    The problem for right wingers is that it's hard to get all this adventurism to coalesce into the type of naked, large-scale fascism they really want. As bad as the police are, they aren't disappearing people en masse like the Southern Cone dictatorships of the Cold War. As common as right-wing vigilante violence is, they can't get away with the kinds of death squads you saw during the Jim Crow era or you've seen in Latin America.

    They'll get Years of Lead-style terror and increased police brutality, and that will help them more than it hurts them. But they want full acceptance of them and their program by the state, and that's not something they can force from the ground up.
