Donald Trump and American Fascism?
The Donald has done it again, winning decisively in South Carolina. Back in July, I wrote this article on Trump and how he was tapping a "fascist spring" in American politics. Since then, he's vilified Muslims as well as Mexicans, called for torture, made fun of women, mocked a reporter with a physical disability, and on and on. At the same time, he keeps promising to make America big and bad again -- a promise he doubtless intends to keep.
I've heard people say that Trump will change if he becomes president. Even Trump claims he'd be a different man in the Oval Office. Don't believe it. Trump is what he is: a demagogue and a chauvinist who enjoys scapegoating the vulnerable. Presidential he is not; dangerous he is.
