      I think it’s worth setting aside terminological questions and asking instead whether, if he had ruled within a system that allowed him to perpetrate the same kind of evil that fascists perpetrated, Trump would have done it, and I think the answer is clearly yes.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1350950978820964358 …

      My big comparative history thought on the Trump fascism debate is that Europeanists & Americanists were talking past each other & there should probably be a conference bringing together students of fascism & USA far right.

      When people call Trump a fascist, and his most violent supporters fascists, that’s what they mean. And it’s a completely reasonable way to use language.

      There’s a mishmash of folks who are being pedantic about this point for self-serving reasons—e.g. I’m not as hysterical as THOSE progressives throwing around the f-word. But they’re obscuring more than they’re clarifying.https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-is-leaving-but-american-fascism-is-just-getting-its-boots-on …

      That's true of a narrow online debate. But in real world politics, Bernie and AOC have called Trump a fascist while as far as I can tell Biden and Pelosi have avoided that language.

          I do buy this. The left’s most important voices are their legislators. Not as much their posters!

          Yes, but Biden and Pelosi refraining is all about being a leader of an entire party/caucus, and having to preside over the needs of disparate factions, while also attempting to persuade centrist Rs on matters from time to time. Plus, they have both condemned Trump plenty.

          Yeah Matt's view on this is Too Online. It's only correct if you think the Bruenigs represent all socialists.
