What is Fascism? Rejection of democracy in favor of a strongman depends on galvanizing popular rage.

Strength, violence, and the heroic warrior are centered on male power. These five elements find exact expression in Trump and the White Christian National movement he is encouraging. It is also the direction most of the Republican Party is now heading."I am your retribution"
