"For example, in mid-column, this statement from the Blow screed is highlighted: "Biden said that Trumpism resembles 'semi-fascism.' He's right." But "semi-fascism" (whatever that is) is just a political expletive. Biden could just as well have said that Trumpists are a bunch of so-and-sos. "
yeah racists sexists homophobes etc replaced by nazi, domestic terrorist, extremist, fascist, etc. The words used actually are meaningless labels . . .
except their dead brained followers believe the latest stream of invective against us and the use of such labels is dangerous.
These are all trigger or cue words their followers have been Pavlov dog trained to automatically respond to with virtue affirming fear, rage, hate and, when needed, violence.
These emotions, btw, trigger feel good biochemical that are as addictive as heroin and with the same rapid development of tolerance ie more frequent dosing is needed to achieve the good feels. This hooks them on tuning in obsessively to their programmer/trainer/dealer just like every junkie does.
