Here's the thing. You, me, we did not "opt into" fascism when groceries and rent went up and we got scared about staying fed and housed. We did not choose that attitude in response to hardship.

It is an EXCUSE. It always has been.

If poverty "causes" fascistic attitudes, then why don't we see more of BIPOC/marginalized poor voting GOP?

Furthermore, if we look at party affiliation by household wealth, it's the RICH who overwhelmingly align RIGHT.
