Get ready for a truly spectacular galaxy brain take.
Rep. Daniel Crenshaw (R-TX) on Wednesday night railed against the stream of corporations like Delta and Coca-Cola that are publicly condemning GOP lawmakers’ efforts to gut voting access, claiming that the criticism was a product of “progressive fascism” (which isn’t a thing).
“The Democrats have successfully captivated the institutions; pop culture, Hollywood, our education institutions and now our corporations into their own woke agenda,” the Republican told Fox News. “This is fascism. And they use cancel culture as a tool to impose their fascism on us.”
It goes without saying that not only is “progressive fascism” a plainly fictional concept, massive corporations exercising their right to free speech to criticize the government for making it harder for people to vote nowhere near the realm of fascism.
Additionally, Republican lawmakers are the ones trying to punish and/or “cancel” those corporations for speaking out against the voting restrictions by working to revoke their special tax breaks and anti-trust law exemptions.

I’ll see your stupid comment, and raise you one Citizens United.
The CEO of Delta Airlines cuts a dashing figure…
Isn’t it sooo cute when your 3rd grader learns a new word?
Isn’t it sooo precious when your 3rd grader learns a new word, and then goes and complains on Fox News that the world isn’t fair to them?
Always had to consider where to stash the swagger stick when making a speech. You know how much those Eyetalians love to talk with their hands.
He speaks a strange language that only serves to confuse. Fascism has to be at the top of the GOP agenda.
People can easily choose to drink Pepsi rather than Coke. FSM knows travelers can find a thousand reasons to avoid the Delta cattle car experience.
