MODERATORS
From a psychological stand point I don't find it surprising. Fascism embodies hyper-masculinity; power trough military might. And so you can trace the appeal among homosexual males and FtM trans (think the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae).
Violence is always the ultimate tool of Fascism and Might being the ultimate expression of masculinity.
What is peak masculinity? Perhaps it outgrows the tyranny and violence? Then to a long and boring plane of hyper milquetoastness and practicality. A new and way way more accepting approach towards appealing to the “radical middle” in America. And before you can order a new pair of Dockers, Boom ! Bob’s yer Uncle & you my friend, are going to look absolutely amazing.
