    that would be such a letdown if the only ground for fascism was inflation… but with the recent rise in europe, might be the case

      It’s mostly fear based

      People vote for wannabe strong men, law and order shit, when they are scared

      And currently there are enough crises happening for people to be scared

      But fascism is always politics of fear

        Yeah and much easier for people to latch onto messaging of

        “it’s the [immigrants|minorities|women|gays|etc] fault and I’ll take care of it, just keep us in power and it will all get better”

        as opposed to

        “the system is broken and it’s going to take all of us of different races, creeds, identities, etc to band together and make significant change to fix it”

          Exactly

          As long is there is someone to blame, they’re not at fault
          Complete kindergarten mentality, but…well, here we are
