Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social and cultural life of the state. Why? The democratic way of life interferes with their methods and desires for: (1) conducting business; (2) living with their fellow-men; (3) having the final say in matters concerning others, as well as themselves. The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence--democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he’s told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law. They make their own rules and change them when they choose. If you don’t like it, it’s “T.S.”

In late 2016, just a few weeks after Donald Trump won his first presidential election,Teen Vogue published a story that set the internet ablaze: “Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America.”

....

Now, nearly a decade since that “Gaslighting America” story, Trump is once again in the White House and Teen Vogue as it was once known is gone.
