      Here's the ending of Klein's piece, where he tells not to take Buchanan's "gleeful excesses" so seriously.pic.twitter.com/jrAjEUseCm

      I agree with Klein that Buchanan deserves serious attention but that also means not white-washing Buchanan's racism, homophobia etd

      Part of what's going on in Klein's review is Beltway Collegiality (Buchanan is by all accounts a charming man) of cable news pundits.

      Beyond beltway collegiality, Klein, like many centrists, doesn't understand ideology, sees fascism as personality defect & not ideas system

      Buchanan has a cluster of largely coherent ideas: white nationalism + tribal Catholicism + extreme gender conservatism.

      Some of Buchanan's ideas are theoretically in conflict. His Catholicism should clash with his racism, but in practice doesn't.

      Buchanan's Catholicism compatible with white nationalism because for him real Catholics are German/Irish Americans he grew up with.

      Historically, the cluster of ideas Buchanan believes in (white nationalism, tribal Catholicism) has affinity for fascism.

      As Buchanan discusses in his memoir, when he grew up Franco was a household God, the hero who saved Spain from communism.

      Aside from Franco, the other Gods of Buchanan's youth were Father Coughlin, Charles Lindbergh & Joseph McCarthy. Do I need to spell it out?

      Anyways, Buchanan is a important figure in USA politics (a precursor to Trump). He's serious, smart, reputedly charming. And a fascist.

          I heard Buchanan back 1992 make the case for a "national referendum" on whether the US should be allowed to have a majority non-white pop.

          To Kleins of the world, Buchanan can't be fascist because 1) he's charming 2) his politics have mass support in USA. Fascism is unAmerican
