Yale philosopher and scholar of propaganda Jason Stanley, author of “How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them,” says President Trump built a cult of personality within the Republican Party and has moved the United States steadily into authoritarianism during his term. “Fascism is a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of supposed threats by leftist radicals, minorities and immigrants,” Stanley says. “He promises only he can save us.”
