All the fascist Republicans crawling out from every creek there is. And dammit there's a lot of them.
But it is no wonder, because you've had to be a psychopath for decades to be a Republican, and from psychopath to fascist is not very far.
Joker also pays he's taxes. Unlike real villians.
both parties are republicans bought by the owner class
did not see the republican democrat dnc filled with both parties and celebs basically a gala
and they barred actual democrats out who wanted what the democrats are supposedly for
No they are not both Republican, but they are both right wing.
But only one of them is fascist and anti democracy.
Define fascism, and who won every single county in the 2016 Democrat primary, but lost the state?

Thanks. What causes fascism? And what about the second question?
Good question, how about you tell me what you think causes fascism instead of moving the goalpost with leading questions.

No one won every single county. But Hillary won by 16 points and I guess the New York primary doesn't have an electoral college.
Hmm, sorry. Must've been a brain fart. Meant to ask WV dem primary of 2016. BTW Bernie won every county, but Hillary won the state, because democracy. And the thing that caused fascism in Italy, Germany, and now Israel and America is corporate money in government, aka corruption.
