Its no longer hyperbole or angry overstatement to say that Donald Trump and his supporters are leading the United States into a period of undeniable fascism. Regardless of your party affiliation, you should be worried and resist a leader who attacks the media solely because they disagree with his actions. Describing the media as the enemy of the people is nearly unimaginable. Banning The New York Times and CNN from news briefings is a brazen form of controlling information.

Read history and be warned; this is how fascism begins. If you are a Trump supporter, please pressure your elected officials to tell the White House to honor the First Amendment. Otherwise it could well be your expression thats throttled next.
