Harris was a liberal. It's the entire reason that she lost 😑

Supporting genocide and deporting immigrants = fascism.

There is no definition of fascism that is exclusively that. Let’s take a list of key features defined by Umberto Eco, who was the expert on fascism and you can decide for yourself if Harris fits that:

  • The cult of tradition
  • The rejection of modernism
  • The cult of action for action’s sake
  • Disagreement is treason
  • Fear of difference
  • Appeal to social frustration
  • The enemy is both strong and weak
  • Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy
  • Contempt for the weak
  • Everybody is educated to become a hero
  • Machismo and weaponry
  • Selective populism
  • Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak

Eco states in the same paper, if you ever care to read it, that fascism will not have all the features, but will have multiple.

In other words skip the first three and you have Harris.
