    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”
