John Ganz | What's Happening Here?

For the past decade, there’s been a lively public debate over whether America faces a fascist threat. What have we learned, if anything, from this discussion? Is fascism a living possibility in today’s world or merely a historical phenomenon?

John Ganz is the New York Times best-selling author of When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2024). He writes the Unpopular Front newsletter on Substack, and his work has appeared in The Washington Post, Harper’s Magazine, Artforum, the New Statesman, and other publications.
