      I think they mean Trump. That section was kind of the low point of the article for sure, though, as partisan-brain seems to take over for a moment. Chomsky does seem to retreat a bit from it later by acknowledging the pretty blanket embrace of neoliberalism and its contribution toward the rise of fascism though:

      There has long been much talk about American decline. To the extent that it is real, the major factor is internal. If we look deeper, much of the internal social decay results from the brutal impact of the neoliberal programs of the past 40 years, topics we’ve discussed before. It’s bad enough when Hungary drifts towards Christian nationalist proto-fascism. When that happens in the most powerful state in world history, the implications are ominous.
