> Susan Sontag likewise observed that fascist aesthetics glorify obedience, hierarchy, and the eroticization of force, transforming domination into visual pleasure and cruelty into style. In Sontag’s terms, the spectacle does not merely depict power, it trains the eye to desire it. The MAGA look follows this script precisely.

Saw it, recognised the look & had the same thought. 😐 Relatives of that coat were available in hundreds of army surplus stores across Australia after WWII. I had one myself - ex German Army, they were cheap, warm & waterproof; many still had the previous owner’s name sewn in. But Bovino is trying to create a ‘look’ - as others in this thread have noted. Leaves Kegsbreth for dead. 😐
