Trump's attacks on Ilhan Omar and fascism

"Ilhan Omar's Muslim persona and entry into the halls of power provides an ideal representation of the supposed threat undermining America's power and standing. For Trump and his base, Ilhan's election, arrival in Congress, political courage and visibility are packaged into the much needed right-wing ethos, pathos and logos to stoke the fear that drives the fascistic imaginary and builds the threat of loss and weakness of whites in America. Thus, Ilhan is projected as the sign and embodiment of the threat and loss of the country."
