From Alarm to Action: Confronting Fascist Consolidation
Episode 25
Sunday, 6 September, 2026
The warnings are becoming more extraordinary, while the response remains remarkably ordinary.As the Trump Regime makes increasingly overt moves around the midterms, Sam talks with historian, author and Refuse Fascism leader Paul Street about where we are now: how far fascist consolidation has advanced, how extraordinary acts become normalized even as more people recognize the danger, and why recognition alone doesn’t necessarily lead to resistance.What accounts for the gap between widespread opposition and sustained action? And what turns recognition of the danger into people acting to stop it?Paul Street is a historian, author, longtime contributor to CounterPunch and a leader of Refuse Fascism. Read his writing at The Paul Street Report on Substack.*This conversation was recorded prior to the AfD victory.Mentioned in this episode: The Latest in the Trump Fascist Assault on Mail-in BallotsWeek of August 30: Atrocities at a Dizzying PaceIt’s the Power, Stupid: Dancing in the Dark, Part 4 by Mark Medish & Joel McClearyText REFUSE to 855-755-1314 or sign up online, follow @RefuseFascism on social media (@RefuseFashizm on TikTok) and our YouTube channel: @Refuse_Fascism.Support:Subscribe to Refuse Fascism on Substackpatreon.com/refusefascismdonate.refusefascism.orgVenmo: Refuse-FascismBuy merch (Big Cartel)Buy merch (Fourth Wall)Music for this episode: Penny the Snitch by Ikebe Shakedown
