It runs just fine for me, huh. Certainly not because of lack of google services.

Maybe graphene is doing some firewall things? KDE Connect needs some ports open (to the local lan) to talk

Fascist is overused these days, and I’d argue reactionary hits a nice descriptive middle ground between conservative (which they are not, any more) and fascist (which many of them aren’t yet).
