The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.

The key point is they are selling BULLSHIT. Even if you are of the right color / party, you are one misstep away from being burned at the stake.
That’s what most of these MAGA morons don’t realize, they aren’t going to be the rulers, they’ll be cannon fodder for the 1%, and even part of the 1% IE Muskrat will have to watch their backs.
Fascism benefits no-one in reality… Even the leaders of the movement are constantly watching their backs because their allies are scumbags like themselves.
Going down that dark rabbit hole, I can see how some people might see some benefits.
Entire classes of jobs get reserved for you. All white collar jobs and the better blue collar jobs go to those with the right skin color and genitals.
You get a government provided sex maid to serve you at home. She is less likely to leave you because she less legal and economic options to do so. If she acts up against you, you are allowed to “correct” her.
There is a hierarchy of deference that you are high up on. You may not rank in the 1%, but your word means more than someone of a different gender or ethnicity.
People may be willing to risk their freedom for that elevated position.
Those are all fantasies. Every incarnation of a fascist government has always lead to war, famine and suffering from the regular people.
The fantasy you describe STILL requires cooperation, honestly and trust, which are impossible in a fascist dictatorship.
At best the 1% get a few years of living the high life like Saddam, but sooner or later it all falls in on itself.
Yeah, it is a fantasy. But it is an appealing one to some.
Sadly you are right
