Fascists are strange creatures indeed.

They claim to be all about logic and rationality, but even a little bit of either blows apart their entire worldview.

"They're taking all of your jobs" while "they're lazy and stealing all of the welfare money".

"It's simply the natural order" yet "we need brutal enforcement to keep it in place".

"It's free speech" yet "ban the books, ban the journalism, jail the journalists".

"America did not do anything wrong" yet "we cannot teach portions of American history".

"War is terrible" yet "we'll blow them to smithereens".

"College education is useless liberal indoctrination" yet "I was incredibly smart which you can tell because I went to Wharton" and "I graduated from Yale".

"Thoughts and prayers are all we can offer for shooting victims because bans won't work" but "let's ban abortion".
