Fascism demands war. It demands “sacrifice”, slaughter, for its existence and continuation.

Ur-Fascism literally worships strength and conflict as refiners of masculine, dominant ontology. We are talking about grifters yes, but not all of them, some on his cabinet are genuine, dyed in the wool fascists. Miller, Hegseth, Gabbard… And others.

All you need to do is bribe, convince, or threaten enough senators and other politicians to get your way when you’re in charge of the executive.
