Charlie Kirk shot in Utah

Since that is not what "fascism" means in modern usage, the phrase "actual fascists" does not have an objective meaning.

That doesn't follow in the slightest. Just because a word is being used metaphorically does not mean that it has no consistent definition. I would agree that it hss no objective definition, as you say, but that is true of every word ever devised, hence why and how there are 6200 human mutually unintelligible human languages. Objectivity is not on the table, only communication or miscommunication.

Dude, do you know how metaphors even work?

Which further confirms my suspicions that Bomb#20 and their ilk are far less skeptical of bullshit being promoted by their own side

It's not our own side. That's where you and those like you consistently go awry, and you absolutely refuse to listen to what is actually being said. Neother Bomb#20 nor I nor, to the best of my knowledge Derec and Tswizzle, are Republicans. None of us have any particularly allegiance to Republicans, nor to conservatives. What we do all share is a LACK OF FAITH IN PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGIES.

For all intents, you're working in an extremely black and white world view. And in your all or nothing approach, you make the mistake of believing that if we aren't staunch catholics, we must therefore be staunch pagans. In truth, we're none of them. I don't adhere to ANY political philosophy, nor do I think Bomb#20 does either. I believe that Derec is historically a bit more on the Democrat side, albeit not on every issue. I think the same is true of Tswizzle, but I'm less certain of that. At the end of the day, the only political view I'd say we four have in common is that progressivism is short-sighted, ineffectual, and in application does harm to far more people than it helps, and is unsustainable.

So, TSwizzle is making up stuff again,

Link to post(s) of mine where I have made something up.

Yes. Do you? Metaphors are not without meaning.

If you have no real political philosophy and do not adhere to a party, but the only thing you are certain of is that you reject social progress, then you are political conservative whether or not you call yourself one.

You know what conservatives share with you? "Lack of faith in progressive ideologies". What distinguishes you from conservatives exactly? Because so far I've only seen your beliefs lining up with "conservative values".

Wow, these TPUSA people are real pieces of work. Sending busloads of people to J6, some of whom engaged in violence....because they were tricked by the TPUSA propaganda that Kirk and others spouted...then TPUSA made a mockery out of things, calling J6 insurrectionists "hostages." This is one of their leaders:

The multiple levels of projection over election fraud, vote fraud, vote rigging, fascism calling, are so nested it is like the movie Inception.
