...That Trump Is A Fascist And That He's A Real Danger To The Future Of The US And The World? And How Did We Get Here?
The evidence is there, and it's overwhelming:

Carville clearly can't even believe what he's seeing here, and is spitting mad.

Trump's Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, talking about what Kelly said, agreed, saying that Trump “Has those inclinations”:

Former Trump staffer General Mark Milley also recently said that Trump is a fascist.
None of these guys are exactly raging leftists.
-Hint number one: look at what he did and tried to do the first time he was in office, when he didn't even think he'd win, and was completely unprepared, unlike today.
-Hint number two: Consider his attempted coup on J6.
-Hint number three: listen to what he says he wants to do. He's not joking. He said that he'd be a dictator on the first day. He's said he'd like to suspend the constitution. He told a Christian group that if they voted for him this time they'd never have to vote again.
-Hint number four: read Project 2025, which is a blueprint for fascism and Christian nationalism, and don't believe the words of a pathological liar who denies that he knows anything about it.

Naomi Klein is always incisive, and has become an authority on misinformation/disinformation/conspiracy theories.
Who do you think Trump's "Enemies from within" are? -Definitely me. Possibly you. (It's a pretty slippery slope, especially considering how probably purposefully vague the phrase "Enemies from within" is. -Sounds like a modern version of McCarthyism, but scarier, to me) Include any press that have opposed him. All of those "Radical liberals" and supposed Marxists, anyone who ever opposed him or supported his criminal prosecutions. Pro Palestinian protesters. Or really ANY protesters. Whoever he decides is his enemy... It doesn't end. Gosh, starting to sound like a dictator, huh? -The recent supreme court presidential immunity decision doesn't help here at all.
Hint number five: recognize and disregard misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.
Of course part of his cult will deny this, and part of it like him for exactly this reason.

A couple of the many explanations of how we got here with our elections, if not with Trump specifically:
The Electoral college, which has made it so that seven states, and really just a few counties, decide our elections, killing Democracy. No other country has such a system, and it's rooted in racism:

He's definitely a fascist though.
He's always been a racist, and racists are a core element of his supporters.
The lowest common denominator has become pretty damned low at this point.
