I have literally met people who self-identify as fascist.
Some people believe that it’s better.

Here’s a member of the Christian right saying “America is going to need a Protestant Franco.”
That’s not coping. It’s looking at fascism and saying “sounds great!”

Let me rephrase that then. The *vast* majority of people who get themselves into fascism do not like it when they get there and understand what has just happened, and how what was recently under their control is no longer. Your fascist acquaintances would not like actual fascism.
