Dear Mr. Podesta:

I was not alarmed by the violence in Ohio last night
as much as I was by the reactions and particularly
by the arguments of Trump's supporters. Some of
the CNN people made me think that Turner doen't
reason any more or that he has always been simply
fascist.

I believe that you are facing an extremely dangerous
possibility because Trump's fascism is based on an
authoritarianism audience that cannot reason and is
a high percentage of the population. I wonder if it
has not become inevitable to begin denouncing his
fascist strategies and tendencies.

He does not explain any of his promises, he corrects
himself if something does not turn out to be convenient
and he evades any possible criticism by talking about
his basic positions like bringing back production from
China as if the owners of the companies producing
there could simply be told to go back to the States
where they will make more profits. Who is going to
make the owners of Jockey make the shorts in the
States and who is going to give orders to Dupont
or Nabisco? Establishing new competing companies
in the States would take at least ten years or more.

On the other hand, consciously or out of utterly
devious passion, Sanders is also resorting to
fascist strategies but in simple, understandable
language, and the ceaseless repetition of the
same words is an old Goebbels tactic, whether
he knows or not, but it is beginning to appear
destructive for Mrs. Clinton. I feel that she
could repeatedly play around with the praises
of Cuban health services and education but
always stressing that they are an achievment
of a dictatorship, that the American people
do not want to sacrifice freedom and justice
over night for universal free health services.

On the other hand, she or somebody else in
her retinue could play with the fact that Sanders
is making the people believe that his revolution
is going to be God's gift because otherwise he
would have to organize an armed revolution.
Who has the power to put and end to Wall
Street? Does he want an America without
millionaires. None of the promises he repeats
once and again can be kept without a power
that a President of the United States does not
have. Is he going to decide that Congress is
going to approve by asking the people to make
telephone calls to the representatives and to
the senators?

For your own knowledge in case that you did
not feel much interest for the subject, I am
attaching a few things about a "Trumpish"
fascism that used the same strategies and
means.

I hope these messages do not become
disagreable to you, but I do worry about the
use of military force, and because I have
family in the United States who have nothing
to do with politics and I do not want them to
be "Trumped".

Sincerely,

D. Fábrega
