About the Book: This book argues that fascism has returned to Europe-not through swastikas or coups, but through MAGA hats, extremist memes, and normalized far-right rhetoric that has helped some parties outpace traditional conservative and social democratic rivals. Examining how fascism hollows out democracies from within, starting with language and elections rather than violence, the book asks how citizens are mobilized and how normalization occurs-and what can be done to stop the trend before it deepens further across the continent.
