Democrats are not just pointing out that republicans are acting like fascists, democrats are actively funding and supporting fascists because they think of it as a valid strategy: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/20/1106256047/why-democrats-are-paying-for-ads-supporting-republican-primary-candidates

Then they turn around and point at those candidates to say "we must defeat fascism". The problem is that some of these crazy candidates actually get elected (see trump, as I pointed out with the link I posted about clinton's team helping him). Democrats would rather slide into fascism instead of moving to the left, which is why they're funding these campaigns and then claiming they're the only way to fight it.
