Your argument breaks down at "conservatism" there is no nuance to being a fascist or fascism supporter. "Oh I don't really like how he's racist and I don't really like how he treats women, but I support the tax cuts" Bitch, that's the BAIT, you're now supporting fascism because you were baited into it with your greed.

    Extremism is bad yes, but you are assuming that is everything I can vote for. Politics is a spectrum and I know the US doesn’t see it, but in the end I vote in a country where I can vote on over 100 people from like 40 different parties. Same for when I vote for the EU.

    I believe that the lack of nuance is part of the problem why I think the US lacks in the compromise department. No there is no defence for extremism, but if you don’t have any good options to vote for then you choose for the one you think is the least bad.
