    I hate to be pedantic but that’s almost exactly the definition of a centrist, someone who collaborates with both sides (even if one of those sides is fascist, genocidal, racist, etc.). And again, I don’t disagree, it’s a bad thing to be for exactly that reason. But it’s also a different thing than being explicitly a right wing authoritarian fascist like Trump is.

      A centrist collaborates with the right and left (mostly the right), but fascists are to the right of the right. They’re far right, which is a distinct grouping from ordinary right-wing ideology. Fascist collaboration requires becoming right-wing, just to meet them halfway.
