The only people who would laugh, at this point, at the idea of the Left being fascist are the leftists themselves. They are too blinded by their indoctrination to see that their safe spaces, political correctness, and shutting down of debate all over the US in universities and lower level education effectively make them fascists. They seek to bully, eradicate, beat and bludgeon all speech that doesn't completely agree with their narrow views. This, my friends, will not do.

Njaea, I'm not so sure about that. The thing is that people have a very firm idea of what fascism is, and that the left is the very opposite of fascism. So outright saying "the left are fascists" will/might lead to people just writing you off as crazy without ever thinking about it. To them, it sounds just as absurd as saying something along the lines of "the blacks are actually KKK members".
What I want to do is to say the same thing, but in a different way. Perhaps by calling the left oppressive or some other word. Just something that wouldn't make every day average people immediately stop listening.

But that's all many people think of it. That is, fascism is literally whatever they don't like.
This isn't a new thing, either. Stalin used it. Maybe they're all just communists.

Trust me, boyo, they aren't.
