Fears grow that 'clown-like' Trump could achieve fascist goals despite gross incompetence - Alex Wagner - MSNBC

For as long as Donald Trump has been on the political scene, analysts have struggled with how much of his performance to take seriously. But as Election Day races closer and polls remain tight even as Trump rhetoric becomes more extreme and his supporters become more radicalized, more people are realizing that no matter how big a buffoon Trump may be the risks of him taking power and abusing that power are significant and worrisome. - Aired on 10/11/2024.

We both seem to be posting the same MSNBC clips at the same time. It is an important story. Mark Milley is calling out Trump as a fascist. People need to know. This is not a normal election. It is democracy versus fascism.

He's actually threatened those he perceives as enemies with death - and this sends a message to his unhinged "supporters." That's what he does - as he did on January 6th - and we also know that he was prevented from using the U.S. military by those in his previous administration. But this time around he's jettisoned all of those in favor of those like Gym Jordan - who Liz Cheney said in her book cares nothing about rules and laws and believes that all that matters is "winning."
