It is Trump blowing off calling it fraud etc, just because he says it doesn't mean it is true

You need to get your facts correct

here is the statement from Carr

Former Labor foreign minister Bob Carr said he was “terrified for America” after four years under President Trump, and for what the future may hold.

“Trump is becoming something other – something more threatening than the authoritarian populist,” Mr Carr said on Q&A.

“He is sowing and has embarked on a campaign, that I think – I’m terrified for America – I think this campaign will run all the way to the 2024 presidential election, undermining faith in institutions that have been in place since the Constitution was approved in 1789.”

Mr Carr added: “The authoritarian populist is transmuting himself into something else, which is a proto-fascist.”

“A proto-fascist, and I choose that term carefully. People throw it around.”

Host Hamish Macdonald asked: “What is a ‘proto-fascist’?”

“He (Trump) is an incipient fascist,” Mr Carr replied.

“What he’s doing now is nothing less than what Hitler did in Germany in the 1920s, which is saying there is a conspiracy that’s robbed the people of their choice.

“It is all fraud, the election has been stolen from us. There is no evidence of this, not the remotest evidence.”

Protofascism is defined by Merriam-Webster as “a political movement or program tending toward or imitating fascism”.

Mr Carr‘s comments referenced Mr Trump’s repeated and unsubstantiated claims since losing the presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden that it was “stolen” from him, and further alleging “major” voter fraud
