Fascism is not a word we throw around lightly, but it is the reality we are facing if Trump wins a second term.
- It doesn't just mean right-wing extremism; instead, fascism is a well-defined set of ideas that center on providing a dictatorial leader with enormous power
- while also ... Rejecting democracy and the rule of law.
By refusing to accept the results of the 2020 election, Trump has already made it clear that he does not believe in our democracy.
