It'll be funny if fascism ends up failing in the USA not because of "our norms" or "our institutions" but because these particular fascists are a bunch of messy, incompetent queens.
Eh, that's what they were last time too
Himmler put his masseuse in a prominent role in the military.
It's not just these particular fascists. Fascists are always washed up bums that get off by punching down. Which is why I'm so baffled about how they get (re)elected.
Then again, as wary as I am of conspiracy theories, the current generation of fascists have powerful enablers. Maybe previous ones as well, IDK.
