"At this point, there is no longer any denying" is a phrase I see political writers using a lot lately (or variations) regarding Trump and/or the GOP. Inevitably, they're referring to things that have long been manifestly obvious and shouldn't have been denied in the first place.

Over and over and over, the people who saw where Trump and the GOP were *clearly, visibly* headed were demeaned as kooks by the people who constructed increasingly elaborate explanations for why what looked like fascism actually wasn't fascism. Now, "at this point," they concur.

We've been Occam's Big Paisley Tie-ed right into fascism, by people who insisted, whether because of an agenda or hubris (or both), that there just *had* to be some other explanation for what looked like Trump and the GOP consolidating power.
