    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.

    …but the half-way pessimistic part of me has to bring up that they’re going to do as much damage as they can on the way down. Hopefully that’s kept to a minimum.

      Some part of every generation reacts with panic to changing culture, politics, media, etc.

      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.
