Honest question — why do liberal Americans like to call their enemies “fascists”? I’m not an American (I think your politics is funny as hell though so I follow it a bit), so any insight would be helpful.[/quote]

Merriam-Webster definition:
[url]often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition[/url]

The current MAGA Republican movement is a fascist movement that believes that the government should control many societal beliefs, especially Conservative and often Christian-based ones and restrict people from doing things that are against the Conservative or Christian ideology (like restricting minority, women, and LGBTQ+ rights).    They believe that there should be national standards that supercede individual rights,  They also believe that the former-President, Donald Trump, should be autocratically allowed to run the country and break laws that are inconvenient for him.  They also want to forcibly suppress opposition.  Through gerrymandering and overly restrictive voting regulation, they have sought to oppress and restrict minorities and poor voters from voting.  Through judicial appointments and judicial activism they have sought to slowly constrict the laws to restrict individual rights and suppress opposition.[/quote]
