  Fascism is notoriously difficult to define. There’s a huge amount of contention on it among historians, but one definition I like is Rodger Griffin’s. In his definition the core ideology of fascism is

  (i) the rebirth myth (ii) populist ultra-nationalism (iii) the myth of decadence

  I think the MAGA movement pretty transparently meets all 3. The rebirth myth is literally in its name, the movement is pretty openly populist and ultra-nationalist, and decadence is how they describe their enemies (e.g. their rhetoric around trans and queer folk).

  I don’t think many people aware of the history of Planned Parenthood would argue Margaret Sanger didn’t advocate eugenics, including Planned Parenthood

  www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/…/our-history

  “Margaret Sanger’s racism and belief in eugenics are in direct opposition to Planned Parenthood’s mission. Planned Parenthood denounces Margaret Sanger’s belief in eugenics. Further, Planned Parenthood denounces the history and legacy of anti-Blackness in gynecology and the reproductive rights movement, and the mistreatment that continues against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color in this country.”

  Turns out that an organization can engage in self reflection and change beliefs over a century
