Actual comment by a right-winger on Facebook: “Fascism is a liberal ideology. Being used currently by liberals.” Showing that in some circles words no longer have any actual meaning, but should simply be thrown around based on connotation. For example, “fascism” is simply something that describes “that which we should hate” rather than an actual political ideology with a specific history. And “liberals” simply means “the group I oppose” rather than a specific political label, again with a history and ideology. Welcome to the post-fact world.
