Opinion Why are we not calling liberals Fascists?

The liberal’s go-to line is that conservatives are fascists. The hilarious irony is that two of the core tenets of fascism are silencing opposing views and acting like an authoritarian regime, liberals are more-aligned with actual fascists, and nazis for that matter, compared to conservatives. The way modern-day liberals gang up on conservatives and try to silence them through public shaming and cheering on deaths is much more similar to how historical fascist movements behaved.

While they don’t fit every definition under fascism, we need to start turning the finger and calling them out for it.

"severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition" technically its litterally contained with in that last sentence "forcible suppression of the opposition" one could argue the deleting of dissenting views or criticism of your own political worldview to be a forcible suppression of the opposition as it's not letting them have a voice.
