You know, I’d laugh if it wasn’t so depressing how many will believe it yet not research fascism or reflect on how much fun they had skipping that topic in school.
The Republican use of the “fascist” accusation is entirely about muddying the waters to imply it’s just meaningless political noise. Same way “fake news” followed people rightfully pointing out that conservatives were getting actual fake news.
Or the GQO calling peaceful protests about Gaza insurrections and exactly the same as Jan 6th. Fascism needs to muddy the waters to drum up as much support as possible. Keep people dumb and angry.

It’s always projection. Always.
And a lot of the ones projecting know damn well what they’re doing: accuse your enemy of doing the things you’re doing (or planning to do).
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump campaign released an ad campaign tomorrow that looked like this with no hint of irony:
