The Western Journal: Trump Just Saved Us from the Path to True American Fascism
The recent 2024 presidential election was framed as a choice between fascism and freedom, with Donald Trump emerging as the victor.

The piece contends that Trump's promises of freedom and lower taxes contrast sharply with Harris's proposals for price controls and gun regulations, which the author claims reflect autocratic tendencies. Ultimately, it suggests that Trump's election has temporarily averted a shift towards a more centralized government structure.
