What else would you call it?

This isn’t a teenager calling dad a fascist for grounding them, the GOP is literally taking pages out of the historical fascism playbook.

I'm saying the term "fascist" is used for pretty much any policy the left doesn't like, such as abortion restrictions, spending cuts, etc.

Refusing to honor the results of an election is fascist. Passing policies that the left doesn't like isn't fascist. However, labeling conservatives as "fascist" is politically convenient, in much the same way as labeling progressives as "socialists" is politically convenient. I worry that the public doesn't actually understand what those terms mean, so calling out actual fascism or socialism is an issue.
