    A large number of Americans far removed from the ruling class want fascism. They want it because they’d been propaganda-brainwashed, and their feelings are hurt if you call it fascism, but they mos def want it.

        They see it all, what’s happening and where it’s headed, and they cheer. It’s moot whether they cheer because they want fascism or because their fascist brainwashers have told them to cheer. They want fascism whether they admit it, even whether they know it, or not.
