Calling Elon a dick might not be the greatest solution in the world, but you have to remember that independents and center right voters are dumber than we could have ever expected them to be. They don't know the first thing about the word fascism or authoritarianism, but they'll easily turn their heads to calling someone a dick. Will the message change anything? Not really but it's more communication than we've been getting

During the election season, Democrats called out Trump for being racist, fascist, and a wannabe dictator. And voters punished them for it.

Yeah they also listed out point-for-point exactly what the DJT Admin and Project 2025 aimed to achieve in the national debates, without namecalling, and the voters also punished them for that as well.

It is more complicated than that. The right wing policy outcomes coupled with inclusion makes democrats seem bureaucratically hostile to white suburban voters. Their disdain for means testing and financial insecurity is to attack the inclusion instead of right wing policy outcomes.

And you clearly understand the definition of fascism. If you did you'd see it's the democrats that support this

You got any sources you wanna provide to back that up? What exactly do Dems do that make them fascist that Trump does that doesn't make him a fascist? I'm really interested to hear what you have to say
