What if the restaurant gets a customer who is perfectly polite, tips well but is wearing a red maga hat?

It shouldn't get that far. Once you invite one fascist, and the first one is typically polite, there will be more coming so you've got to "nip it in the bud".

What if your the fascist?
They usually protest, if that's what you're asking.

As a movement they're dependent on other organisations to carry them forward, hence why they infiltrate political parties, bully media outlets into disseminating their talking points and so on.

No I mean what if YOU are the fascist?
What if you were a limp camel?
The point I was making is that:-

Using lawfare to try to take out a political opponent (ridiculous NY charge with no precedent, no victim, and from a DA who was famous for reducing felonies to misdemeanours but for Trump did the opposite)

Applying govt pressure to social media companies to censor content (twitter files etc)

Using the intelligence apparatus to try to take out a political opponent (russian collusion hoax, fake dossier)

Relying on the media lies to maintain power (border is secure, Biden is mentally competent etc)

Well these are all features of Stalin, Putin, the CCP and now the modern Democrat party.

what is a fascist? Were the Allies "fascists" for kicking out the fascists?
The same thing they should do if someone walks in with a red arm band on.
