So, literally a fascist in every sense.
I mean, yeah - we know. It’s bad. Our sweet old aunts and the neighbor who waves hello are all supporting this, even if they don’t or won’t know it. Heck some of the most marginalized and wronged people in society support this “right-wing”, “conservative” “ideology”.
I think the reasons why they do have everything to do with the media by which they would otherwise learn they do not. This propaganda is hitting society right in the göebbels.
Not sure anyone should be running Julius Caesar as a poster child for a political movement given that his ended with a bunch of people literally stabbing him in the back.

Do you think any of these idiots have thought that far ahead?
Right wingers: Emperors are cool, full stop.
I love how these Rabid Right™ fucksticks rant about the "radical left" and then basically list things that amount to not being a total fucking asshole.
Regressivism is sick and twisted, and I really wished humanity didn't consist of quite so many of these fucked up people.
Part of it is projection. Part is them assuming that if they want to do X, then the other side must be doing it even more. (Which they also use to excuse doing X.)

And those fucks have the nerve to call themselves patriots.
As the fascist ideology demands, only the subversion and destruction of democracy can save it.
No one around me agrees with me. Surely, it must be literally everything else that’s wrong.
sigh, i gotta deal with this every day with my parents lmao
i’m exhausted
My father isn't quite "Red Caesar," but he recently told me that his dream ticket is Trump and RFK Jr. 🤦♂️
The sad part is that, when I carefully avoid buzzwords, he'll actually agree with me on things. Say Medicare For All and he'll rant about how that's socialism. However, when he praises Medicare, he'll sometimes wonder why more people can't sign up for it. (Like, maybe allow All to get Medicare?)
If you say Defund the Police (a slogan I think is stupid), he'll rant about lawlessness and crime. But talk about the specific issues and he'll agree that the police unions have too much power, police officers who abuse their positions should be fired - not rehired one precinct over - and that police should have more training so that they don't act like the first thing to do is whip out their gun and open fire.
It's like he comes close to understanding why Progressiveism is good, but then immediately slides back into MAGA-land.
That’s propaganda-driven cult behavior.
It’s a serious, like, planet-about-to-kill-us-serious, problem
Time to Caesarean the Republican party.
