As a Tory and a Brexit voter, let me reassure you that I (and my Brexit voting friends) are not closeted fascists. The idea is quite offensive, actually. :)

I'm not sure if my English is good enough, but that's not what I said.

I said that Brexit and Trump removed the taboo about fascism and fascists are raising their voices.

Why would you think I called Brexit, Tories or Trump voters fascists? It would be over-simplifying demographics and politics.

Second reply to the same comment, because I was curious as to why would you create a throwaway for this debate...

And turns out your other comments are 2 oversimplifying The Guarding and The Independent editorial line / quality and the other two are misleading or a straight lie.

That makes me wonder if you really misunderstood my comment here or are you stirring the pot on purpose? That would explain the need to create a throwaway.

As a student of history, let me point out that the point of being a "closeted fascist" is to not admit one's fascist tendencies in public.
