Episode notes
Defining "Fascism" by Actions
- The label "fascist" is often debated but should be grounded in specific actions such as undermining democracy or resisting power transfer.
- Examples like attempts to overturn elections or threatening the media define authoritarian tendencies better than labels.
Electoral Slate Precedents Explained
- Historical precedents on electors exist, like in the 1960 Hawaii election, where uncertified electors voted amid recounts.
- However, Trump's attempts in 2020 differed as evidence shows uncertified electors tried to be counted after the recounts concluded.
Social Media Censorship Debate
- Both Biden and Trump administrations pressured social media, but Biden's administration was accused of more systematic censorship.
- Zuckerberg stated the DOJ pressured Facebook to censor information, showing potential government influence on social platforms.
