That's exactly what they'd want.

Fascists and pseudo-fascists will always have two big advantages over the center and left: one, of course, is corporate backing; and two, is just sheer human nature.

It's just easier for most people to fall back on hatred and identity politics. They know that, and have learned to exploit it very effectively.

Nevertheless, the pendulum always swings - and usually sooner than we expect.
