Half the country sees former President Donald Trump as a fascist, amplifying concerns raised in recent days by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump’s own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris.

Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, again more than say so about Harris. But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn’t intend to carry out – underscoring challenges for both candidates as the fur flies in their increasingly heated presidential race.

    My understanding from my remaining MAGA friend is that they’re fed a steady diet of “liberals believe crazy theories” all day long from all the sources they’re allowed. e.g. if liberals believe a thing there’s absolutely no way it can be true.

    Now the fact that this circumvents reason and agency are (apparently) irrelevant.

      This kind of thinking is what will be the downfall of humanity. Already is happening.
