    The basic thrust of my dissertation is that a sizable chunk of American conservatives, including major leaders of the movement, were *always* primed to chose fascism.https://twitter.com/nils_gilman/status/1198231485695676418 …

    We would not be the first democracy where the fate of the country comes down to whether actual conservatives, when forced to choose, prefer fascism or socialism. https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1197984444600205312 …

        This is how I understand why Francisco Franco was so popular among movement conservatives, even those who distanced themselves from overt Nazism.

        That’s also why it was so imperative, during the Cold War, to identify Nazism as a “totalitarian” ideology, more similar to left-wing communism. (And, conversely, denying the Franco regime was or had ever been fascistic.)

        I suspect you could say something similar of "liberals" who want to direct people's behavior, even if expressed differently. The desire to control is, unfortunately, a too human trait.

        Yeah, what’s the liberal equivalent of the Muslim Ban? A recycling drive?

        The more insidious problem is the larger group of 'moderates' who would, without hesitation, choose fascism over possibly having to trade in their employer's health benefits.

        We're at the point where calling for the destruction of the Republic has become a mainstream political view, one we are obliged to respect if not endorse. Medicaid For All and free college are now edgier and more provocative than crowning Trump as King.

        Check the broad popularity of Dirty Harry, Death Wish, The Punisher and their real-life instantiation in Bernhard Goetz.

        See also the “we lost Vietnam because we weren’t allowed to do war crimes” narrative of the Rambo and Missing In Action films.
