Who is really playing with fascism?
Characteristics of fascism: Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism
centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible” leadership who never admits mistakes.
Trump: “I am your retribution”….has never apologized for anything or admitted a mistake.
America first.
Ethnic nationalism over
civic patriotism.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric: claiming illegal immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.
Fascism is characterized by
social unity. “…citizens are
united by heritage and identity, often to the exclusion of other groups.”
State laws banning the teaching of history, diversity, culture, or other topics that don’t conform with the new state narratives.
Banning DEI training in private companies.
Attempting to violently overturn elections in an attempt to retain power.
Fascist much? Maybe.
