“Slip-sliding into fascism”? Please.

This is the same tired melodramatic trope that’s played out every time anyone even remotely to the right wins an election in the United States.

It should be no surprise that many people, myself included, aren’t interested in “discussion and debate” that amounts to “anyone who is disagrees with me is cartoonishly evil”.

"The beam of thine eye", heh.

But you don't live in areas where masked armed people disappear people in vans while shouting "ICE", so I guess you don't notice - and as you blank out any discussion of it as "political", as long as it doesn't happen to you personally, you will keep refusing to admit anything is happening.

Anything like that list:

You can try to normalize this as much as you want, it ain't gonna normalize. Ignoring the supreme court? Ignoring habius corpus and due process? Pissing on the constitution, when you swore an oath to defend it? WTF.
