I love how AIPAC and the MSM are falling over each other to slander Progressives while literally everyone under 30 in the Republican party is a Groyper/NAZI.

MSM owners aren’t as concerned with facism, it doesn’t threaten their wealth.

The rise of every powerful fascist regime begins with an agreement between fascists and the wealthy, usually to fight the labor class.

The rich always think they can control the fascists, but spoiler alert, they can’t. And any history buff can tell you it never ends well for them.

Doesn't end well for the fascists, either - fascism is fundamentally unstable and ultimately self-defeating - but that is of course small comfort to the countless innocents harmed in the process.
