No, if that were the case then Trump wouldn't have won the nomination for his first term. He was up against a plethora of perfectly safe, normal, traditional bigots who WEREN'T caught on tape bragging that they go around grabbing women by the crotch.
What fascism offers is power. The kind of power that lets you go around grabbing women by the crotch.
It promises they'll be part of the in group who gets to benefit from that power. No, they're not part of the in group. None of them are billionaires. But they create the illusion through campaigns of nonsensical performative cruelty against the people they hate so that they'll feel powerful for not being the victims of their own bull shit.
And, honestly, not even that is true. They catch strays all the time. It's why they're fed a constant drip feed of misinformation to keep them so petty and hateful that they don't care how much they're personally hurt by these campaigns as long as they think the people they hate are hurt more.
Sometimes i go to add my 2 cents and there is already a comment that just covers it all. No notes.
