I value fairness above most things so in my effort to find out how much mainstream media knew, but didn’t report to us, I found an interesting counter-point on fascism as it pertains to the GOP candidate for president.

The value in recognizing his rhetoric as fascist is in understanding what he and many of his activist supporters are saying, rather than just passing it off as crazy talk. That perception has driven us nuts questioning the sanity of his broad support. That’s clearly wrong and divides us.
So while this is an excellent opinion piece and nails his character, I think it’s a distinction without a difference.
