      MAGA isn’t liberal even on pure ideological grounds. It is a fascist movement through and through, and any pretensions otherwise are the nationalistic flavoring that Mussolini himself recommended.

        MAGA is perfectly liberal, Clyde. Who did you think it was that keeps on funding fascism into existence over and over again to protect the oh-so precious liberal socio-economic order- the working class, maybe?

        That’s what (so-called) “conservatives” are - liberals who have discarded every liberal pretension and openly fetishise a social order where private ownership dictates your status and power in society… ie, the only thing LIBERALISM has ever truly cared about.

        Fascism is a working-class ideology nurtured and enabled by liberal elites to protect their status and private property because liberal elites cannot violently protect their own ill-gotten status private property.

        Anything here that’s difficult to understand?

          I can see why someone who doesn’t understand the difference between causing the conditions for a disease and the disease itself would think that.
