"They get mad at me when I say that. Oh, he's not supposed to say that, they say. That the fascists did some nice things. No, he shouldn't say that. But I say it. I say it, I do. I've heard some very good things about the fascists. Very good things. But they don't want me to say that."

in WW2, along hundreds of thousands of others, to assure that the United States would continue on the course to a more perfect union. We need to cut the head off the snake of American fascism and stomp it in the dirt.

Calling out fascism is precisely what the First Amendment is for.

...very similar.
If you don't want to be called a fascist, quit being a fascist.
Adam & I, finally are in total agreement. He was my congressman and we agreed on almost nothing.
This, we agree upon.
We can call a fascist a fascist without compunction.
It's particularly rich hearing this whining from the crowd who ran on the slogan "Fuck Your Feelings".
