Comment on tired of everything being about america

  Fascism is notoriously difficult to define. There’s a huge amount of contention on it among historians, but one definition I like is Rodger Griffin’s. In his definition the core ideology of fascism is

  (i) the rebirth myth (ii) populist ultra-nationalism (iii) the myth of decadence

  I think the MAGA movement pretty transparently meets all 3. The rebirth myth is literally in its name, the movement is pretty openly populist and ultra-nationalist, and decadence is how they describe their enemies (e.g. their rhetoric around trans and queer folk).

    I don't know too much about the MAGA movement, as I'm not american, but thanks for sharing your views.
