Is Today's Trumpist GOP Fascist?

More obfuscation from you in an effort to deny the current GOP descent into fascism. Your ignorance of history overlooks the fact that loads of Americans of all stripes supported fascism or communism during the Great Depression. Indeed Hitler drew significant inspiration from earlier American writings on eugenics.

Also I guess you missed the Dear Leader recently announced plans to consolidate power in the presidency if he wins, not to mention the news of indictments of your fellow travelers in Michigan (and the pending indictment of Trump) for their respective roles in the coup attempt.
