Is America (and Europe) descending into fascism? And can the term ever be applicable outside the specific historical context of interwar Europe? To review the "fascism debate" of Trump I and revisit it given the political shifts in the US and Europe since 2020, Ted speaks with Daniel Bessner of the American Prestige podcast. Danny is a firm "no" and he tries to stop Ted from drifting into the "yes" camp. Listen and decide for yourself.
Read Danny's piece in TNR here: https://newrepublic.com/article/170890/does-american-fascism-exist
For one of the prominent "yes" voices, see John Ganz here: https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-march-on-rome-one-century-later
See the meme Ted made that (re)started the conversation: https://x.com/ted_knudsen/status/1899556117916573975
