    Fascist leaders are good at manipulating stupid people. That does not mean smart fascists do not exist. Intelligence and morality are largely independent qualities, and some fascists are smart assholes, not morons tricked into it.

    Doesn’t apply in this specific case, but still: Assuming all fascists are stupid is dangerous; makes it easier for the smart ones to work against you.
