15. There Needs To Be A Clear And Substantive Differentiation Between The Fascists And The Patriots

First off they're not even a fucking governmental department.
It's a made up bullshit fascist trope.

Secondly Elon Musk is a fascist shit.

Thirdly the entirety of the GOP are fascist shits.

It is one thing to align and build consensus towards a goal beneficial for our country.

It is quite another to give undue credence to a nefarious group of depraved criminal fascists.

It disturbs me greatly when the bright line is blurred instead of being drawn distinctly.
