Actually, Trump isn't a fascist. Fascism was a phenomenon of the 1930s in Europe. No, Trump is a home-grown American Nationalist. Right wing in a distinctively American way.
uhh, fascism isn't some unique thing that can only appear 100 years ago and never again. trump's nationalism has the exact same underlying values of a strongman restoring a mythological national past by cleansing unwanteds from without and within and requiring unlimited authority to do so
