The fascist coalition is a coalition of enemies who all hate each other and dream of exterminating one another, held in check by a strongman who uses flattery, favors and threats to keep a lid clamped tight on this pressure-cooker: pluralistic.net/2025/07/29/b...

In this regard, fascism is simply one end of the continuum of conservative movements, which are *always* about finding a way to "get turkeys to vote for Christmas."

That's because, at root, conservativism is the belief that a minority (rich people, white people, bosses, men, etc) are born to rule and everyone else is born to be ruled: pluralistic.net/2026/07/08/w... By definition, "a minority born to rule" can't win an election, because they're a *minority*.
