Host Reed Galen is joined by Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins, Assistant Professor in the College of Social Studies at Wesleyan University. They discuss the use of the term 'fascism' in the current political climate and the historical comparisons often cited, what sort of fascism has occurred in America, and whether or not Donald Trump should be considered a fascist? Plus, why democracy is so fragile and requires regular maintenance to prevent the rise of authoritarianism.
