If I seem familiar, it's because I had a conservative radio show (a real one, not a podcast) in Las Vegas for a few years. I've been doxxed and redoxxed, and paid my dues. I was also a casino manager, and a heavy investor in LV downtown projects.
Most people have no clue what Fascism actually is, or how it works. Most people still believe WW2 propaganda. Fascism has nothing to do with totalitarianism, oppression, or genocide. Fascists are not bullies. Fascism goes back to Ancient Rome, and before. Fascism was battling Marxism and Communism long before anyone heard of Hitler, and long before America came to the party and (very wrongly) defended the Commies.
