You raise an excellent question, why isn’t the opposition doing anything to stem the rise of fascism? I would suggest that it’s because they realize that there’s no way to address the crisis in America without fundamentally challenging the capitalist system, and the Democrats will never do this. They are a ruling class party above all else and their ultimate goal is to protect this system. It’s the same with the MSM. To put this down to ‘appeasement’ or ‘arrogance’ ignores the objective basis of the current crisis.

I disagree that Americans are weak and broken. I think they are profoundly angry but due to the mass brainwashing about the evils of socialism and communism, they have nowhere to direct this anger.
