How Does Anyone Not See the Fascism
OA1077, Part 2 of Matt's MAGA is Fascist series.
The MAGA movement has just taken a hard turn\xa0 to the extreme right with openly fascist messaging from Donald Trump about \u201cmigrant crime,\u201d \u201coccupied cities,\u201d and \u201cbad genes.\u201d\xa0 We take a moment to absorb this alarming reality before Matt also explains how US immigration policy has always been the leading edge of American protofascism--and why Adolf Hitler personally admired it--before taking a look at Trump\u2019s actual 2024 immigration promises and what keeping them would mean for us all.
