26. Part of being a moron is assuming fascistic colleagues would follow

the leadership of a woman. Authoritarian movements are always strongly male dominated, and a big part of their energy comes from the male members' need subjugate women, accepted by the female members. And fascism, where it applies, is an extreme form of RW authoritarianism.

My guess is that if this noise of the moment got any encouragement at all from better entrenched colleagues, it was merely from some interested in the possibility of hooking onto her gravy train.
