I'm saying they aren't American conservatives at all, they're just boring old fascists.
Conservatism is a relative judgement based on politically acceptable rhetoric. Fascism is not.
'But they're not true Scotsmen.'
My guy, fascism is absogoddamnlutely a form of conservatism. It's what that label actually refers to... not what you'd like it to refer to.
If you want to argue that America has been a fascist state for most of its history I'll agree.
You speak a whole different language, huh.
Yes, it's called English.
No dictionary on Earth is going to tell you that conservatives worldwide stopped being conservatives when - for some reason! - they overwhelmingly identified with fascists rising from among their ranks.
And if it did it would still prove you wrong, because apparently it defines fascism as whatever America was already doing. I guess they're duty-bound to conserve that, because that's totally how labels work. Like how leftists are against rights, and the Republican party is aligned with Wolfe Tone.
