A bunch of old people that burned the world are afraid of losing their power and wealth, and as climate change becomes the unstoppable force that even they can’t stop, their hunger for power accelerates. They brainwashed the low-educated general masses (including brainwashing tech billionaires who have long since forgot what intelligence is and are easy to manipulate) through decades of biased media and promises they’ll never keep, all the while building a plan that’s mostly just copied from the Nazis, as they themselves aren’t really that intelligent, but some are cunning. The cunning and greed begets plans to keep the wealth and power. The plans are so fundamentally wrong and evil, they can never admit the wrong and evil part. They try to hide it behind “Christianity” to sleep at night.
Then, they wait for the correct time.
It was icing on the cake to have a senile mango to be the puppet.
republicans wanted us uneducated so we’d be easier to manipulate. now those chickens have come home to roost. our populace is easily manipulated by russian propaganda
This is what the Republicans have wanted for decades, they’ve just also been largely lying about not being this craven or extreme for decades.
I come from a right wing household, was raised listening to Rush Limbaugh on the AM radio all the time.
The base has always been like this, the people on top, funding and puppeting the base, have also always been like this.
The mask is just off now.
Trump just gave them all permission to stop pretending they gave a fuck about making sense or pretending to give a shit about any principles.
It literally just is ‘first the Dems get a Black President, and then they ask us to wear masks in a pandemic?’
Too much, the hard core rightoid loses their mind at this point, and just wants everything to burn.
Of course it doesn’t help that neoliberal capitalism has been disenfranchising everyone for decades, but the base Republican voter is way way way too stupid, or horrendously misinformed to know what those words mean.
By worshipping the musings of the 20 something, slaveowning, landowning, white men who set out to create a nation built on the wholesale genocide of Native Americans.
By continuously degrading wages, prohibiting public transport, withholding healthcare, perpetual wars, diminished education, disenfranchising voters, and the bipartisan effort to concentrate power to the executive? Fascism is not a new phenomenon. The reasons for its proliferation are well-documented, and even as leftists have accurately pointed these out, they’ve been laughed away by liberals. The liberal framework cannot explain how fascism takes rise.
How did America let this happen.

There’s only one problem with your explanation. America didn’t copy the Nazis. It was the other way around.
A 2000 year old religion, 250 year old racism, and 20 year old technology.
