And this is why these very serious words have lost their power. Racist, Sexist, Fascist.... When half the country is deemed to support "literal" Himler, or when Elon Musk, or Jews with family impacted by the Holocaust, are called Nahtzees, then these words have been diluted to mean nothing.

I hope people who so overused&misused these words are happy with what they achieved.

Congratulations you made these words lose all power. I would have preferred a world where these words still had serious meaning attached to them.

I agree the words are misused, it is the boy who cried wolf. Hence why I had to ask if DHH was X.
So who does he support that is fascist?
