    The rise of the far right is a complex global phenomenon with multiple contributing factors.

    The commitment of all political elites in the US to relentlessly attack leftists leaves a smoother path for fascists, and i definitely think it’s right to call out dems for this.

    But the problem is much more than just a right to center-right party like the dems stifling leftists.

      Dems haven’t been center right in decades, they may be barely left of Republicans but center on the political scale does no move, only parties do. With the Overton window Dems have been far right for years

      To me, it boils down to what political alignment best suits the political money machine, and in a vacuum that will always be strong police, strong military, and a loose application of the laws that are meant to control their actions toward 99% of the population.

      That may be simplistic as well, but the scrooge mcducks of this world have far more use for the bootheel than they do for the reallocation of their wealth to the great unwashed.
