    My halfway-optimistic view is that fascism is doomed to fail. It’s just too stupid not to, and the stupidity is core to the entire movement.

      Oh it’s doomed to fail of course but a shitton of damage is going to be done, to people, to society, and to world peace.

      And we have to pretend their political opinions are reasonable and normal.

      It’s also why it’s fucking stupid to be conservative, because recorded human history is literally ten thousand years of conservatives panicking about some stupid shit and getting proven wrong.
