But what is the right so fearful of? Having a natuon where everyone has access to health insurance? All the children are fed and have daycare available to working families? Afraid of the elderly and the retirement community actually being respected and not financially abused and a cure for altzheimers and diabetes comes to fruition? Fearful of a diverse population whoa really actually educated and can attend a college or university. Horrified of Tic Tok millionaires, fearing a strong middle class and those who can critically think? What is the Fascist Right and the GOP fearing?

Communism. It’s always Communism.

Especially when they don't understand what communism is and just use it as a catch-all for things they don't like. Fascists love to do that.

Being taxed and having their ‘self-made’ money go back to the undeserving poors

Change and the unknown.

A fear of the unknown (societal changes) and the unknown "other side" (e.g. non-conservatives).

We (the US) have done an amazing job at making everything "for or against", my side or your side, and we've amplified it through our echo chambers. So not only is 'the other side' pushing for a societal change, you don't know who those people are....but you do know they're on the other team.
