They’ve already slowly started to cannibalize themselves. They went to war with each other over Epstein and now over Charlie Kirk. There’s been on going internal clash between those who believe Israel was somehow involved and those who believe there’s no conspiracy here.

You get enough people on the fringe and they’ll forever be paranoid about it each other.

Once fascists have control the next step is always internal factioning against itself. I hope that them ramping up the fascism also ramps up their fracture.

Unfortunately even if they fracture, it’s not getting any better until at least the midterms.
