  Correct. Dinosaurs don't currently exist. And there is no hollow earth.
  
  Whooosh
  
  Not a wooosh at all. I know what you were trying to do. Why don't you just accept that you and I don't agree. My opinion isn't harming you at all.
  
  Ill lay it out for you since you're not understanding.
  the number of people on Lemmy who use it as an insult as soon as they find out someone didn’t vote for Harris?
  Plus
  What about the dinosaurs in the hollow earth? Neither exist.
  Equals
  the number of people on Lemmy who use it as an insult as soon as they find out someone didn’t vote for Harris?
  Does not exist.
  And you agreed.
  
  I don't know what that has to do with calling me a troll and me denying being a troll tho. So I guess you are smarter than me.
  Because I'm not a troll. Even if what I say stuff you don't like. And I didn't say dinosaurs exist in a hollow earth.
  
  You can't be serious. You can't be that dense.
  Neither thing exists. That's the point.
  
  Lemmy is a collective of uninformed Maoists. Probably young and never had any responsibility. Wait till they have a family and need to pay taxes. That exorcises the Marxist out of any sensible creature.
  
  Lemmy's demographics are considerably older than other similar sites like reddit.
  
  Hmm.. source?
  This guy the avarage Lemmy user?
  
  Maoism and marxism are different things.
