    And then if they succeed in that then what? Did they win? Do they take their ball and go home? It’s not like the world was all hunky-dory in the fifties. There’s no golden age to go back to.

      Then they move on to the next entry in the “then they came for” list.

        Okay but at that point only white Christian nationalists are left.

        Like what are they going to do take the 18 million people left in America and wage war on the rest of the planet?

        They would get annihilated, which now that I think about it is probably the amazing hidden backstory behind Big hero 6. Welcome to San Fran Tokyo

          Yup, and then they decide to start in on Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Quakers, and Catholics.

          Like what are they going to do take the 18 million people left in America and wage war on the rest of the planet?

          Probably, yeah. When they have rid the country of those they consider to be undesirable and it hasn’t solved all of society’s problems like they said it would, they can either admit that they committed genocide for no reason or start looking abroad for new monsters to blame shit on and then slay.

          They would get annihilated,

          Yeah, there’s one little wrinkle in that outlook. Fascism does really short-sighted stupid shit at the end when it gets desperate, and has no regard for human life, and they would have access to the US nuclear arsenal.
