I'm saying the elections follow, they don't lead. If you're in a political environment where roughly half the electorate is clamoring for naked fascism, you've already been boiling the proverbial frog for awhile. Electing the "lesser fascist" is not going to change the zeitgeist. Sorry if I was too obtuse previously, but we already in fascism. Yes, things can (and will) get worse, but this election will have minimal relative effect on that.
