Lol especially since it turned out he did think that way anyway. Gotta dance around labels, wouldn’t want Poe or Godwin or whoever to smite our souls

This is the biggest hand-wring, semantic gargling I’ve ever seen. What is “authoritarian theology” but making a deity out of the control structure. Nazis used Jesus, too.
They’re facists. The fact they tried over turning the election on J6 with the fake electors proves it completely, they do not point to Jesus, they point to procedure. That’s what a fascist does. Making the Constitution into a religious text is some of the most fascist shit ever, they successfully bind the propaganda structure used to prop up the injustice to an emotional spiritual feeling of righteousness. Its fascism.
Yeah but he’s saying they only use the tactics
Republicans are fascists lmfao
“Fascism” does not necessitate throwing people in camps and gassing Jews. By any of its classical definitions, they’ve married the concept of governmental authority and economic authority. They use a myriad of nonsense to spin narratives, and as you allude, in a new scene, nothing has to be consistent. What is consistent is their fealty to one man, and money. They’ve worked at this for a long time. I personally enjoy american civil religion as a thought point. Especially when you bring up Israel, twisted-ass nation. Is it simply “authoritarian theology” too? Russia has got to just be straight up fascist, right? Theyre literally a mob state. I see little difference between Russia and the Republican dream for America
