Fascism Defined

Fascism is a far-right political ideology that emphasizes the importance of the nation and the state. Fascists believe that the individual is subordinate to the state and that the state should have absolute control over all aspects of life.

Fascism often involves the use of violence, intimidation, and propaganda to suppress dissent and maintain control. Fascist regimes typically suppress free speech, the free press, and other civil liberties.

The Rise of Fascism in the GOP

The Republican Party has been moving in an increasingly fascist direction for several decades. This trend has accelerated in recent years, with the election of Donald Trump as president.

Trump and his allies have repeatedly attacked the free press, the judiciary, and other institutions that are essential to a functioning democracy. They have also sought to suppress the vote and undermine the rule of law.

The GOP's embrace of fascism is not simply a matter of rhetoric. It is also reflected in the party's policies and actions. For example, the GOP has passed laws that restrict voting rights, gerrymander electoral districts, and make it harder for unions to organize.

The Implications for American Democracy

The rise of fascism within the Republican Party is a grave threat to American democracy. If the GOP is successful in its efforts to subvert democracy, it will mean the end of American freedom and the rule of law.

We must resist the GOP's fascist agenda at all costs. We must defend our democratic institutions, protect our civil liberties, and promote a more just and equitable society.

What You Can Do

There are a number of things you can do to help resist the GOP's fascist agenda:

• Vote in every election, and encourage others to do the same.
• Support organizations that are fighting to protect democracy and civil liberties.
• Speak out against fascism and authoritarianism.
• Educate yourself and others about the dangers of fascism.
• Be a role model for others by showing that you believe in democracy and the rule of law.

The future of American democracy is in our hands. We must act now to defend our freedoms and protect our way of life.
