JP'S Dystopic Journal: Trump's missed opportunity to go fascist.

COVID offered the perfect chance for any world leader to go full authoritarian, if not full-fascist like Trudeau in Canada. Fascism calls for a supremely strong central government. So, what did Trump do? He let the country’s federalist system work, and allowed the sates, not the central government to make the calls. Some states did go the authoritarian route, those were almost entirely blue (Democrat) states. A true fascist would mandate such things as inoculations and mask wearing. Trump didn’t but his successor did to the greatest extent he could.
