There are few things fascists hate as much as antifascist coalitions

calling leftists fascists is the height of political illiteracy.
- Political illiteracy accusations from someone who thinks that Trump didn't try to stage an autocoup? Bold move.
  
  i think if he wanted a coup he could have had one. what he actually wanted was some showmanship and what he got instead was an unruly crowd.
  
  Funny how some vocal self-proclaimed leftists online (who are, of course, too PURE to ever participate in antifascist coalitions) and literal fascists both try to downplay Trump's fascism.
  
  i know what fascism is, and it's what happens every day in congress between two fasces.

  "No fascist, no fascist; you're the fascist!"
  You even act like Trump. Unsurprising, considering I hear many of the same buzzwords too. Would you like to throw in a few 'lib's and 'deep state's to round it all out?
  
  you can ignore the fasces on the wall of the house chamber, but i can't. trying to pigeonhole me with your favorite boogeyman is lazy and transparent.

  I mean, you can ignore that the fasces pre-dates fascism and was originally a symbol of the authority of republics, as opposed to the authority of monarchs and aristocracies, but go off, I guess.
  
  the fasces in the house were hung during the rise of fascism in europe. we are a fascist country.

  You're not even trying, are you? Either that or you buy into cheap troll farm dreck with absolute credulity. The House has used fasces since 1789, and it's been a popular symbol in the nation's iconography since the start.
  
  i just misremembered: it's the department of "justice" that hung them ... because we are fucking fascists
