It's so easy to see where this guy is coming from 'cause he's not near as clever as he thinks he is.

Or you're more gullible and not as bright as you think you are.

It's undeniable that modern liberalism mirrors many central elements of the early 20th-century fascist and communist regimes. To build the "GOP is fascist" trope, the left has focused on the personal characteristics of those regimes' leaders.

What this focus ignores, maybe quite purposefully, is the move toward increasing the political power of elites and centralization of government power at the expense of individual freedom and rights. BOTH major parties in the US are responsible for allowing this to happen.
