I remember when Trump came down the escalator in June of 2015 and announced he was running, nobody took him seriously. Huffington Post famously said it would report on his campaign in its comedy section. But he soon became the GOP frontrunner and they had to report on him as front page news. Sadly, fascists benefit from silence.
