I 100% agree with what you said, but please don't equate fascism to a mental illness, it's offensive to people suffering from actual illnesses.

Fascists aren't like that because of an illness they can't control, they are simply cowardly bullies that chose to behave like that.

Maybe it's more like heroin addiction. To them it's the best thing ever, they're willing to die for it and they're in too deep to stop. But everybody else can see it's fucking disgusting and will impact others negatively.

Nope. Maybe just equate it to fascism. It's already a well defined word and is plenty disgusting without trying to demonize victims of drug abuse.

Never mind an analogy then. Let's make it more simple...

And what do we do with fascists, america?!
