            Some people seem to have misinterpreted your previous comment as expressing approval. But this disregard for the usual rules and standards is certainly part of the fascist playbook. It and the constant lying and goalpost-shifting are how they toy with their opponents and demonstrate that they just don’t care. That’s why the far right always speaks in bad faith. They enjoy the sport and it buys them time to load their guns.
