Relentless, hate-filled propaganda backed by the government, scapegoating, villainizing and the absolute demoralization of people, organizations, political views and thought that are contrary to the "official line". Hyper patriotism. On and on.

The ingredients are all there and the cake is being made right before our eyes. There just isn't enough of them or enough power to bake the cake yet. Yet.

No appeasements. No compromises. The right just takes it as a sign of weakness to be exploited and taken advantage of. They will not stop until they are politically rendered unable to continue their agenda. Period.
