Since 2016, Steigmann-Gall has turned his attention to the question of fascism in the United States. He published a scholarly article named "Star-Spangled Fascism"^[4] in the journal Social History that explores the traditions of American historical writing and the ways in which the American far right in the period between World War I and II can be called fascist in spite of these traditions. For the last several years, he has turned to public commentary on the question of fascism in contemporary American politics. His articles on this can be found in Tikkun,^[5] the Huffington Post,^[6] Politico,^[7] and Jacobin.^[8]
