Yes but fascism isn’t the cause, it’s a symptom. Fascism isn’t a new phenomenon in this world. We know what causes it. The same thing that caused it in Italy, is the same thing that caused it in Germany, is the same thing that’s causing it in Israel, and the same thing that’s causing it in America. You’re just prolonging the demise, and it’s a terrible place to be mentally.
There is one thing we (specifically US citizens) may luck out with this time. The economy which the fascists rulers and the whole current western social idea is connected to might collapse together with the AI bubble, which already shows symptoms of falling apart with major banks warning that the whole US economy is pumped up in a single idea, with only very few companies holding up that idea. Woule it crash it either sends the US into mega-fascism or acts as a catalyst for renewal, depending on how much the population clings to the old (studies show most reject this kind of turbocapitalism by now, in the US).
They’re not running trains on time to put it simply? Now the question is, will America become more fascist if/when things get worse, or America will get a max marginal rate of 92% again. What sounds more likely to you?
Fascism is capitalism in decay, revealing its core function: maintaining the dominion of wealth through physical force. When consent can no longer be manufactured for capitalist crimes, repression takes over. Fascism is the system functioning as intended: forcing consent when consent is no longer given.
MAGA is the fact that the american people understand that the system doesn’t work anymore and needs to be radically changed, they just don’t know how to change it to make it work again.
Somebody (Trump and his friends) take advantage of that by offering the people radical change, just in the wrong direction.

Not saying it’s likely, just that’s possible.

no, i’d say we don’t. or at least it’s not so clear to many people. mind explaining if it’s so obvious?

What are people supposed to do, have an Occupy Wall Street event?
As the father of fascism himself labeled it, fascism is the marriage of corporations and government.
