I just don't understand why fascism is rising all over the world like this. It's looking like WWIII will have multiple Hitlers, one in Washington, one in Brasilia, and one in Manila at a minimum.
Yes Trump is bad but comparing him to Hitler, Mussolini or any fascist leader is absolutely false. Yes Trump's rhetoric is horrible and he is a terrible person but he is not a dictator. Actions wise the Patriot Act was far more authoritarian than anything Trump has doneThis, though Bolsonaro worries me a bit more than Trump cause the USA have a much stronger Democratic tradition, and because he's talking about deforesting the Amazon rainforest for economic purposes. But please it's an insult to the victims of fascists to compare some current world leaders you don't like to them.
Yes, i hope it was just campaiging that he did. Trump at least would've never said something like this. He would ridiculize Democrats, make fun of them, be unrespectful and politically incorrect about them, but he would never talk about "purging Dems" or the left. I guess we will just have to wait.
