DeSantis' military record doesn't mean sh*t because the man is straight up mobbed up fascist to the marrow of his bones
You use the word "fascist" the same way Republicans use "socialist".
With little regard for what it means and none for the man you use it to describe.
But I guess "fascist" is the new blue anon catchphrase for everyone who disagrees with them.
All that's needed is to take the accepted "14 Points of Fascism" and apply the test to him.
The Fourteen Points of Fascism....
---It's easy to wave hands and dismiss this as a Lefty mirror image of the knee-jerk reactionary rhetoric of the Right until you apply the litmus test.
Well? How many of the above does Ron DeSanti score?
I completely agree. Establish the standard, then
apply the facts to that standard. There are other matrices to describe Fascism, but this is a pretty good one. I note that it was published well before the advent of Trump, so there is no argument it wasn't a neutral set of considerations.
This is a discussion of rhetoric. I am, quite frankly, tired of the lazy approach of saying "both sides do
it", without specifying what that "it" is.
A legitimate argument can be made that "both sides" (whatever that means) applies pejorative labels willy-nilly. But the response is
not "they both do it", but to dig into the
realities.
