Frida Ghitis: Donald Trump is a fascist who wants to overthrow the U.S. democratic system of government.

She says he is a convicted felon, a twice impeached, four -times-indicted con man and fraudster.

Ghitis says the special counsel who charged Trump in connection with the January 6 insurrection and his illegal efforts to stay in power reminded Americans of the threat that Trump poses.

Julian Zelizer : Trump 's campaign this year is just one long racist rant against immigrants.

He says he traffics in racist tropes and conspiracy theories pulled from alternate reality where immigrants kidnap and eat cats.

Trump 's most dangerous supporters are Christian nationalists, a growing cadre of evangelicals who don't believe in separation of church and state.

Julian Zelizer : Christian nationalists want Putin to win the war and crush Ukraine .

He says they want the U.S. to withdraw from NATO to end American support for "woke" Western Europe .

Zelizer says Trump is likely to go along with Putin and abandon both Ukraine and NATO , leaving Western Europe on its own.
