Authoritarianism in America: A Critical Examination

This chapter critically explores the rise of authoritarianism within the American political landscape, specifically focusing on the labeling of Donald Trump as a fascist. It delves into the historical characteristics of fascism, the normalization of extreme rhetoric, and the implications for contemporary political discourse and elections. Through analysis of language surrounding immigration and historical parallels, the chapter raises urgent concerns about the effective use of such labels in modern politics.
