Or to put it another way, if we insist on saying the way the USA functions right now is "fascism", then it might lead a lot of people to think "hey, fascism isn't so bad, what's all the fuss about?".

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
