> What's even more enraging than the rise of fascism is the fact that only fascists have figured out how to be popular in the age of social media.
I'll put aside your thought-killing use the the f-word.
What's really going on is liberals (of the social and pre-market variety) has embraced a "there is no alternative" style in and attempt to collapse political politics into kind of "unipolar" political moment, where the only option is to agree with them. They has quite a lot of success for a long time.
Well they're not wrong? The choices were fascists (they are - obviously - don't sugar coat it) and some useless non-fascist politicians. Most people would expect the majority to think that literally anything is better than fascism, but the majority doesn't think that. The majority actually voted that literally anything is better than useless do-nothings. Which is the same way Hitler got elected by the way.
