“We can't look at Europe for what an American fascist movement would look like,” says fascism scholar @jasonintrator, because “an American fascist would be someone who’d be the most American as possible... They’re not gonna be wearing lederhosen over here.”

An American fascist would look exactly like what we see now. They belong to the Far Right are white Supremacist, racist, misogynistic, and believe in patriarchy.They may or may not be part of the SBC.Remember Hitler took his inspiration from the American South.
I think it is important to see the role that religious identity/performance plays in the fascist gestures we’re seeing. I wrote about it here: smerconish.com/criticalthink…

Exactly. Nationalism is fascism and it differs by country.

It’d be kind of funny to see some of these guys in leiderhosen.

Trump as POTUS was not wearing lederhosen. The FBI & DOE as USA spook made long practice of EMF attacks on the male crotch, based on sensing the male crotch. My issue: there is simply no truth or content to Deep State lying, even in mumble speech.
