Welcome back to another episode of Elsie's Little Pickles. This week, we're diving deep into a topic that's more relevant than ever: fascism. With our special guest, Colton, a political science major and one of the smartest minds on politics, we're dissecting the nuances of fascism and its alarming parallels with the current political climate, particularly the MAGA movement.
We start with a discussion on the absence of Kiefer, who is on the road, and introduce Colton. The conversation kicks off with a critical look at the Democratic National Convention and its handling of various issues. We then transition into a detailed analysis of fascism, drawing on definitions and insights from experts like Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Umberto Eco.
This episode is rich with insights, from the cult of tradition to the othering of various groups, and how these elements play into the current political landscape. We also touch on the role of Christian nationalism and the potential impact of a Trump loss on the church and American society.
Join us for this eye-opening discussion, and stay tuned for part two, where we'll delve further into Umberto Eco's 14 points of fascism and draw more connections to today's political climate.
Don't miss this crucial episode that sheds light on the stakes of the upcoming election and the future of American democracy.
