Chomsky said it. Scahill said it. Now this article reiterates it.
"In short, as the two contenders with a chance to win the presidential
race, Biden and Trump are offering a choice between neo-liberalism and
neo-fascism. To hear a small but significant portion of the U.S. left tell it
these days, that's not a meaningful choice. Some say preventing the
re-election of Trump isn't important. That amounts to ignoring political
reality, an evasion with potentially vast consequences."
"'We should make no mistake,' longtime progressive journalist Juan González said days ago, 'that this country is edging closer and closer to neo-fascist authoritarianism.' That reality doesn't stop some on the left from evading it—preferring
to conflate the two major parties to a degree akin to denial. [...] But here's a key point: People who deny or downplay the real threat of
neo-fascism consolidating itself via Trump's re-election are, in effect,
serving as enablers for the forces of the virulent extreme right that
already controls so much of the U.S. government."
