Not to mention the inadequacy of the label "conservative." I saw a recent "genius" interview, sorry I can't place it, identifying "conservative" as designating a desire for change to be SLOWER than "progressives" would welcome. That is hardly applicable to the panicked contingency driving to whiplash America, and particularly American women, back to the horrific 1870's.

True. The term reactionary doesn't even capture what these people are all about anymore. It is fascism and it doesn't feel so soft to those who are victims. However, per my above statement to Gloria, the "soft" designation is valid and useful in an analytical sense and for purposes of showing where we are and where we are headed. We shouldn't quibble too much about terms. The important thing is to identify these lesser things such as banning books as a form of fascism and refusing to let them stand under any circumstances. If we look closely enough, we can find hundreds of examples of precursors to fascism in the Republican playbook. That's what I was asking Thom to write about in the future.
