The problem isn’t Trump or fascism, it’s democracy itself

This guest column, written by PG on Crimethinc eight years ago, just after Trump was elected, pound out that “Fascism is Obsolete, Whiteness is Here to Stay”: https://crimethinc.com/2016/12/13/feature-does-trump-represent-fascism-or-white-supremacy

While that is a good point, I do believe it’s correct to call Trump a fascist: https://crimethinc.com/2016/12/16/counterpoint-yes-trump-represents-fascism even though that label might not be very useful as pointed out by PG and Robert Paxton: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/magazine/robert-paxton-facism.html

We are fucked no matter who wins

The idea that Trump could return to the White House is terrifying. Even if he doesn’t win the election, the fact that it was so close says everything, not just about the US but about the world we live in. Fascism is on the rise everywhere and I don’t even know what to say. Really depressing world we live in. And Gaza and Climate Change and the general state of affairs.
