On this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we discuss both the RNC, it’s open drift into fascism, the Republican party’s embrace of far-Right and reactionary white identity politics, and what this means for the 2020 election and beyond.

Looking at the events in Kenosha as a turning point, we also touch on what is means that much of Trump world is now embracing Kyle Rittenhouse as a hero, as Trump doubles-down on conspiracy theories and promotion of far-Right groups.

Increasingly, Trump is setting the stage for escalating conflicts between Trump supporters and anyone who dares to stand up against them, as recent events in Portland and Kenosha show that the State is willing to deputize the far-Right in order to attack social movements on the street.
