Like me he is convinced what they're doing now if full on fascism. He is supported by Mike Godwin, infamous for Godwin's Law, which implies that if you invoke Nazism against your opponent you've already lost the argument. What does Godwin now say about the RepugnaKlan Party?:
"People have asked me my opinion of President Biden's criticism of 'semi-fascism.' Well I can't overstate my disapproval of the inappropriate use of 'semi.'"
Long-time fascism scholar Robert Paxton also previously thought it inappropriate to label Twitler fascist. He too changed his tune after Jan. 6 noting that "Trump's incitement of the invasion of the Capitol on Jan. 6 removes my objection to the fascist label. His open encouragement of civic violence to overturn an election crosses a red line. The label seems not just acceptable but necessary."
That RepugnaKlans either now outright justify the Jan. 6 and continued violence since then, or remain silent about it, is testament to their well-deserved fascist label.
