We are in the middle of Trump's radicalization towards fascism
Historian Federico Finchelstein, in an interview with Yahoo News, discusses former President Donald Trump's abuse of power and its fascist elements, drawing parallels to historical fascist regimes. Finchelstein, an expert on fascism, argues that Trump's actions, such as his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his incitement of the January 6th Capitol riot, reflect fascist tactics aimed at undermining democracy. He emphasizes that while Trump's fascism is not identical to historical examples like Nazi Germany or Mussolini's Italy, it shares key characteristics such as the use of violence, propaganda, and the erosion of democratic norms. Finchelstein warns that Trump's continued influence poses a significant threat to American democracy, urging vigilance and resistance against fascist tendencies.
