    and the GOprojection continues…

    i havent seen a lot of mainstream articles pointing out the obvious, ‘most conservatives incapable of defining fascism’

    not that a lot of non-conservatives can either, but they arent the projectionists attempting to sway opinion.

        Though the word they are saying might share the same root as fascist. The Latin word fascis referred to a bundle of sticks and as French developed most s sounds before another consonant were dropped (status > etat, schola > ecole). Also c to g and vice versa is a common sound change. The French ruled England for a while and the word made its way into English then.

        I don’t know if you cared about any of that but I do think it’s a funny name that those homophobes gave themselves
