It doesn’t have to be murdering people to still be closer to fascism than they were, and worse for America (and therefore troubling).
Populism =\= fascism, I agree, I also didn’t say that and I’m not sure why people think I did. Trumps administration is closer to fascism than previous administrations and by a long shot. Is it really shocking people have a visceral and negative reaction, such that they think about the worst case scenario as a possibility? I don’t think it’s right to outright dismiss concern for what this could eventually become, even if we’re not there yet.
Hell nobody thought trump would get elected, yet here we are. Nobody thought he’d be this bad. Yet here we are... closer on the spectrum.
