Loss of rights is linked to authoritarianism | Letter to the editor

Marriage equality, voting, and women’s rights are all under attack because of the rise of right wing extremism. It is no longer hyperbole to call the Republican party fascist.

Their continuous lies of election fraud and their attacks on women’s and minority rights speaks volumes.

This Trumpian brainwashed modern GOP are dangerous extremists with no apparent compunction about eroding and destroying American democracy.

If that’s not fascism, what is?
