« An actual fascist has shown up. »
— Tom Nichols, writer on international affairs and retired academic at the US Naval War College, describing Donald Trump on Amanpour and Company at PBS.
He tells Michel Martin that he had previously been reluctant to use the word fascist because he's an academic who can be very picky about words. But over the past couple of months Trump has been using different vocabulary than before and that vocabulary has been lifted almost directly from fascists in the 1930s.
An excellent conversation.
What he says about the "normalcy bias" in the media should particularly be taken seriously.
We need to be more activist in calling out the media on their normalization of Trump.
