If everyone did "the right thing" though I think the statistics would be too compelling to just ignore.

I think I disagree with the premise that there are so many people who would vote third party in the first place. Most people just aren't that engaged with politics beyond choosing what side of a two-way aisle they should be on.

I'm letting Eco speak for me here because he's a wiser man than I'll ever be, and much more capable of synthesis besides. If you want a more detailed dissection of it from someone who both lived it and studied it, PJ, go here: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/


That's funny I actually googled it and read that article before you posted anyway. Lots of reference to other names and figures made it hard to understand everything, but I think I understand the main takeaway. I don't think that I agree that fascism doesn't have an ideology, it just can have multiple. Or maybe it's better to say that certain types of ideology end up going the route of fascism. Fascism is a way to politically organize around certain demographics.
