They don't support fascism. That's misconstrued from a lack of perspective. A lot of non-Christians, non-denominational people, and your basic, city liberal often focus on management instead of deep, underlying concerns that come to governing, running, or even having a society. There then ends up being a mistranslation of philosophy.

Unfortunately, the left has been absolutely gutted since post WWII, and especially since they lost again and again before the 1980s, which then got us Reagan (Carter was very complicit as well but skates by because he builds homes, apparently). It's now become one of managing others and eking out small victories that are spun as massive ones.

A lot of right-wingers hate fascism. They just see it from another position. That's why it's a cliché that's not worth anyone's time. The obvious highlights were when people criticized Trump for implementing policies that were mainly started during Obama's administration, but which people thought originated from Trump. You can go on like that - this city, and this sub in particular epitomize that sort of basic outlook. It's just not going to lead to much difference.
