> What about calling your political opponents "garbage" and "deplorables" and "fascists"?

I condemn name-calling, but it is not the same as conjuring images of insidious dark forces.

> Thank god the Democrats only have peaceful groups like Antifa and BLM.

I condemn the violence of these groups. As do leading Democrats.

Not sure what you're trying to argue at this point. I've demonstrated a clear fascist narrative from Trump and all you've done is draw poorly conceived similarities.



LOL. You've come up with a couple of examples that apply equally to the Democratic Party.


But... they don't apply. For the reasons I gave :s


Yes, from your left wing perspective I can see why you might think that "It's different when we do it."


You can't see the difference in implication between "garbage" and "enemy from within"?


What about calling people "fascists" and "threats to democracy"?

It's telling that the only candidate to face assassination attempts was Republican.


Yes. Calling an individual a fascist is different to suggesting there are insidious dark forces at work...
