        It was wild to me that none of the conservatives I know connected the dots. If the person is railing against the anti fascists… what the fuck are they?

          well obviously anti-fa are deep state operatives controlled by HH (Hillary and Hunter),so therefore they are the actual fascists and they also faked a trump rally on Jan 6 and tried to overturn the election in favor of trump.

        Maybe not always (This “always” depends very much on your age). Basically, Republican move downhill from a normal party to a fascist MAGA-head group started with Nixon, and got accellerated with Reagan. But most people nowadays don’t even remember the times when the GOP had been a normal party capable of doing politics with Democrats and the people, and not just against them.

          I’ll do you one better. Joe McCarthy was the one who started American conservatism down the road of extremism and paranoid conspiracy theories instead of policy.
