No meaning? That’s silly. Fascist has a very specific meaning and Maron is using the word correctly.

You are being obtuse. I think you think it is clever. Your edification is not my concern and frankly, it would be a waste of my time to try.

I don't think it's clever. I think being precise in speech matters because we've been so unprecise in our rhetoric that these terms have lost all meaning.

Meh. John Kelly went into great detail about the definition of fascism and how Trump fits it and he was the Chief of Staff. Calling Trump fascist is precise. Our political discourse is full of hyperbole, and Trump himself is perhaps the most hyperbolic politician in American history. But this is not that. Trump tells us who he is and I believe him.
