All fascists promise a ‘second revolution’

"We're giving the president and his cronies more discretion and shielding them from the consequences of their actions to fight the deep state." I would've thought if anything qualified as "the deep state," it would look exactly like this.

I haven’t read or listened to Parenti’s Fascism, the False Revolution, but I assume it would be relevant to framing Project 2025 as a revolution.

I haven't heard much about this immunity thing, but if someone does something bad at the orders of their regime's leader do they also don't suffer anything or does the leader need to give them a pardon for the illegal things they were told to do?
