Two tipping points reshape America: fascism fears and a surge of solidarity
TL;DR
Robert Reich argues America is at two tipping points: a slide toward a Trump-era fascist police state—exemplified by aggressive federal agents, lies, and expanded state power—and a parallel rise in nationwide solidarity, as communities organize mutual aid, monitor authorities, and defend democratic norms. While some Republicans are leaving the party, Reich sees the second tipping point as a potential counterweight that could outlast the authoritarian turn and push America toward governance by the people.
