"Fascist" is more than a mean name that people call Trumpists and billionaire oligarchs. It has an actual meaning despite their (the Trumpists) efforts to cheapen it by calling everyone they don't like a fascist and suggesting that those who correctly label them fascists (the left) are doing the same.
EDIT: calm down, you misread what I wrote.
Trump and his technofascist billionaires are indeed fucking fascist. It’s not diluting the word to call it what it is.
Relax. They are obviously fascists. It is them that had been calling everyone and everything they don't like fascists and claiming that the left is doing it to try to dilute the meaning of the word.
Your comment can be read in the reverse, thanks for clarifying.
NP
I went back and cleared it up because two people took it the opposite way to how I meant it.
