Yet we have people that seems to defend these people like they’re not.
I don’t have a lot of hope of “winning people over”, it might come from living in a red state where people keep voting for the party that fucks them over, they get mad when they get fucked over, then they vote for the party that promises to take away the lube.
Saying they’re idiots instead of fascists really isn’t defending them. They’re stupid people who keep getting duped by conmen, largely because those conmen have captured the media and education systems in their states to keep them stupid and gullible.
It’s about recognizing that things aren’t as black and white as they’re portrayed, and having some compassion for people who are literally brainwashed by a cult.
Attacking them by calling them fascists will only serve to dig their heels in deeper by establishing yourself as the enemy, like their brainwashing tells them.

Oh I’ve done the compassion front right up until the last election. I talked just like this on “No, we need to meet halfway.”
After enough “I did it to own the libs” I’ve learned my lesson.
They are useful idiots, an important aspect of a fascist regime.
They are fascists.
