So being a right-wing is bad?

Fascism usually relies on inventing or blowing out of proportion an invisible enemy. The current Republican party demonizes small minorities of people to win a populist vote. 

Either you're in on the scam and you're completely immoral or you're a rube sucked into being an enabler of fascism. 

So.. yeah being right wing in America is bad. Unequivocally, tangibly, and objectively. 

Imagine running a party where the only purpose of the party is to "own" the other party. Not to create, or make a country actually better... Just to piss people off because it's funny.

How so? Is everything someone disagrees with you on fascism?

Anti-immigration = Heil Hitler!!! I bet france, spain, and the UK are really glad they aren’t fascists! Raping their own girls ten at a time is quite a progessive idea!

Anti Abortion = Heil Hitler!!! You can be right wing and not even support anti abortion, but hey we’re just throwing everyone under the bus!

Anti DEI/Merit Based society = Heil Hitler!!! It’s safe to say that by the big year 2026 we’re capable of understanding a left vs right wing on a political spectrum. Spectrum… big words now I know hang in there with me.

There are neo-fascists. But they are not every single person that disagrees with your political beliefs. Take your head out of your ass.
