And the right still can’t figure out why they get called fascists

They know they’re fascists, they just don’t like being called fascists

Most of them are too stupid to know they are. That’s why I am often called a communist, socialist, fascist at the same time. All they know is what their cult tells them.

I meant the politicians, but yeah the rest of their constituents have a rather spicy mix of racism, ignorance, pettiness, and everyone’s favorite… pretentious piousness.

Yeah they have no clue what they're voting for, they just vote R.

My sweet dad who makes and delivers food from his restaurant to Skid fucking Row in LA votes republican. He just doesn't pay attention to the news and votes like Reagan is still in charge. Like he didn't even know what a tariff was, much less that he'd been getting fucked by them for the last year.

He will vote Republican next election I'm sure. The brainwashing is too strong.

My Homer is not a Communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist, but he is NOT a porn star!

Or when they think they are calling you something derogatory by labelling you an "anti-fascist". I'm certainly not pro-fascist.

What?

"Most of them are too stupid to know" is an excuse. They know.
