[quote=Anonymous]Jennifer Rubin nails it. The GOP’s obsession with abortion and enslaving women is fascism. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/10/03/maga-fascism-women/

None of them know what “fascism” means, of course, though they call Democrats fascist a lot. For those Democrats who have not wanted to use a word that many find incendiary against the GOP, here’s a short explanation of why that is what the GOP is showing themselves to be:

“Pundits and politicians tend to observe a bright distinction between the Donald Trump MAGA movement’s assault on democracy and the right-wing evisceration of women’s reproductive rights. After all, some pro-democracy voices on the right are antiabortion. But simply because not all forced-birth advocates are MAGA authoritarian supporters, that doesn’t mean a critical point should be overlooked: The attack on women’s self-determination and autonomy is as much a part of MAGA’s fascistic affinities as is the cult’s fondness for violence and white Christian nationalism.

One need only look at right-wing regimes present and past to see that they invariably include appeals to hyper-masculinity and demands for women to be limited to their roles as women and mothers. Modern authoritarian regimes — such as Viktor Orban’s Hungary or President Jair Bolsonaro’s Brazil — and European fascists of the 1930s alike have sought to compel motherhood and limit women’s participation in society.”[/quote]
