MODERATORS
I'm sorry, what?
What are you confused about exactly? Fascism always start on the fringe and it works its way into society because the "moderates" become complacent, fat, and greedy. In the US bribery is legal, and Democrats have become more concerned with protecting their corporate bribe scheme than protecting our democracy and stamping down fascism.
That's how it works every time -- corruption renders institutions unable to combat fascism, which is why when the take over actually happens it doesn't take a ton of force to push things over, they just push the door open and walk in.
I don't live in the US so i am kinda confused how conspiracies and interactions between opposing parties are synonimous with the development of fascism
It doesn't have to do with just the US, it's a very similar pattern wherever fascism rises. People's dissatisfaction with their corrupt and inept government is leveraged by fascist groups. It's what happened in Germany in the 20th century, in China, in Hungary etc.
