How many people know the definition?

Since Kamala-lama-ding-dong, Hillary and others are slinging the word around willy-nilly...

From Webster's

often Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition
At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation.
—Jason Stanley
There are differences between Italian Fascism, German Nazism, and their various nationalist descendants.
—Josh Jones
broadly : a philosophy or system with some combination of fascist values and governing structures

Yeah her handlers have told her to put that word back into her arsenal. No more pretending to be a unifier, above the divisive TDS rhetoric.

1. We don't have autocratic government
2. POTUS can do some stuff through EO's, but some get slapped down by SCOTUS or Congress enacts a superseding law. That's not a dictator.
3. Severe economic and social regimentation?
4. Forcible suppression of the opposition? The Dems already do that by lawfare.

So Trump's definitely not a fascist...That word doesn't mean what she thinks it does...

[Horace]

She knows exactly the rhetorical punch of the word, and she could not care less about the dictionary.

I dunno who you've been hanging out with, but Marxists aren't actually the greatest of guys. You don't need to defend them so much.

[Axtremus]

Socialist?
