A government that says you can’t call it authoritarian is most certainly authoritarian.

    A cursory search on X shows dozens of examples of Miller referring to Democrats as “fascists” over the years, but as I’ve previously written, it’s a fool’s errand trying to shame MAGA bigwigs by holding up a mirror to their flagrant hypocrisy. They don’t care, and they relish shameless trolling — like wielding awesome power to police the same words they use all the time.

    Don’t be cowed by MAGA’s speech-policing threats. Just as it has the right to say horrible things, you have the right to call the president a fascist. God bless America.

    If you don’t want to be called a fascist, simply do not behave like a fascist. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

      Before you take any action, simply ask yourself, “Is this something that a fascist would do?”

        Okay but what if I just like the runic script and ancient Rome and medieval Rome and early modern Rome and whatever the fuck the Pontic Greeks were doing Rome?

    I find it interesting that after a media companies licenses were threatened, pundits/comedians jobs threatened, and their editorial sovereignty threatened they suddenly decided to start writing articles criticizing the administration. Even if it is self serving.
