The Republican use of the “fascist” accusation is entirely about muddying the waters to imply it’s just meaningless political noise. Same way “fake news” followed people rightfully pointing out that conservatives were getting actual fake news.
Or the GQO calling peaceful protests about Gaza insurrections and exactly the same as Jan 6th. Fascism needs to muddy the waters to drum up as much support as possible. Keep people dumb and angry.
They did the same thing about BLM and J6 - saying J6 was just peaceful protest, mocking what was said about BLM - which actually had 93% peaceful protests (a stat they ridicule, of course - and of course ignore all the agent provocateurs that instigated violence at BLM marches).
