npub1lzz05275zkk6zwuzel45jusr74ftyyuah8zll8vl09k98w8smy7qedjhl3 (npub1lzz…jhl3) there's been a tension within the Republican Party since the NINETEEN twenties and especially with the election of FDR in 1932.
The Republicans who loved tarrifs (the lot HCR talks about a lot) freaked out when FDR moved the country away from tariffs and towards a fairer tax system that helped most (white) Americans. Some of them fully embraced Hitler, chief among these people, Henry Ford.
Other Americans liked fascism for the same reason some Germans did: grievance and violence.
