Debate reignites over identifying fascism in American politics
Original: Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. # fascism # uspol #
Commentators in US political discussions are circulating the warning that fascism is difficult to identify and analyze, and harder still to destroy once it holds power. The line, framed against hashtags on fascism, US politics, history and propaganda, is being used to argue that Americans should study historical authoritarian movements closely rather than assume they would be obvious or easy to reverse.
Why now: Ongoing concerns in US political discourse that authoritarian or fascist tendencies are emerging in American governance
