One of the major issues of the past election was literally the economy and inflation. Sure it wasn’t as bad as 1920s Germany but there’s a pretty clear trend that when the economy isn’t doing good for people and they struggle they end up either turning to facism or socialism. And the ruling class will resist socialism with everything they have while ending up capitulating to facism. That’s part of why in Germany the Nazis came to power rather then the communist and socialist parties. And it’s the reason in America why the Democrats fight so hard against people like Bernie to the point they have no good candidates to run and end up giving the win to Trump.
America and other countries succumbing to right wing politics are turning fascist but missing the hyper inflation and the collapsed economy.
