Long over due for human rights groups to list these scumbags as fascists. Because the only explanation to ripping off these people's rights is political advantage.
A lot of people have been calling them that for a while though. In my memory Bush admin was called fascistic by leftists, I'm sure vietnam war was similar and so on, so I disagree about it being long over due.
I think a bigger point should be that a majority of people for a long time didn't even know what fascism is beyond "bad ~~people~~ germans that hated jews". I think after Charlottesville it got a bit better, but still not good enough. And because of that just calling them fascist will not work on people who don't already agree with us.
What I mean is for more central third parties to make a formal statement.
