      Aren’t Ron DeSantis’ goals in line with the exact opposite of Fascism? He’s attempting to cut down the size of the government, and basically prevent most government intervention in education (by eliminating it as any sort of federal agency, albeit I suspect there’d still be some “anti-woke” education bills). You can say his views are in line with hate speech, but equating it to any sort of Fascism is just plain wrong.

        I can tell you were educated in America. No clue, nor desire to find one. Desantis has been mimicking the actions of past fascists directly. And fascists don’t care about size of government one way or another. Neither do so called American conservatives. They just want to be in charge of the corporations and the corporations to be the government. Who you may ask? The answer is yes, because they’re the same.
