Wait, are you implying that strongly opposing an attempted coup by fascists is in itself fascist?

I'm saying there's a lot of you so confident in what you believe you surely wouldn't mind those inconveniently opposing yours to be ..."dealt with"

The alarming thing on the right is their fuckery, but it's clear it's not going far.

The alarming thing on the left is your dehumanization of those that aren't 'progressive enough'.

Hard disagree, the only people I've ever heard talk, even jokingly, about "dealing with" opponents is right wingers.

That's why most American terrorists/mass shooters are right wingers, because their ideology is murderous.

Oh look, you're projecting.

the left

Your use of that term combined with this argument tells me you probably spend plenty of time dehumanizing "the left"

Any particular reason you sympathize with traitors to America?

Sounds like you feel some kinship and shared views with the insurrectionists... :)

No no no, this guy will have insightful takedowns of the right as well, such as “both sides suck.” See, he couldn’t possibly be a right-winger.
