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.

    Uhm akschually it can only be called fascism if it originates in 1920s Germany. Otherwise its just sparkling totalitarianism.

      Is there some pop culture reference that I’m unaware of, or why are you talking nonsense?

        The reference is to Champagne and Sparkling Wine

        US decided they can call their Sparkling Wine Champagne because people were choosing the foreign product
