One has to wonder where they'll hit the proverbial brick wall with their batshittery; it seems they're always trying to one-up each other on who can present the best case for fascism and the most violent way to achieve it.
I'm not sure there IS a brick wall for them to hit, and whether they (or we) would know when they hit it. The whole far-right project consists of grown men with adolescent emotions (sexual insecurity, resentment, fear of women, daddy-worship) seeking intellectual justification for making them the boss of you and me. They see themselves as philosophers and prophets while they're just dorks with university degrees. It's rooted in a deliberate, or inadvertent, misreading of the past. and as such is a fantasy. Why SHOULD they ever snap out of it?
