I’m not sure I understand what he’s complaining about, don’t we constantly talk about how these people are fascists? Like isn’t that the lens through which we view this?

That is downstream of corporate takeover of media, is what he’s trying to say. Something that is indeed rarely discussed, but I wouldn’t say never

Who do you mean when you say “these people”? Are you saying the 40% of the population that voted for Trump have always been fascist? If not you need to explain how conservative voters voted in fascism.

Conservatism has always been fascism adjacent. It’s just a cover for selfishness it’s not actually a political belief. Especially in the US especially in the last decade or so. Trump didn’t come out of a vacuum, the conditions had to be right for someone like him to be able to be appealing.
