Fascists are indeed becoming part of the fabric of our society, and their beliefs need to be exposed and they can hopefully be educated:

Fascism was more than just an authoritarian philosophy promoted by Mussolini and Hitler, it was also promoted as an economic alternative to capitalism and Marxism, at a time when people were becoming disenchanted with capitalism after the Great Depression. Some of us have called it "Socialism for the wealthy," but it was in fact branded as National Socialism, hence the German term: "Nazi".

The more that MAGA can be educated about Trump's true purpose to enrich his wealthy associates and oligarchs, the more that MAGA may begin to see the light.

That is different than platforming actual fascists, which is what I was talking about.

and they can hopefully be educated:
Someone who is being platformed is not there to be educated.

The more that MAGA can be educated about Trump's true purpose to enrich his wealthy associates and oligarchs, the more that MAGA may begin to see the light.
Many, many people do not give a shit if other people get rich, as long as they can scare Jews and beat up queers and eliminate Black people, which is what both fascism and Trumpism promise.

but there are a lot more MAGA who are concerned about the direction of the economy and may be willing to put aside their racism and trans/homophobia when they see what Trump is really is really all about.

This man has a terminal case of malignant Catholicism. He must be gunning to eventually join the Supreme Court.
