If right of center is now defined as fascist does that mean left of center is officially defined as socialist now?
Trump isn't "right of center" in any remotely sane context.
Correct. Trump is a moderate.On a number of issues, he is. At least when compared to the popular alternatives of Generic R or Generic D. He is also a fascist. That word gets over-used as a meaningless slur in public discourse, but it
does have a meaning in political science, and Trump and his supporters fit Griffin's definition of fascism very well. Whether Trump would be any good at actually creating a fascist government, I don't know, but he's been pretty successful campaigning as a fascist.
I don't mean this as a generic put-down of Trump. I actually like some of the directions he takes the conversation in comparison to the stock or religious-nut types of Republicans. But I am very nervous about him experiencing any sort of political success because the shape of his politics is fascist in the technical sense, and I see very little good being the end result of any government based on fascist ideology.
