“I was very clear when laying out and defining what MAGA Republicans have done and you look at the definition of fascism and you think about what they're doing in attacking our democracy. ... That is what that is. It is very clear," Jean-Pierre told a press briefing.
MAGA refers to Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Fascism is a political philosophy that exalts nation and often race above the individual and supports an autocratic government led by a dictatorial leader involving the forced suppression of opposition, U.S. dictionary Merriam-Webster says.
Or Party. Party over nation Fascism in Germany began with the Nazi Party which became synonymous with German nationhood. Or individual. That is the great parallel between Trumpist fascism and Nazi (or Italian) fascism. The party and the nation become subsumed in the Leader. True: During Hitler’s rule Germans didn’t answer the phone “Hallo”, they answered it “Heil Hitler.”
Trumpism IS fascism and I am glad that the president and his spokesperson are calling a brown pig a brown pig.
