The funny thing is that they could just speak the truth and state that the Kirk fellow was a demagogue who believed in nothing and would shill for any oligarch copytext that would benefit him. They could even make a glib remark that he would shill the idea that “a mayonnaise enema supports freedumz and shit and will allow you to fly” as an example.
I don’t think Kirk was a fascist in the ideological sense and likely knew that what he was pitching was both immoral and factually wrong, but didn’t care as long it materially benefited him.
This is honestly a horrible situation not just for the US, but the democratic world at large. US moving from proto-fascism to full fascism in not a good thing for the global democracy and human rights.
