Pay Attention, Please

 Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.(Wikipedia) The following FIVE examples, examples of the news regarding Republican Politicians and Republican Voters, as I see it reflect perfectly, the definition of Fascism. In Georgia once again the Republicans wish to overturn the will of people. In Georgia, a band of Insurrectionists had one desire, and that was to follow orders from their Leader Trump. Bat Shit Crazy, and abnormally stupid, Palin, hints at domestic war against a duly elected government. The government in Florida plays physician, educator, and parent. 

For me, it is not HYPERBOLE, EXAGGERATION, or INCORRECT to compare the wishes and wants of the Republican Party, their POLITICIANS, WEALTHY DONORS, and BASE as comparable to FASCISTS.
