Trump is accurately described as a fascist, yes. He's more Mussolini than Hitler though.

Wouldn't post-fascist be yet more accurate than fascist?  Unlike 20th century Fascist revolutionaries and like National Front and similar European parties, he doesn't advocate establishing dictatorial rule in place of present institutions, but rather, pushing democracy to its limits within a country's present constitutional framework.

Also, I probably should have been more careful with my phraseology, but yes, your rebuttals are valid.  He still does not strike me as Hitleresque, though.

Are you sure that "he doesn't advocate establishing dictatorial rule in place of present institutions"?

It is hyperbole to call Trump Hitler.

He is however the American version of Silvio Berlusconi as someone else on here previously has pointed out.

He never was.

That comparison is ridiculous. Hitler was a war criminal and mas murder. TRUMP is a smart guy, who is just not politically correct.


He openly preaches hate and spreads falsehoods about ethnic minorities though.

Trump is not Hitler. But if he was, he still would be.

Hitler was neither of those things in 1932, either. We know already Trump openly aspires to commit war crimes (I mean, he literally does)...

No, Trump is a right wing progressive fascist moderate. Hitler was a right wing regressive fascist extremist. Big difference.

People who compare Trump to Hitler don't have a clear understanding of either individual.

Bingo.

Negative Ghostrider.

Fascism is defined by an autocracy or dictatorship ruling an ultra-nationalist state with no democratic process and no public criticism allowed.

Trump seeks none of these things.

Mild and dilute fascist at best. But not an actual fascist in the true meaning of the word.

Trump is a populist and a defensive nationalist.

I like your description of Hitler better.

He was never Hitler in the first place.

People who compare Trump to Hitler don't have a clear understanding of either individual. In addition, it's more than a little scary to see the effectiveness of hammering on a point until it becomes embedded in the corporate consciousness of a population, and folks begin to parrot the point without giving it any thought whatsoever.

A+


Funny how the same people that worship  Bernie or 08 Obama dont apply the same Hitler nonsense.
