eh, even then, I think I’m overestimating a bit. And a chunk of that would be fair-weather fascist, they’d only support it if it looked like it was going to be successful and there weren’t enough consequences for doing so.
The picture of an “Openly Fascist United States” just seems a little too… camp theater, if that makes sense. Like, in terms of our imperial policy, we’re already basically there. “Open Fascism” would just be bringing our international policy back home and implementing it here. And… I think there’d be a crisis of legitimacy before that happened, the country would break apart into regional factions. Those would be where capital-F Fascism, the sort that feeds people into an industrial slaughterhouse, would be at it’s most likely.
