MY TURN: Fascist takeover should be front-page news
On Nov. 9, 2024, I wrote an article titled “A River Runs Through It.” In this article, I included several warnings about the Trump presidency, and sadly, every one of those warnings has come true. As I stated in the piece, “Buckle up, Buttercup, here comes fascism.” Many people may have ignored that warning, but here we are today.
Coeur d'Alene can be a peculiar place. It’s a tourist town filled with enjoyable events and generally beautiful weather, creating a sense of being in a bubble. While the world grapples with the rise of fascism, we’re caught up in parades, art festivals, fairs and more. In previous years, I would have felt good about these happenings, but now they seem like a Band-Aid on an ever-growing wound.
