A brilliant piece by #TimothyDSnyder for the npub1xt95egzv5wsg5al5x2x8fzrh9jg0qhkg7rwjtdtm33vtsmyet2mqt29zf2 (npub1xt9…9zf2) that asks what it means that Trump is a fascist - what it means for society, for civil discourse, for institutions, for the American people, and for the world.
"Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions."
Perhaps the most cutting remark?
That the American people themselves have democratically elected a fascist, without understanding that he is, indeed, a fascist, and that institutions, through their actions, have normalised Trump, normalised his divisive, misogynist, racist, incendiary rhetoric, and normalised his policy positions.
"Fascism can be defeated, but not when we are on its side".
