I sort of believe that at any given moment, most countries host between 15-30% of its population that could be considered fascist. This isn’t a problem with a civically engaged populace that can easily take part in elections, which is precisely why the right wing wants to control the “quality of voter” and make it into a privilege, not a right.
The US in particular has structural problems that have, since it’s inception, unfairly benefited the most reactionary segments of the US population, more so than even other liberal democracies.
I’m somewhat encouraged, but there are still far too many fascist voters for my comfort.
