    Trump and the far-right regularly just sling politically charged insults around so Mamdini calling Trump a Fascist is, to them, just part of Zorahn’s political performance using aggressive politically charged language to stirr up his voter base; because that’s what Trump and the far-right do. Lie, stirring words to whip the crowd up in a frenzy around some imaginary and inaccurate ideal of the past. Then they get in power and when they try to implement policies they just end up breaking things and letting the true fascistic, elitist, and racist political theorists write their policies for them (Project 2025).

    Whereas Zorahn is actually politically educated and is likely using the word Fascist to describe Trump because that’s what Trump is acting like and is using logic and reason to appeal to his voter base by calling a flapping quacking duck a fucking duck: honest and direct words about the state of affairs and what should be done to fix it.

    To Trump, Zohran just looks like the other side of the same shitcoin. But if Zohran actually implements his proposed policies, he’ll be demonstrating that he’s actually got value.

    (The metaphor got away from me at the end there)
