Issue resurfaced with John Kelly detailing his thoughts on Trump, where he defined fascism and then used specific examples from his time with Trump to justify the language.
Kelly also confirmed all of the terrible Trump remarks that were in the previous Atlantic articles.
Now, my point is, it's dumb to focus on this as swing voters do not care about this as it is already baked in.
Well, from everything I have read since World History class in high school is that fascism isn't easily defined and that political historians generally just point out some highlights that they can agree on.
I've seen Mark Halperin, in two separate interviews with different people, say that you also have to take into consideration just how much resentment that built up in the Trump administration, such as being fired, or for somebody being chosen over somebody else. I think the Trump administration was full of mean girls.
For those who aren't familiar with Mark Halperin, he's an investigative journalist who used to work for MSNBC until he got MeToo'd. He's been pretty spot on with his reports - since he said back in the 15-16 campaign cycle that he saw a path where Trump could win. He got into some trouble just for saying that.
He's also the one who broke the story about how and when Biden was going to announce that he wouldn't run again. I will take his account if things.
