I was thinking more along the “traditional” conservatives, anti-regulation tech CEOs, and Trump himself. It was always an unsustainable balance but I did not expect it to unravel 6 days after Elon left the WH
Traditional is long dead. Now it’s the burn the government down nuts, use government for Christian nationalism religiofascists, and the grift everything in sight Trump.
alright here’s my problem with that - there’s genociders who would gladly burn every business to the ground for the sake of a white authoritarian Gilead and who seemingly have no motivation beyond the oppression of minorities. what are those called?
Okay, then what do we call the billionaires who want to be as objectively wealthy as possible and are therefore upset when they lose the undocumented workers that make their factories / farms / meat processing facilities profitable?
remind me: it’s the Fascist, Corporatist and what’s the third one?
ps: neopentecostalist?
Techbros, thieves and the loonies I think
It’s the MAGA-fascists, the technofascists, and the Christofascists, as far as I can tell
It’s plutofascists who wish they were technofascists
I like that, I can get on board with that
Edit: I really like this. In fact, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m stealing it. Plutofascists masquerading as technofascists.
No no, we recategorized that as merely a dwarf fascist years ago.

I would pick the Heritage Fund religious extremist types for one leg.
Still fascism
monarchist (trump-loyals who don’t actually give a fuck about immigrants or anything, they just want a godking)
all together:
fascists - authentic nazis like bannon
corporatists - in it for the money like musk
monarchists - want sole rule by a strongman, hate democracy, like trump himself and his loyalists
Corporatism is fascism.

Note the “third way” reference. What candidate from what party used that term when running for US president?

Fascists.

Fascists.
That there are various types doesn’t change the umbrella term.
Sure, but it doesn’t help explain the situation if the only words we have are “The fascists and the fascists in Trump’s admin are fighting each other”
Technofash, kleptofash, *Christofash. Or “the various fash factions are fighting.”
Incompetence if where talking about the Adam something video
