I’m so glad that he never invited the Seahawks to the White House.

This has always been part of the GOP playbook: Downplay incidents of right-wing violence, and then repurpose them as supposed acts of leftist terrorism for public consumption. They first did this in 2020.

BTW, in case anyone drops by looking for me: I’m now over at the place where the skies are blue.
No longer providing free content for a neofascist billionaire who wants to end democracy.

@DavidNeiwert trump is a fascist, but first of all he is a mentally ill narcissist weaponized and employed by true fascists - russians, musk, thiel etc. It is important to understand that he is only the tool, and the problem won’t go away after he loses the elections.

Recent revelations about Trump’s fondness for Hitler are really all piece of the same picture, one that no longer really is a puzzle. Trump can deny his affinity for fascism, but the record is already firmly established. 17/17

The subsequent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by Proud Boys and other right-wing extremists from the MAGA world made irrevocably clear that Trump had, in fact, become the full-blown leader of an American form of fascism. 16/17 https://t.co/zCY0BXjxmZ

All those objections have subsequently vanished. Trump has increasingly allowed white nationalists into his inner circle. And when he told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by,” he clearly was claiming command of their ranks. 15/17

Finally, I should note that the key trait that was absent in my 2016 assessment of Trump’s fascist qualities was the fact that he did not claim to command paramilitary shock troops, and he kept white nationalists at arm’s length. 14/17

Eco also notes how the fascist embrace of action for action’s sake also requires contempt for intellectual prowess: “Thinking is a form of emasculation.” 13/17

Consider some of the other many identifiable traits of fascism that figure prominently in Trumpworld. Umberto Eco links it closely with a cult of traditionalism that rejects modernism. So now Trump harkens back to 1798 as America’s golden age: 12/17

This also plays a major role in another key trait Trump shares with fascists: his unrepentant misogyny. Here’s how Ofstad describes it: 11/17 https://t.co/XgEZE8mAls

A core shared trait of fascists throughout history is their “contempt for weakness,” as Harald Ofstad explored in the 1950s. This contempt is one of Trump’s calling cards, as when he says he prefers soldiers who weren’t wounded or captured, or when he mocks disabled people. 10/17

Similarly, Trump’s embrace of eliminationism is another key identifying trait, especially since ethnic and political genocide was the most infamous byproduct of fascist rule. See Trump’s mass deportation plan. 9/17

Trump’s right-wing authoritarianism—also thoroughly established—is another trait that further fills out the fascist portrait. 8/17

Like me, Paxton was reluctant to label Trump a full-bore fascist—until Jan. 6 happened. Now, he says it’s unmistakable. 7/17

Griffin explained this in simpler terms in his written definition: a “modern political ideology that seeks to regenerate the social, economic, and cultural life of a country by basing it on a heightened sense of national belonging or ethnic identity.” 5/17 https://t.co/Zw2f9aZE3

Some of the ways he fits are obvious. His core slogan—“Make America Great Again”—is probably the closest imaginable manifestation of Roger Griffin’s definition of fascism as “palingenetic ultranationalist populism” (palingenesis is the myth of phoenix-like national rebirth). 4/17

Trump however still manages to fit all these definitions, taken from different angles. And while at one time I concluded that he didn’t fully meet the description, over the years, his words and actions have fleshed it all out in full. 3/17

Defining fascism is not easy. Its constituent parts change over time, especially in the process of shifting from nascent to mature fascism. Various scholars have tried different approaches, as I explained long ago in this assemblage of definitions. 2/17

1) Donald Trump’s press conference Wednesday, and the responses to it, are an important and perhaps historic moment, beyond the controversy. It made irrevocably clear that Trump intends to rule as an authoritarian, and his followers want that. Ridiculously long thread follows. ht
