You do not realize how xenophobic the average American teenager is. Fascism creates angst and rage and turns it towards outsiders, and high school in America is the prime place this takes place.
I teach high schoolers political stuff all the time...
One of my best times in school was converting a teacher to Marxism before I was even there. Our grade 12 end of year social studies paper was an opinion piece about the fundamental nature of competition. Dude took me aside after class, I thought I was in trouble and he told me that it acrually changed his view of the world. 17 year old me was star eyed cause this was the most stuffed shirt teacher I ever had and everyone else was terrified of him. We got along well beforehand regardless but that was the biggest boost I ever felt.
Now I'm just sad thanks dawg
