The dreary Kamala Harris has taken to calling Donald Trump “fascist,” most recently in an interview this week with a popular radio host. She is not the only one—Gen. Mark Milley, who headed the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump’s presidency, has done the same—but this is the kind of silliness that the ruling class tells itself about any right-of-center politician who threatens their settled picture of the world. They say it of Viktor Orbán and other European leaders of the untamed Right. They said it of Trump in 2016 too, of course; somehow, America got through his presidency without brownshirts taking to the streets, or grabbing the Sudetenland.
