What was said

""the very first time I was asked to do this debate, I think I asked to change the topic to is Trump a threat to democracy? And then the answer was no. So kind pondered it for a little bit.""

LonerBox tells the audience he originally sought to reframe the event away from a definitional ‘fascism’ question towards whether Trump is ‘a threat to democracy’. He says he later read more on academic definitions of fascism and concluded Trump fits key traits.
