You're exactly right. If people on the left believe that Trump is a dangerous fascist, they will behave accordingly. The fact that journalists feel comfortable lying and ordinary people feel comfortable harassing ICE agents (and then are SHOCKED when bad things happen, even if those things are just them being manhandled or arrested) indicate that these people don't actually believe that Trump is a dangerous fascist, or at least that they're using the term rather flexibly... as they have for many years now.
Remember: George W. Bush was a 'fascist' too... until he began publicly criticizing Donald Trump. So were the Cheneys. This isn't an objective claim about reality. It's either disingenuous tactical language, or emotional hysteria.
“Being a victim does not excuse you from the responsibility for your actions”. Love this! Well said! I’ve been trying to articulate this for ages, and you’ve done it for me.
" If a couple of unarmed lesbians could end fascism, World War II could have been ended by Eleanor Roosevelt and one of her female pals." 😆
But by helping build the UN framework, did they inadvertently lead to Western nations war against their own people? 🤔
You'll have to explain "war against their own people."
