@Strandjunker Godwin's Law in action.

The parallels here are paltry at best. Trump is a geriatric spoilt playboy more prone to being used by the machine than any charismatic, energetic powerful leader (which all the fascists had some claim to) and he doesn't have control of the military or interior police (FBI and more). He has no desire to recapture lost lands, only to build a wall and isolate. He has no desire to purify the racial stock of one of the most genetically diverse nations on earth. He's just a bumbling egotistical nincompoop who happens to appear to be to many the only escape they have from "the system" and "business as usual". I say "seems to many to be" as all of politics (most saliently in democratic contexts - and don't come the fool and play that foolish old, "it's not a democracy it's a republic" card) is about image management. And it speaks volumes for the entrenched oligarchs (you sure you don't have another Bush, or Clinton or Kennedy to elect?) and their cohort that a bumbling misogynistic self-centred rich-kid turned senile geriatric actually poses a popularity threat to them. Might be time they woke up, what?
