is there any method to the madness? I stumbled upon some stuff and its horrifying, but could be understood from a very neutral perspective. Is it entirely full of racists and reactionaries?

    Now having a fascist nation is always bad, but having an imperialist/expansionist nation is arguably worse for everyone around them.

    Then there's the third option, an imperialist / expansionist fascist nation that tries to do a genocide speedrun. I'm aware the right wing of the GOP leans towards isolationism, but Bush already showed that you can be a unilateral isolationist who hates international institutions and still be an expansionist warmonger. The US is just not weak and tiny enough to make them the non-expansionist kind of fash, if there even is such a thing in the first place.

    This is not directed at you, just saying that the people you're describing are missing the elephant in the room when they think it's either imperialism or isolationist fascism.
