    It’s as much of a “code” as claiming Obama was born in Kenya or chanting “let’s go Brandon;” it’s completely obvious what they’re going for, but they think they’re being clever.

    Anyone currently supporting the GOP is either a neo-fascist or is comfortable in bed with them (which makes them actual neo-fascists). “Red Caesarism” is about getting people comfortable with that fact.

      Asking for a repeat of a republic being torn down by a literal dictator. Might as well call it “Red Palpatine” since subtlety is out the window
