Mexican Newspaper Warns About the Rise of Fascism in the US

Published 4 January 2022 (6 hours 35 minutes ago)


The revival of fascist manifestations in the United States under the administration of former President Donald Trump was an issue raised on Tuesday by the Mexican daily La Jornada, its correspondent in New York, David Brooks, reported.

The reporter warned that, at present, the survival of American democracy is the main topic of the everyday national debate in which the fundamental principle of that system, the will of the majority, does not necessarily prevail.

He added that neither at its presidential elections, such as in 2016 and 2000, nor in national policies.

For example, according to surveys, most people favor actions to fight climate change, raise minimum wages, invest in infrastructure, a migration reform that includes a way to nationalize undocumented immigrants and the legalization of marihuana, among other things.
