Sam Goldman, RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board Convict Trump in the Senate Impeachment Trial In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America Trump must be repudiated and punished for an attempted fascist coup that brought thousands of his rabid followers to DC on January 6 and unleashed them to storm the Capitol. For months before and after the election, Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and spread unhinged lies about voter fraud. His regime attempted to throw out millions of votes, mainly from Black voters in swing states. All this, including a violent attempt to overturn the election and hold on to power, was in the service of fascism – open bloody dictatorship. Trump must be convicted and barred from coming back to elected office. This would be a real setback to the fascist movement he still leads. The forum will explore: What is the significance of the trial? Why is the demand for Trump’s conviction important? What are the ways this demand should be publicly manifested? What are the implications of conviction/acquittal?   Read this important new article by Coco Das, a contributing editor of RefuseFascism.org: The “Left” Coalition That Kept You Off the Streets and Won’t Stop Fascism "We voted a fascist out of power. But we did not, and cannot, just vote away fascism. The people of this country will have to fully confront this danger and find the means to publicly repudiate and stop a still-powerful American fascist movement – even if the so-called progressive coalition doesn’t want us to."
