I don’t see this having popular support [since when does that matter?]. Maybe I am being too generous but the Republican voters, despite being braying hogs, don’t see themselves as Nazis and having the sec state pull folks’ passports for speech is a little on the nose. So this overtly fascist policy might create some friction with the conservatives who broadly - in my estimation and I may be wrong - are allergic to seeing themselves as fascist.
doesn’t matter, they’ll support it. They might not see themselves as fascist but they also don’t see fascist policy as either fascist or a bad thing. As long as trump admin isn’t saying “Yeah we got this policy from the 3rd reich” they’ll be onboard. And even then…
Agree, the morning hours caught me too generous, I will harden my heart lol.
they also don’t see fascist policy as either fascist or a bad thing.
Yeah, austerity budgets, anti-LGBT, anti-homeless policies … iM OnLy AgAiNsT iLlEgAliMmIgRaNtS … all fash policies that the supporters get surprised to be labeled thus for supporting. And to not seeing it is a bad thing, I suppose they get very defensive trying to avoid that label but only see it as a slur or a smear applied to them and not a real descriptor of policies.
