and the GOprojection continues...

i havent seen a lot of mainstream articles pointing out the obvious, 'most conservatives incapable of defining fascism'

not that a lot of non-conservatives can either, but they arent the projectionists attempting to sway opinion.

This isn't projection. They're not saying "fascists".

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

Though the word they are saying might share the same root as fascist. The Latin word fascis referred to a bundle of sticks and as French developed most s sounds before another consonant were dropped (status > etat, schola > ecole). Also c to g and vice versa is a common sound change. The French ruled England for a while and the word made its way into English then.

I don't know if you cared about any of that but I do think it's a funny name that those homophobes gave themselves
