1) Most people don't have any real understanding of what fascism is. It's just a convenient metaphor that they like to throw around along with Hitler comparisons. It's virtue signaling. If you put Trump on a sliding scale along with actual fascists like Hitler or Mussolini, you'll see that he actually ranks pretty low on that scale.
2) Most people don't have any real understanding of what actual war is like, and how bad things could really get. And most of the people banging that drum have neither the skills nor the materials to make such a thing happen in the first place.
3) Most of these people who are saying these things claim to be pillars of inclusion and tolerance. That is, until you start asking them difficult questions, saying things that they disagree with or asking them to engage in actual, rational thought. Then you're a bad person.
Basically, this is just a bunch of spoiled children who didn't get their way, and now they are throwing a tantrum. Sometimes democracy is a real bitch, kids. Welcome to the adult world where there are no participation medals.
I know people right now who are just completely losing their shit about this whole thing. I tell them "Look, the guy just took office. How about we give him a chance and see what he does, just like we did with the last guy? That would be the reasonable thing to do, yeah? If he screws up, then you can crucify him." They do not enjoy hearing things like that.
It's like that girl at the UC Berkley riot that ended up shutting down Milo's talk. Somebody blasted her in the face with mace while a reporter was interviewing her because they thought she was wearing a MAGA hat. But somebody skipped basic reading comprehension, because her hat didn't say MAGA. It said "Make Bitcoin Great Again." And that's the kind of irrational behavior that we're dealing with.
