Is it ruZZian propaganda or the simple fact that the voting public is largely made up of reactionary white kulaks who love Trump's brand of fascism?
No, it's ruZZia.
Its surreal. As a kid when i learned about Nazi Germany id think wow how could anyone go along with that? Now as an adult some of the people i used to trust as a kid are literal brownshirts.
It doesnt even feel real sometimes. And yet here we are.
It's because Americans have been trained to think fascism is spectacular (a myth pushed by fascists themselves) so the mundane nature of everyday fascism doesn't really affect them.
A lot of time and energy was spent trying to paint fascism as an inherently foreign entity that comes into their midst. They will quote that whole "holding a Bible and wearing the flag" line and still imagine it as some kind of disguise it wears and not the form it takes when it sprouts from within.
