How can this fascism be so dumb? Like ‘ooooo you reported facts I don’t like, you’re fired!’ How long can that really last?

Dumbest worst timeline.

They quite literally enjoy being fucking ignorant and want to keep others that was so more people don't find out that they're ALL bullshit. Bury their heads, ignore facts, send people away, strip away funding, institutions, they seek and prefer ignorant women (trad wives), lie to themselves about an afterlife, lie to themselves about this life and continue procreation as if it's infinitely sustainable, lie to themselves about their racism, lie to themselves about systematic sexual abuse throughout churches.

Ignorance is literally baked into "conservativism" and their way of life, and they love it. Keep selling the dream etc. there's always another rube, another con, another buck to be made, another "loophole."

There isn't an honest or earnest republican, that's an oxymoron, there's always the convoluted games and mental gymnastics. They aren't grounded in reality because they believe literal fantasy and yearn for exploitation.

I've heard the Nazis were pretty incompetent, did a lot of amphetamines, and were into occult stuff. While not exactly fascist, China and the Soviet Union had a bunch of dumb ideas too, promoting junk science and stupid farming practices. I think it can last a while, unfortunately.
