    The problem is that in order to unite the left it is necessary to agree to the ideological level, very difficult, to unite the right it needs just a briefcase of money.

      Money’s got nothing on hate. Nothing unites the Right more than hate, every fascist ideology centres around hate for a certain group. Be it Jews, Palestinians, Chinese, or Hispanics.

      The briefcase of money turns into velocity of money, which turns into jobs, which turns into wage pressure, which turns into higher wages for the poor, so they can buy the product or service with their own greatest marginal utility; so in their eyes they view the briefcase of money as the optimal empathetic choice.

      Well, assuming the right in this case are Ron Paul right-leaning and not Trump right-leaning. In Trumps case he does just want the briefcase of money for himself.

          A lot of people aren’t ready to let go. Probably something to do with having lived their whole lives like this they can’t accept its wrong and needed to be changed this whole time. Sunk cost?

            definetly onto something. talking to older people thats exactly the impression i get.

            deep down the fascists would rather, well, be fascists than to accept radical change from what they are used to. especially when i see that at least in my country they are a majority of older people.

      I wish. You’re giving right-wingers way too much credit. Most of those craven idiots do it for free for the opportunity to lose themselves in a gaggle of other morons. They are vulnerable in a way that is easy to exploit for people who know how to do it.
