Biden just condemned Antifa, so spare me the vote-shaming crap. Joe Biden is not an ally. https://t.co/XPHu1guHTV— Pat the General Striker 🦺🌹 (@PatTheBerner) September 8, 2020
If you don't see that as using the reactionaries I don't know what to tell you. You're absolutely fooling yourself if this man is an ideological fascist, he's not. He wears their aesthetic to manipulate them just like the "progressive" liberals wear socialism to manipulate the left. This conversation works in reverse for every single socdem claiming to want a revolution with smallprint.
He hasn't created a fascist movement though. The fascists were there before him, and they'll be there after him, but they haven't been bolstered by him. The smart ones with real ideological understand and beliefs are even vocally stating they want to get away from him because they see him as harmful and preventing their growth now, see: Richard Spencer.
What he has created is a Trump movement. Conflating every Trump supporter with the people that are willing to go out into the streets and die for a national rebirth is nonsensical though. They're not. They're pampered disorganised fools with zero sense of any ideology at all. Without Trump and without any movement infrastructure at all what happens to them post-Trump is completely up in the air. This is why Q is the relevant threat.

He doesn't need to be a true believer to create a movement full of them.
