Couldn't be much worse than what we have today in the real world...
LOL, I know it's not what you mean at all, but your answer gives me the vibes of "so fuck it, let's all vote for Sauron". Even though I know that's not what you mean at all.
I guess the ONLY good news is that fascism genreally is stupid. (Which is sad considering how stupid they are and yet still manage to do so much damage. I guess democracy and the general public are that much stupider.)
Strange thing about sociology / political games: stupid works.
In the runup to world war II both the UK and USA were studying Fascism as a potential way of "getting more" from their populations to compete better in the coming conflicts...
One of the most frustrating things about life and humanity. lol. One of MANY things, but.... definitely one of the things.
I don't know if this ties in well or not, but many times over the years I have talked with otherwise reasonable people who had already, or were about to, make really stupid decisions, and I called them out as such: "this is a really stupid thing to do" - to which they all responded "are you calling me stupid?" - I never succumbed to the temptation of "well, if the shoe fits..." - truth, and what I said, was: "about this particular decision, yes." They always had some particular goal in mind which overrode all other considerations in their mind, and they couldn't step back and see how their goal wasn't 100% all important overruling all other considerations.
That's the type of patience I'm still trying to learn, so it's good to get a reminder (and a new wrinkle on a good way to respond). <3
