If the shirt fits....

Hmmm

The debate over American fascism gets louder.  

Analysis by Ishaan Tharoor in the August 30 Today’s WorldView newsletter of The Washington Post.

In a recent speech by Biden:

“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said, referring to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something — it’s like semi-fascism.”

The GOP goes bonkers.  In light of recent posts, it's worth a read.  Tharoor notes that scholars disagree as to what fascism is, exactly.  It's like we know it when we see it,  but given the variety of its expression, it's hard to pin down with a precise definition.

See: 

*Star-Spangled Fascism*

A high opinion of oneself or one's importance

See this one about CPAC using an Odal rune-shaped stage.  The Odal rune being a favorite of neo-Nazis.  It also mentions a Trump campaign Facebook ad using an inverted red triangle to illustrate an attack on antifa and liberal enemies.  Like the yellow Star of David for Jews, the triangle was used to identify political prisoners in Nazi concentration camps.

Then there was the time the Trump campaign used an image of soldiers....in Nazi-era German uniforms.
