Who does the far-right prey upon? Immigrants, people of color, drag queens, the LQBTQ+. Except for the 2nd amendment, everything the right does involves curtailing rights, not expanding them. And the 2nd amendment is only an exception because they want to be able to prepare for physical violence if threats and property damage don't accomplish their goals. The only way that the right can maintain power is by limiting the rights of the people. The only way that they can win an election is by controlling who is able to vote. You spoke earlier about communism needing authoritarianism to maintain control; we are seeing that right here in our own country, except it's not the communists; it's the "patriots."
