The more chaos & violence the fascist[GOP] causes or creates the expectation of, the greater the yearning for "stability" & "return to stasis" is built up in their followers, & the more likely they are to back the only ones they are told can restore order. Coincidentally /s/ that is *also* the biggest perpetrator of instability: the fascist.
[This also has its analog in abusive family systems. Cf. cycle of abuse.]
To recruit, the fascist needs online radicalization that can't be taken down.
