Online posts compare Republicans to WWII-era fascists
Original: Fact: # Democrats are not communists. Fact: # Republicans are fascists. Fact: In # WWII # Americans knew what to do with
A sharply partisan message is circulating among American political users, asserting that Democrats are not communists while Republicans are fascists, and invoking how Americans confronted fascism during the Second World War. The claim reflects increasingly heated rhetoric between US party supporters, with critics on the left using historical wartime analogies to attack their opponents ahead of ongoing political battles.
Why now: Partisan tensions in the United States are driving inflammatory comparisons between the two major parties on social media.
