i also keep seeing the "as a non-american, my fellow citizens would never elect a fascist"
yes they would, given the appropriate political environment. people are not fundamentally different from each other, they are shaped by their environment. everyone is capable of being a fascist, even me, even you, even the best person you know
most people are simply never given an opportunity to become a fascist in a socially acceptable manner. that is not to say, that given such an opportunity, everyone will be a fascist, of course not, but still, many people would never even have the opportunity to make this choice
this is very very important to understand i think, if you want to oppose fascism and essentialism in all of its forms
