Well, remember, all this fascism is predicated on one thing, the idea that their opposition are far too tolerant to use the power back against them. Like how an abusive husband always has what seems like a kind wife. His entire hold over her is dependent upon her being a decent human being and not ending him in his sleep.
Fascists are always bullies and cowards. The types who depend on those braver and less educated than they are to do their dirty work. Or those already programmed for obedience (like religious people are). Is that what the US is? Nah, this time we're living in rignt now is probably the least religous time in our History. We're also pretty illiterate as a Nation, but so were the Bolsheviks. The immediate future doesnt look great for us, but the long term looks horrible for them, and I calculating the demise of democracy altogether where we have sham elections that Republicans never lose. I'm calculating the revocation of passports and a full push for isolationism. I'm calculating the immediate economic depression that would cause and the attempt by the Broligarchs to force us to work in their factories, alongside our children who are too poor to deserve an education. Or perhaps pick their food.
In fact I think the more harsh they try to be the faster it will end for them. Rah rah muh freedom is written into our DNA. And even the most absurdly dimwitted MAGAtard understands that the FCC threatening comedians they don't even watch is blatant Government censorship. They understand that Sinclair Broadcasting owning EVERYTHING is billionaire media. And somewhere deep down they're hardwired to hate this, too. They're just temporarily pleasuring themselves to anyone ELSE feeling a sense of despair, but that will wear off.
