==Article on American fascism==
An article by ''Louie Dean Valencia-García'', Assistant Professor of Digital History at [[Texas State University]], published mid January 2021, headlines: "'''This is American fascism''' - Like Mussolini’s March on Rome and Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch, Donald Trump’s Insurrection is the beginning of years of street violence."<br>
She concludes the article:
{{SMWQ
|text=Fascism and conspiratorial thinking have seeped into the minds of millions of Americans. If we compare [[Mussolini]]’s [[March on Rome]] and [[Hitler]]’s [[Beer Hall Putsch]] to [[Donald Trump]]’s Insurrection we should be reminded that the former examples were only the beginning of years of street violence. We can’t address this problem until we call it by its name: [[fascism]].
