So many republicans have no idea they're backing fascist,

[duforsure]

TFG isn't a republican at all, and never has been. These fascist have infiltrated their party by corrupting and compromising them one by one, then force them into more corrupt actions. TFG has used propaganda professionally, like falsely claiming President Obama wasn't born here, claiming his investigators were finding stuff when they weren't, and Hillary's emails were criminal and they weren't, Hillary and Bill's foundation was corrupt and it wasn't, President Biden and his son Hunter were corrupt and they're not, and on and on.

Fascist do this, lie, lie lie, tricking people into believing them over the truth, and why they attack the media claiming they're the enemy of the people because the truth undermines their propaganda. Now they use the election was stolen from them, when they know it wasn't, but use it to try to legislate ways to corrupt the elections, and incite the people to use violence.

Fascist claim they're victims, and their followers are being victimized. They accuse others of what they're doing, which is while they're victimizing their own followers by feeding them propaganda , and lies about others. Many Republicans have no clue these people are fascist they're backing, and will eventually lose their vote too at some point. By the time they realize these people are corrupt domestic terrorists, and liars, it'll be to late.

TFG knows his claims of the election being stolen is a lie. If he had anything to prove it was stolen, he would have used it in a courtroom under oath long ago. He's doing the same things again, lying to con people into believing his lies, because he knows people are easy to con.

1. They...

... had a solid foundation built with FOX "News" and the well-groomed Dittoheads. I agree they don't see the fascist playbook. They think Democrats are the fascists, which is an important part of the playbook. I watched a Tucker episode recently, and he is a master - turns all the authoritarian plays to Democrats and ties everything to a fear.

2. We can thank FQX noise and their offspring for brainwashing people with BS

Every 5 minutes on all their programs they remind everyone how evil/stupid/uniformed/lying/etc
Democrats are.

3. A good video " 10 tactics of fascism" by Jason Stanley,

[Cosmocat]

4. imo - the overwhelming majority of Rs darn well

know it's a full on fascist movement.

Some just don't think it will come back to bite them in the ass, some don't care if it does.

DECADES of being told they were victims of the evil liberal boogyman, they are blood thirsty and have little concern for themselves as long as the liberals pay.

5. Zero sum zeroes.

These traitors only care about winning at the expense of the rest of the country. The common good is an abhorrent concept to non-christian 'christian' kkkonservatives. Self absorbed goobers of greed. They truly stink.

6. Many are fine with a racist dictatorship as long because it is a white Jesus rule.

And gas prices are low.

They will gladly sell out their country and the lives of their children for this kind of government.

7. I don't know, I think many/most of them do realize that, but are in favor of it

as long as they will be a protected class, and even better if they can have a hand in suppressing any unruly resistors or "undesirable" types

9. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾 I think there was a state by state poll that showed this on abortion

10. I don't think most of them have a clue what a fascist is. They think fascist, communist

and socialist are all the same. I have heard Democrats routinely called all of the above.

11. Personally, I'm getting a little tired of giving repubs a pass because they "got fooled"...

about time they grew up and started living in the real world. If they don't, fuck 'em.

[Chainfire]

12. Many of them believe that Fascism trumps Democracy. (sorry ;) )

I have heard them claim that Democracy was "mob rule." They want an all powerful daddy to deliver them from evil, preserve whitism, and protect "freedom," Jesus and guns. They believe that they would be better off under such a system. By the time they found out otherwise, it would be too late to reverse the process.

[Happy Hoosier]

13. They are FINE with fascism if it promotes their point of view.

Look at DeSantis in Florida. BLATANT First Amendment interference with private corporations. Where are all the "free speech"
advocates on the right now!?

Why aren't they railing about "cancel culture?" Because they do not give a SHIT about cancel culture. And never have. It was a bullshit talking point fed to them by talking heads.
