The Trump presidency was infamous for a myriad of reasons, one of them being his perpetuation of a post-fascist rationale that sought to deeply divide people. How does an ideology, sharing a namesake with the likes of Hitler and Mussolini, reincarnate into this modern form? Hosts Liam Clifford and Yousuf Hasan speak with Political Science Master's student Hunter Blue on how the forty-fifth US President adapted a twentieth-century dogma to the present day and manipulated it to suit his own nefarious ends. The discussion that follows makes harrowing connections to the atrocities of the past and raises the existential question over the health of Western democracy.
