      Trump is not exactly a fascist, at least not much more than any US president is fascistic. Trump at the end of the day is not a break from american politics, he is a more populist in rhetoric, liberal capitalist. He is fascistic in the sense that the logical endpoint of liberalism is fascism. There are undeniable fascist elements in Trump's campaign, Vance gives me serious Italian futurism vibes. The makeup of the American state and economy has not changed so radically, Trump is more just the country saying the quiet part out loud

      I think I first realized this when Felix was talking about the Governor Whitmer "plan", when he asked if this is fascism then what the fuck was the shit under Bush?
