The damage the fascist moment did to our political discourse is hard to measure at this
point. But we know that many in media, government, and academic circles hurt their own reputations. They also demonstrated the limits of their own influence. Trump was asked about the effect the election has had on the most dedicated anti-Trump voices. “I think they’re disrespected,” Trump answered. “I think they’re not taken so seriously. … They were totally opposed to me. … They were opposed to me at levels never seen before … and I won.”
