..."On Trump’s “most pro-life president” claim, 38% of Haley supporters say it makes them less likely to support Trump, while 20% of DeSantis supporters and 4% of Trump supporters say the same.

The former president's supporters take little issue with most of his recent statements: Just two resulted in more than 10% of Trump supporters saying the remarks make them less likely to support him.

Trump having “no choice” but to lock up his opponents resulted in 12% of his supporters saying it makes them less likely to support him; his suggestion that “fraud” in the 2020 election justified terminating parts of the Constitution causes the most concern, with 22% of his supporters saying it makes them less likely to support him."

What Fascism Looks Like When it Comes into Power :

In 1979, when al-Bakr attempted to unite Iraq and Syria, in a move that would have left Saddam effectively powerless, Saddam forced al-Bakr to resign, and on July 16, 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq. Less than a week later, he called an assembly of the Ba'ath Party.”

1.) This is American fascism

Like Mussolini’s March on Rome and Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch, Donald Trump’s Insurrection is the beginning of years of street violence.

2.) The far right
America is now in fascism’s legal phase

The history of racism in the US is fertile ground for fascism. Attacks on the courts, education, the right to vote and women’s rights are further steps on the path to toppling democracy

3.) The Five Stages of Fascism*
Robert O. Paxton
Columbia University

1.)Intellectual exploration, where disillusionment with popular democracy manifests itself in discussions of lost national vigor

2.)Rooting, where a fascist movement, aided by political deadlock and polarization, becomes a player on the national stage

3.)Arrival to power, where conservatives seeking to control rising leftist opposition invite the movement to share power

4.)Exercise of power, where the movement and its charismatic leader control the state in balance with state institutions such as the police and traditional elites such as the clergy and business magnates.

5.)Radicalization or entropy, where the state either becomes increasingly radical, as did Nazi Germany, or slips into traditional authoritarian rule, as did Fascist Italy.
