Those Republican politicians who’ve embraced fascism as their governing philosophy understand that fascist followers don’t really care about policy. Instead, it’s about which group has power and which group is powerless.
Republicans want to ban abortion, gut Social Security, and give another trillion-dollar tax cut to billionaires, all while killing the right to unionization and quality public schools? Fine with GOP voters; they’re really not noticing policy.
And they’re not noticing because they’re not interested in policy: that’s secondary in the fascist follower’s mind. First and foremost, in every case, is The Leader and their relationship to him.
And America’s fascist followers aren’t going anywhere: if Trump stumbles, they’ll simply attach themselves to the next fascist leader, who appears at this moment to be Ron DeSantis.
