Fascism is anything Democrats don't like

One would think the Democrats might have learned from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 mistake and avoided insulting half the voters they’re supposed to win over as stupid, undemocratic buffoons. But that would require them to first stop thinking of half the electorate as morons who have a soft spot for totalitarianism — which is, apparently, too much to ask.
President Joe Biden (good ole’ Uncle Joe, remember him? The guy who promised to restore civility and decency and normalcy to the Oval Office?) wants you to know you’re a “semi-fascist” if you voted for former President Donald Trump instead of him.
It’s not clear whether Biden actually knows what fascism is since, these days, he can’t be relied upon to know whose hand he shook within a two-minute time frame. But this is the definition he’s running with: “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy,” he said on Thursday. “It’s not just Trump; it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”
“I respect conservative Republicans,” Biden added. “I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”
When asked to explain what Biden meant by “semi-fascism,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre went a step further and attributed the label to the entire Republican Party.
"So what we're seeing from Republicans, and what we have seen from Republicans these past several years is that they are attacking our democracy,” she told CNN. “They are taking away our freedom. And they are trying to put on the chopping blocks Medicare and Social Security. That's what we are seeing … and that is what we are trying to prevent.”
