I don't know how meaningful the question really is, and fuck YouGov, but still thought the data were interesting and vaguely positive.

I do wonder how the question was posed. I don't think many people would openly admit to supporting fascism, but if you broke the question down into certain policy choices I feel like the number would skew higher. But that could just be me.

On the otherhand that would also mean less people are apprehensive about openly admitting they'd support communism, which would be cool.

which is why i count the "don't know" votes as "fascism, but i'm not gonna say that out loud"

At least some of them are "communism, but i'm not gonna say that out loud".

You can do the same thing with communism. A lot of people like the policies, but shy away when you attach the word "communism" to it thanks to decades of indoctrination.
