8:27Now PlayingIn this provocative commentary, political commentator Luke Thomas explores whether the United States—under the influence of the Trump movement—is exhibiting traits of authoritarianism or even fascism. Drawing on Umberto Eco’s "14 Points of Fascism" and recent scholarship on competitive authoritarianism, Luke unpacks the troubling signs of democratic erosion, executive overreach, and rising political repression. He also reflects on the MAGA base’s split reaction to these trends—some celebrating them, others denying their existence entirely.
