"[O]ne of the great unexplained phenomena of modern astronomy: namely, that the dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe." - Tom Wolfe

I've heard this paraphrased as "...descending on the Right, yet lands only on the Left".

The Left/Right dichotomy being a pleasant smokescreen for the elitist/populist friction that is simply the human experience.

Note this is from 2024... before the election

Thanks, edit to the title!

It reached the title cap on the free HN plan unfortunately

Small suggestion - you can edit U.S. to US and gain 2 characters.
