I see fascists as being different.  I have no love for Republicans, but I wouldn't use 'fascist' to describe them.  They are different enough for their own label.

But, yes, some of the Democrats are playing on the capitalist side.  It has gotten to be lately that you win by letting the capitalists finance your campaign ads, not by serving the people.  This has begun to shift, with Trump defeating well financed well experienced establishment of both flavors.

But a rejection of ad money in favor of having a clean money trail hasn't caught on, and just saying you are for some of the People is not enough.

You can call me a Republican voter because that's what I am and what I have been for a long time. You can call me rich because that's what I am compared to PB, a typical member of the blue working class or a low end blue voter surviving off government subsidies. As far us ( the two of us), we are equals whether you like it or not. As you know, I have no love for the Democrats and I place no value on the Democratic party of today whatsoever. Some day, if you happen to live long enough, you will find out how accurate my view of things are pertaining the blues, the blue system, its opportunistic use of multiple values pertaining to multiple groups of people and the future of blue America as a whole.
