They weren't short sighted; the capitalist class prefers fascism over even a slight hint of socialism.

Fascism shifts the blame of economic issues onto minorities from the owner class, whereas even something as moderate as mild social democracy still critiques the owner class.

That actually is short sighted though. The empire is dying. Bernie and those kind of policies represented a way to gently wind down and create a soft landing for the decline.

You're exactly correct about why they rejected though! They refuse to allow any concessions, or admit that its over

Yeah but if their biggest fear is UN soldiers occupying the US and FEMA camps and all that, they should stay away from fash shit. Because that's where fash shit ends
