Byron C. Clark: "Many people don’t recognise fascism because they think fascism will arrive selling oppression and tyranny, but if you’re part of the privileged group, fascism is selling you safety, normalcy, and tradition."
@Blotreport Exactly and that's why the fascists promote the things they do. Out of control guns and alienated young white men help them. School shootings help them. A decaying infrastructure, homeless camps, broken public education, terrible public health services help them. Employer brutality and poverty help them. Anything that promotes chaos, insecurity and fear helps them. Seen through that lens, Republican policy making makes perfect sense. These people aren't stupid.
@fvehafric Spot on. The merchants who promise stability are those creating the chaos.
