The side the listener is on believes this to be true regardless of whichever perspective you’re speaking from.
The left thinks the right are fascists without exception. The right thinks the left are fascists without exception.
How did those fringe minority opinions suddenly become mainstream as if you can paint a whole population with such a generalization.
I’m not saying both are the same, as one inherently requires the suffering of many to have their desires met. However, both sides will use this “team sport, win at all costs” mentality so long as it resonates with the population they try to reach.

Democrats have only started seriously saying that since Trump.
You can argue slightly for Bush and retaliation for 9/11. But nobody was thinking the state of American democracy was at stake lol.
Plenty of Democrats allowed nuance for misguided Republicans right up until they voted for Trump a second time. Or saying the quiet part out loud, or preferred convicted pedophiles over the other team.
It ripped the rose tinted glasses off. Most people who lean even slightly left know better now. What your average republican voters says means nothing if you continue voting in fascists lol.
