For all of those writing articles announcing that Donald Trump has now officially become or embraced “fascism”, I regret to inform you that there’s really no clear definition of fascism, much as the harder left and right has imagined otherwise for decades. In any case, labels hardly seem relevant. What is relevant is that roughly a third of the voters Republicans will need to win the presidency next year now support Trump – this version of Trump, a candidate running a campaign which is increasingly open in its racism and militant in its nonsense.
