re: Why do so many people on this board think that liberals are "fascists?"

It seems the OP gets his definitions from Wikipedia.

Cherry picking certain aspects of historical fascist platforms and applying “Far Right” to the definition doesn’t make it true.

Hard truths about all Fascist

Total control of government
Outlawing / jailing of political opponents
Rigged elections
Always a political boogyman to blame government crackdowns and restrictions on.

The who nationalism thing is horseshite.

Western European countries are all “Nationalist” with over 90% of their citizen being the same racial and ethnic background. They have laws on the books protecting those historical traits. Immigration is restricted and they have to assimilate.

Asia as well.

In the US, we allow people to come and not have to accept our language, laws, and cultures, bending our rules for their convenience.

Not agreeing with that policy doesn’t make a person a Fascist or right wing.
