Frida Ghitis : It was wrong to treat Donald Trump as a series of absences, Ghitis says.

She says Trump has always been a presence, not an absence: the presence of fascism.

She writes: A fascist is unconcerned with the connection between words and meanings.

Ghitis writes: Fascism wins when the enmity summoned to tell the story itself.

Frida Ghitis: The Big Lie came to life when his followers stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 .

She says the Internet amplifies Trump ’s presence more than any other medium is the Internet.

Ghitis says the old fascism depended on a fantasy of accelerated male prowess, today 's rests on the anxiety of mechanical inability.

Frida Ghitis : The oligarchs bring to our fascism its libertarian entry point: they preach that government is the source of all evil.

She says the people who claim to want individual freedom are the same people who clamor for mass deportations.

Ghitis says it's predictable that Trump will use deportations to divide us, to accustom us to violence and to make accomplices of us.
