38. I agree with some of what you said. But not everyone who voted for Trump was a fascist.

I think that the language you used will just further divide this country. A lot of Trump voters were reacting to stresses in their life that they didn't believe were adequately addressed by the Biden Administration so they were lashing out in frustration and voting for change. Of course many of those voters will eventually realize that their vote was not in their best interest. But making a mistake out of frustration and ignorance does not make them fascists.
