But do fascists really care about their customers either?

My observation over the past nine years is there are really only two types of MAGA. The “moron” be they barely literate enough to read a ballot and vote, or in possession of some education but so devoid of critical thinking that the right wing message of grievance and victim politics has overwhelmed their ability to think for themselves.

The second type of MAGA is where many business owners and professionals fall. These people are fascists and authoritarians who care primarily about two things: preserving the white male dominated status quo and their own bottom line. They believe Trump gets them closer to those goals and that’s why they support and promote him. Most of them don’t even really like him much, but that doesn’t matter.

So, girl in bikini is bad. Agreed. Old white dude who wants to be the dictator of America? That’s pretty bad too, and I posit the business owners who display either don’t care about their customers in any way other than how they can separate them from their money.
