What the actual fuck? No. You need to listen to the words that come out of these motherfuckers' mouths. None of them have any "deeper meaning". If it's fascist on its face it's fascist the whole way to the bottom.
You seem to be missing the point. There are very few fascists who wake up. Look in the mirror, smile to themselves and think damn. I'm going to make some fantastically fascist choices today. They are billions of people who wake up every morning. Look at themselves in the mirror and think I'm going to choose what's right for me because I deserve it. Billions more will wake up look in the mirror and decide that they want to do what's best for the world because the world deserves that. The other third keeps sleeping because they're tired of listening to the first and second third argue.
That's the deeper meaning greed, compassion, apathy. Choose your flavor.
This said it's both parties (inb4 "both parties are fascist"). This would seem to apply to things like "J.D. Vance fucks couches." Do Democrats know it's false? Of course. But he's weird, and doing that is weird, so they're willing to keep saying it. Yes, it's a joke, but it also seems to match what's described in the article.
