Is America (and Europe) descending into fascism? And can the term ever be applicable outside the specific historical context of interwar Europe? To review the "fascism debate" of Trump I and revisit it given the political shifts in the US and Europe since 2020, Ted speaks with <a href="https://x.com/dbessner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Daniel Bessner</a> of the <a href="https://americanprestige.supportingcast.fm/listen">American Prestige</a> podcast. Danny is a firm "no" and he tries to stop Ted from drifting into the "yes" camp. Listen and decide for yourself.Read Danny&#39;s piece in TNR here: <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/170890/does-american-fascism-exist">https://newrepublic.com/article/170890/does-american-fascism-exist</a>For one of the prominent "yes" voices, see John Ganz here: <a href="https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-march-on-rome-one-century-later">https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-march-on-rome-one-century-later</a>See the meme Ted made that (re)started the conversation: <a href="https://x.com/ted_knudsen/status/1899556117916573975">https://x.com/ted_knudsen/status/1899556117916573975</a>*****Follow Spaßbremse on Twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/spassbremse_pod">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@spassbremse_pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>).
