Journalist and author of ‘To Catch a Fascist’ Christopher Mathias joins me to discuss the state of the American far right.

We talk about what laid the groundwork for these political conditions, we compare Trump 1.0 & 2.0… and we also discuss the role that mainstream media & the Democrats have played in the rising tide of American fascism. All that and more on this episode of The Global Far Right.
