"The fact is, of course, that Trump is completely, ludicrously wrong about what’s going on in Portland. He has been for nearly a month, ever since he watched a deceptively edited Fox News segment that depicted the city as a war zone. And his advisers have apparently been complicit in his hoodwinking."

"The word is fascism. Use it to describe Trump’s regime. If it behaves like a fascist, talks like a fascist, & relies on the strategies and talking points of fascists, then it probably is the Trump Administration increasingly going fascist to stay in power."
