Harris’s comments went significantly further than her previous day’s attack on Trump’s increasingly authoritarian rhetoric, when she called him “unstable and unhinged” and “dangerous” in response to his branding of Democratic opponents as “the enemy within”. Trump had also advocated using the military against opponents he accused of plotting “chaos” on election day, although – as an opposition candidate – he has no power to do so.

A newly published book by the journalist Bob Woodward quotes the retired chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, as calling Trump a “total fascist” and “a fascist to the core”.

Bit late in the game, but absolutely fair to say

Biden has categorically refused to, so this is probably the biggest deviation from Biden I have seen from Harris: "Willing to call Trump a fascist."

Incremental change in full demonstration.

Aquí en mi país, vemos a todos los políticos de Estados Unidos como fascistas, desde que vinieron a tumbar al gobierno. Y luego nos llaman república bananera, como si fuera culpa nuestra, ¡si ustedes mismos pusieron a un representante de la United Fruit Company como dictador militar!

What country are you from? It could be many.

I understand why you would say that, but it really depends on who is in charge and who has control of the house and senate. We have windows of non-fascist output.
