    Nope, I haven’t. Seen plenty of normal people getting called fascists by internet leftists. Lots dehumanzing from internet leftists, actually. Kinda ironic.

      Get your head out of the sand. If your not seeing it, you’re just not paying attention.

        Prepare for

        That didn’t happen.
        And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
        And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
        And if it is, that’s not their fault.
        And if it was, they didn’t mean it.
        And if they did, you deserved it.

        I don’t go to Disney World, it’s incredibly overpriced. But, in over 300 million people in the US, y’all managed to find 15 Nazis. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. Somehow, I don’t think y’all are referring to those fascists. Somehow, I think you’re referring to everyone that is called fascist, regardless if they are actually fascists or not.

            You guys literally call the half the country fascist, do you not see the problem?

              A third, more like. And yes, I do see the problem. Remember when the Capitol was breached for the first time in its history?

              People like you are like the Zentrum Party, wringing your hands all the way as you apologize for, cover for, and vote for fascism.

                For the first time in 2 years, not since 2018 with the Pink Hats! Quite an unique event!

                  I would ask “Are you fucking stupid”, but it would appear that the answer is already present.

                  The Pink hats were planning on causing a constitutional crisis to override the fucking American electoral system? Fuck no. That’s not how it worked. The 2017 Women’s March was several millions protesting and there was not an arrest noted across the country. January 6th was a few tens of thousands or noted fascists and more than a thousand of them have been convicted. Equating them is a a 10 IQ move.

                  The gallows for pence were not a mistake. They thought they had a “gotcha” in how power was handed over. If you equate the two situations, you’re very obviously what the comic is about.

          No, I just included one example. Here, let me take ten minutes to find more.

          Edit: Here we go, I’m starting my look at 3:25.

          Number 1: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/neo-nazis-protest-broadway-musical-parade-revival-antisemitism/

          Number 2: https://time.com/charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally-clashes/

          Number 3 - Not the US, but we aren’t specifically talking about the US: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/may/13/neo-nazis-clash-with-police-and-counter-protesters-at-anti-immigration-rally-in-melbourne

          Number 4: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/28/1145763964/new-englanders-are-fighting-back-against-neo-nazis

          Number 5: https://www.france24.com/en/20180813-counter-protesters-drown-out-neo-nazis-white-supremacists-washington-rally-charlottesville

          And these were just the big ones that made national/world news. That took me 5 minutes - finished this edit at 3:30.

          You have no excuse to be playing stupid.

            Such is generally a waste of time. You could find a thousand examples and it wouldn’t matter to these people.

              To be fair 1,000 still isn’t really a lot of people. There are more people that believe the Earth is flat or ate Tide pods.

                “who are you guys calling Nazis? I don’t see any Nazis!”

                “Here’s a parade of Nazis. These are the Nazis were talking about.”

                “That’s only one group of Nazis. You can’t only be talking about them.”

                “Here’s another 5 parades of Nazis. These are the guys were talking about. I found 5 parades in 5 minutes.”

                “That’s still not that many.”

                I wasn’t talking about how many there were. I was showing there are Nazis.
