    Finally waking up, are we?

    Many of the signs mentioned in the article have been present since Trump’s first term. It seems like this writer was in denial and needed them to be in fully fleshed-out form to accept them for what they are.

    American centrists are exhausting. At least they are getting with the programme.

    Sorry, but that it took this long to admit it - along with the whining & deflecting preface defending his resistance to doing so all this time - shows he’s just as full of arrogant pride as any MAGAt, IMHO.

      Someone can be wrong without being ‘just as bad as a magat’. In fact, the vast majority of humans are far better than magats.

    Well, when you don’t know what fascism is, I guess you could miss all the signs. I mean, all it takes is a high school understanding of 20th century history to make the connection…but sure, I get it. Reading is hard, even for journalists.
