That’s the thing. The person you’re responding to is trying to draw you into an argument in which you acknowledge Democrats are also fascists. They are not. Not by the very definition of the word.
The? There are several flying around.
Which definition? e.g.:
Government and corporate power acting as one?
Binding people together in groupthink?
Military industrial complex rule?
“Neo-Liberalism” (the Orwellian euphemistic synonym, being neither new nor liberal… same old fascist)?
Centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, with a policy of belligerent nationalism, racism and jingoism
Oppressive, dictatorial control?
Top-down government / anti-democractic government?
Auth-Right (e.g. as per the political compass)?
Corporatism (the synonym preferred by Musolini)?
Oligarchy (exacerbated with Ed Bernays style “crystallising public opinion” and kakistarchy on its plutarchy/kleptarchy come attercoparchy) / “Big Baron”?
Not the Democrat party, the Republican party?
…
One of these is not like the others. ;)
Until that last one, I was struggling for a definition that didn’t have the Democrat party also qualify.

This whole thing has me think of Pacific’s song, “Break your social system”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNCrYT--VKk
