US conservatives love to warn of creeping fascism. Do they understand what it is?

There is the matter of serfdom. If the word describes anything in contemporary American life, it is surely the self-subordination of respectable people with ordinary lives to a movement that requires belief in bizarre and incendiary ideas, as well as flagrant offenses against decency. Trump joined this choir as he descended his escalator, announcing in effect liberation from old obligations to generosity or fairness.

Trump has enlisted followers who might very well engage in acts that lead to death and destruction, assuming that some deaths will be their own, and the destruction will befall their own country. This makes sense only if the reward is self-submission, the craving for an identity that supersedes the autonomy of democratic citizenship.

Whole Foods closing their downtown San Francisco store after being open for less than a year.

In that case, the store was just a couple of short blocks from a very large homeless encampment the city set up across from city hall. It has become an attractive nuisance resulting in a sharp increase in crime in the area.
