Trump's DOJ wants to deploy 1,000 election monitors for the midterms. But are they all trained personnel? “The same people that you saw on the streets in Minneapolis are the people who I am worried they are going to say are now the monitors from the DOJ,” Marc Elias says.

Dr. Bandy Lee explains why she believes the MAGA movement can be understood through what psychiatry calls a “shared delusion or shared psychosis,” warning that emotionally driven delusions can spread rapidly through a population: “You do not even need physical exposure for the symptoms to spread.”

Fascism always pays heed when members of the Volk complain. The complaints of Jews, Marxists, gays and other Reichsfeinde were ignored in the Third Reich; that was pretty obviously the point. But when Bavarian farmers complained, the Nazis listened. Renee Good’s mother. She is our Bavarian farmer.

If you took my Comparative Fascism class last semester, you learned about autarky. In a phrase, it is economic nationalism. It seeks to end international trade, uses tariffs to promote protectionism, and puts captains of capital squarely in the passenger seat. Once again, friends, Trump is fascist.
