    Prepare yourself for a shock- the Nazis called themselves socialists and the North Koreans call their country a democratic republic.

    Sometimes some people use words properly and sometimes other groups of people use those words improperly for propaganda reasons.

    But I’m sure that can’t possibly be the case here. It’s not like you can legitimately call an incoming administration literally working out the details in putting up concentration camps right now fascist. Not one where the incumbent president is literally promising to be a dictator.

    I just don’t see the fascism connection there, do you?
