@misc @mekkaokereke @georgeeyong The _most_ support any fascist politician has ever gotten in a free and fair election is something like 34%. Fascism is ultimately an unpopular organizing principle, and requires violence and intimidation to usurp power.
As violence is integral to the fascist calculus, they _do_ respect strength in numbers, but if you have numbers and refuse to be intimidated, their ability to project force is greatly diminished.
Deep down, most of them are just bullies.
