This is where I part company with you, and I'll say again that when I was teaching about "terrorism," people told me I was being semantic and too narrow, and yet now...
*waves hands at all this*
Terrorism is everything. Precision is never a bad idea.

YES. Many of the people objecting have no interest in a united front and would just as soon delegitimize anyone they think of as "centrist."

That chart is from October 2024. Therefore, Joe Biden is a fascist. Why won’t you admit it, Tom?

Yes, and they're panicking and giving in to the contagion of fear that Trump is gladly trying to spread

You honestly don’t seem to realize that you have become a self-parody, Tom.
Your inability to let anything go, as demonstrated in your aggressive and dismissive quote-posts, only highlights your fragility, and how utterly important it is for you to protect your ego.
Your behavior is quite funny!

Well, at least you’re at peace with it!
Apparently you need no one else — not even people who might agree with you; because it’s apparently more fun for you to engage in intellectual combat that tears down people aligned with your views; and that makes you feel very, very smart!
Enjoy that, Tom.

I find his curmudgeonly manner entertaining. Don't take the disagreement personally. There's some good natured self deprecation in there if you look closely.

Your ego seriously knows no bounds. You’re hilarious.
You do realize that you even posting that meme belies what it says, right?
You literally can’t let anything go. I pity you.
