Harris is done as America doesn’t care about Trump’s fascism
The Democratic candidate is correct that the republic is in danger, but that message may not be enough to prevent the former president from returning to the White House.
Edward LuceColumnistHere is the thing about Donald Trump’s neo-fascism, ethnonationalism and the threat he poses to democracy: however you label his prejudices, US voters who do not have an opinion on this subject never will. Or at least not until it is too late.
Perhaps this is because this critical but tiny share of undecided voters think Trump is all bark and no bite. Maybe they are betting he would be fascistic to others, just not towards them. Possibly they are so bored of politics that they have no clue what Trump has been saying.
