As if confronting Trump to tell him – and the world – that being a fascist is a thing of the past hasn’t become itself a thing of the recent past, the American press are now turning their sights to Europe and trying to do much the same.
It’s the turn of the Germans to bring out a result in their national elections, and the sights of American writers have turned to penning rebukes about Nazism on the rise of the AFD. It’s apparently the same issue with immigration and how racist it must be to speak against it.
As vain as it may be to be employed at some press outlets today, one might wonder how long it is until they realise that politics is always a messy business, and their icons and hero’s have also fraternised with dicey figures themselves.
