DrALJONES, 
Why fascists fash & conservatives vote for 'em
Fear drives, not just fascists, but most conservatives, who often see threat in neutral situations
They vote for "strong" leaders who share those fears & promise to eradicate enemies
They fear the unfamilar, are often poor at analysis, & evidence resistant
Typically, progressive thinkers are curious & seek evidence
Conservatives don't get progressive ideas, so fear them
Fascists, in addition, want to kill them
