Will Slaten wrote that in the opening of his comments on the nature of political discourse. No issue, right on. But where did he write the corollary on the other side of the aisle, that the right edge of the right-leaning outlets used to be Tea-Party; now it's fascist or authoritarian or dictatorial or whatever word he chooses to use to balance his argument? I did not find it. Perhaps it was an oversight, but coming from a writer for Bulwark, I expect more balance in buzz words. I expect I would agree with whatever moniker he chooses (or I would write a comment). TFG and his gang of reprehensibles love to call people socialists. It has a visceral ring to it. There are equally visceral words, and probably more accurate ones than I came up with, for TFG and Co.
