The return of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to power has been accompanied by an attack on cities, starting with Washington DC. Drawing upon the literature that seeks to understand Trump and MAGA, this talk examines whether fascist passions, as some have argued, are the motivation for this assault on Washington DC. Identifying a series of moments during Trump’s first term, and with particular focus on the Black Lives Matters clashes of June 2020, this talk seeks to document the emotional reasoning and animating passions driving Trump and the MAGA movement.
