No, that’s what I mean - sounds like you’re referring to the total republican base as fascist (under normal circumstances I’d be fine with this generality), but my point is that fascist sentiment within that cluster has exploded in popularity.
True, gerrymandering is disenfranchising millions of democratic voters, along with closing polling locations - but the disenfranchising I’m more concerned with is the voting block being pushed into nihilism by a lack of action by the opposition. That makes the fascist party far more attractive to even typically moderate voters who might not agree with the more violent aspects of fascism but agree that stronger action is necessary.
