The problem with what Fraser and others like her say is that they assume, without evidence, that a mass base for proto-fascism in the US is a reaction to “neoliberalism” and (progressive) “financialization.” Actually, it’s been there all along. It definitely predates “neoliberalism.” I’m old enough to remember.

The other problem with their assumption is that “neoliberalism” and “financialization” describe processes that have been going on for decades. There’s something definitely wrong about attempts to explain Trumpism as a sudden delayed-for-decades response to that.
