At this point the creep of fascism has become a headlong charge, and it won’t matter if it’s Trump, or Desantis at the head of it, roughly half the people in the USA are fascist sympathizers if not bonified ones who openly glorify it. They are all too happy to see books being banned, a womans bodily autonomy being taken away, a free and open press being subdued. All i see year after year is that it’s getting worse day by day, hour after hour. And that half will tell you with stubborn conviction it’s not at all similar to rise of the Third Reich unironically, and expect you to praise them for having “better” insight.
