and they are pissed as shit that that world doesn't exist. its less that homosexuals exist, less that trans people exist, and more about losing the power to control and define everything and everyone around them.
and they honestly do not care about capitalism, democracy, or law, or even morality. they are going to have that power, one way or another, or we are all going to pay.
that is the source of this fascism.
