The word terrorist is pretty functionally useless. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, but a fascist is a fascist. The word might be badly misused from time to time, but the but the whole MAGA enterprise is without question a fascist movement.

You mentioned Joe Rogan elsewhere. If Rogan is interviewing a fascist, then Rogan is a fascist. If Rogan is interviewing a socialist, then he is a socialist. He's just a mid-wit echo chamber who got captured by a right wing audience. I think he finally figured out that he fucked up, but can't figure out how to escape without losing his whole audience.

It's not like he couldn't afford one. He was just chasing the money. His listeners didn't want accurate facts, and neither did his sponsors.
