A PRRI survey out Wednesday shows that nearly a quarter of Americans support political violence heading into the 2024 presidential election, as an overwhelming majority believe democracy is at risk.

    The word fascist gets used so much I like to try to get an idea where someone stands. For example what’s the difference between a fascist and an ultranationalist? Is there one? There are economic components to some fascist countries but not others. Italian fascists stressed creating a fundamentally new society. Other fascist countries didn’t stress that (Franco for example). Does a party have to have single party rule? Fascist Italy and Germany had as a cornerstone territorial expansion. Is that necessary to be authentically fascist?

      This will lead to a conversation.

      I find people typically mean “racist who wants to use individual or institutional force to create a white, Christian government that eliminates or marginalized racial, cultural, and sexual minorities”. Or whatever.
