reading 2024 Ross Barkan and man this has aged terribly
Liberals never tire of invoking fascism when discussing Trump. It’s the same kind of thinking that led some to believe Jan. 6 was a nigh successful coup attempt and not a riot of deranged, delusional, and internet-addled human beings spurred on by hustlers and lunatics. If Trump becomes president again, there is a real threat he will try to remain in office when his term is up. But Trump is not savvy or cutthroat enough to hold power in such a manner. He is not Putin, he is not Xi, and American democracy is not fledgling and new, as Germany’s was in the Weimar years. Trump doesn’t have it in him to become a world-historical dictator, cowing the military-industrial complex and transforming the entire CIA and FBI into his personal army. Liberals want to believe otherwise, either out of a disingenuous need to elevate their own position—think of all the Twitter followers Timothy Snyder and Michael Beschloss have racked up over the last eight years—or a more genuine hatred of Trump borne out of a misreading of history. Or, more accurately, a misunderstanding of what America is—a federalist republic that will never, for better and worse, be dominated by a centralized form of government. Consider the thicket of laws decided by states, cities, counties, towns, and the like, or that the federal government can barely determine what happens in the public schools or in the courts. Fascism is coming here? MSNBC better hope so, if they want their ratings back.
