   Any attempt to talk about ways in which Republicans are a uniquely dangerous strain of eliminationist fascism draws people rushing to tell me Dems are bad too, and 1) yes they are; 2) often this feels less like anti-fascism and more like deflection in defense of Republicans.

     I am skeptical about the perspective that seems to believe that opposing Biden’s disastrous and murderous Gaza policies requires immediately and reflexively obviating any warning about the coming permanent fascist theocracy Trump and his gang have promised to enact.

     There is also a reflexive instinct when Biden is justly criticized to immediately and reflexively shout that Trump is worse, which is 1) true, and also 2) changing the subject in a way that seems designed to deflect to avoid engaging with a real problem that needs addressing.
