As a historian and teacher, and as a Jew, I don’t throw around accusations of Nazi and Fascist lightly, but Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy proposals have crossed the line.

Another escalation against the proletariat, although I think that Biden's administration is sanctifying a lot of what Trump did in his previous term, which only gives more ideological unity to increasingly fascistic policies.

    Thank you, that’s exactly what I’m getting at. We can debate about the proportions, but the point is that we’re so much closer to the worst case scenario than anyone thinks, but we’re also not going to all of a sudden jump to 100% overnight. The trajectory is steady, and maybe accelerating, but it’s still going to be incremental until something breaks. It’ll be like climate change, where we’ll only really notice the damage in hindsight.
