As the United States faces the radical uncertainty of a second Trump administration, we believe the time will be ripe for a thorough evaluation of what his second presidency will mean, and of the conduct of the 2024 campaign. The campaign itself was dominated in its closing argument by this label, especially in an article backed by quotes from John Milley, but also led to fears of minimisation of fascism and political polarisation. This debate will discuss whether the label of 21st-century fascist is fitting to Trump or too extreme.
