I dont think that will happen, mostly because no one likes him. Fascists do actually have to be liked by the base.

My "why are LLMs making everyone crazy" thought today is that these algorithms behave like the sycophantic yes-men that surround the very rich and powerful - who also go nuts but, usually over a longer term (over years rather than months) - but as I see it, there are two fundamental differences:

The Sopranos is probably the Rosetta Stone of modern American reaction: it consists of people who bemoan the loss of an imagined past they mainly got from movies, claim victimization based on identity but hate when others do it, and view the people who build the society they prey on as suckers.

Because to them it is. Most of them are affluent, older and less impacted by the economic policies. So it's all aesthetics based, and the small "incremental change" is good enough, even when that change never comes.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

None of that runs counter to my actual analysis that until these parties show actual policy wins, they will not be represented on the national stage proportional to the ideological views of the public. See the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party for an example
VT Left Flank (@p2now.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not making an assessment, I'm calling yours not valid. I think that until an oppositional party actually exists and does good for the people, we won't know how the country leans. Of course the country appears center right when the 2 major parties offer far right and center right policy
VT Left Flank (@p2now.bsky.social) reply parent
You can't make this sort of analysis when 1/3 of the electorate doesn't vote. I'll remind you the last time a president even came close to implementation of a leftist economic policy they were elected for 4 straight terms.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/
