A president who takes power from the Congress is a president who will take power from the courts, which makes a president a dictator. He told us he’d do this yet stupid, greedy ignorant people voted for him anyway.

Quick emergency pod on what's happening out there. A US administration basically just ticking off the checklist you'd find in any book on fascism and a broadcast media which seems intent on normalising it.
🚨New episode out🚨 Can we call it fascism yet? @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social respond to the disturbing displays at Trump's inauguration and the many similarities with fascist parties of the past.
