  I for one would rather America actually learned from the Bier Hall Putsch and did all they could to make sure we didn't repeat Germany's coups, but hey, that's me
context: See also France, Italy, Spain and Italy in the 1900s. Coups aren't new, and we apparently refuse to learn how to actually respond to them >

  We are fortunate that this second wave fascism is almost exclusively led by complete morons. >
  
  It's by design. The first wave of fascism actually had a lot of backing by a class of fascist "intellectuals," afluent and educated extremelly conservative individuals developing fascist theories and extablishing the ideology from 19th century racial "science" and ideas of nationalism, this made fascism more appealing to aristocratic/business classes across the world, which feared the specter of socialist movements.
  Modern far right ideology is more populist, anti-intelectual, and reactionary than first wave fascist ideology.
