One of the defining features of fascists is being entirely self-serving. The only reason one would go down fighting is if it were his best option (i.e. if generalissimo would purge him anyway if he didn’t).
In other words, his lieutenants are flipping because Trump is still acting more like a two-bit con-artist than a ruthless dictator. I would say that’s a good thing, but I think it’s more just a reminder of how much worse we can still expect it to get soon.
The vast majority of those who died fighting on that side were either forcibly conscripted or had no other options. The people in power were still mostly all mouth and nothing to back it up.
Because they’re cowards and finally facing the prospect of consequences. Fascists are only ‘tough’ when there’s no pushback.
Old fascists did die fighting and were incredibly dangerous.
We’re lucky the current bunch are so fucking stupid

Of leadership, sure that’s generally true.
I’m just telling you the S.A weren’t proud boys. They were a hell if a lot more dangerous
These people like the idea of fascism but it’s only because of their sense of entitlement. They have no ideology. It’s greed, opportunism, and ego.

I did mean pre war during the street fighting days
