Strongly disagree. IMO the Right sees a window of opportunity to put fascism over the top, and they're going for it -- and believes the downside risk is minimal, as they can lose and fall back to business as usual, where they are structurally comfortable and successful.

But if you're right, the thing they don't understand there is that fascism... has a fairly shitty record. AFAIK the only countries where it lasted longer than a decade were Spain and Portugal, and neither really prospered under fascist regimes. They lose even if they win.

I think they're wrong, and I think we can show them there's no business as usual past attempting it
