Donald Trump’s second administration, if one could call it that, was the sum of all fears for those who predicted that the most lawless president in American history would steer the nation deep into fascist territory if given the opportunity. Trump 2.0’s major priorities included retribution against Trump’s opponents and perceived enemies and personal enrichment for him, his family, and friends. The United States had been down similar paths before yet the constitutional guardrails held. In 2025, the guardrails collapsed, one after the other. Rather than being a bastion for liberty, America became a stronghold for fascist police tactics; brutal mass deportation based on racial and ethnic appearance, routine constitutional violations, press restrictions, censorship and book bans, crackpot medical advice, and corporate grab bags. This book takes the reader through the history of America’s opposition to fascism, from the 1920s and 30s to the modern era and provides solace in the fact that Americans are not alone in a world where they have many allies,
