Why the hell do they keep calling conservatives Fascists. And your mother wears Army Boots.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I take on a label that gets thrown around way too casually: ‘far‑right fascist.’ I walk through how mainstream politicians, academics, and media smear conservatives as fascists, starting with Biden’s ‘semi‑fascism’ line and moving through Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Antifa, the 2020 riots, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I argue that election denial and political violence are bipartisan bad habits, not a one‑sided moral failing. I lay out my three‑axis way of thinking about politics — personal freedom (‘leave me the hell alone’), economic control (capitalism vs. heavy state control), and nationalism — and explain why both fascists and communists fail the ‘leave me the hell alone’ test, why today’s loud progressives sit closer to the authoritarian left than they admit, and why wanting smaller government and strong borders does not make you Mussolini. If being conservative gets you called a fascist, maybe it’s time to stop accepting their definitions — and, if we’re going to trade playground insults, to answer that their mother wears army boots
