    The frightening realisation to take away is that most people don’t have a visceral horror of fascism in the way that progressives on Mastodon do. Which makes sense: if fascism was regarded with widespread revulsion, the Trumps and Orbans and Netanyahus of this world would be as successful as someone running a dogshit sandwich stall at the local market.

      No the problem is instead of:

      Fascists vs non-fascist

      We get:

      Fascists vs slightly less fascist

      That’s not good enough to win elections. It’s not a binary choice between 0 and 1, it’s 0.5 and 1.
