"Fascism will come to America hugging the flag and wearing a cross"

The famous Italian writer and philosopher
Umberto Eco, list the 14 traits of fa scism in his 1995 essay “Ur-Fa scism." Eco grew up under Mu55olini’s fa scist regime.

• The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fa scist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”

• The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”


• Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”

Trump and his supporters are all for enforcement, but not so much for the law part.

I wouldn't trust Trump if he was the last person on earth.

[Opinionsrnotfacts]

He is such a drama queen. Seriously! How he is held up as the benchmark as an American Alpha Male is beyond me.

MSNBC should rebroadcast “THE COMEY RULE” so Americans can see who trump truly is

Slump is too slow and soft to be an Authoritarian

[beckettman]

Arresting your political opponents is classic dictator.

[lenninyberg]

The Manhattan prosecutors are excellent and put together a compelling argument. The defense was lost and have damaged their reputations heavily…. No truly reputable lawyer would represent an unruly defendant like djt.

[ronaldforsythe]

That's why he doesn't like it he's not in charge

[tootsie]

Check that book - been in that position for months!

[scottcharney]

This is ominous. If you concur, and you're not armed (in whatever forms are feasible/comfortable for you), rectify that immediately! Organize, and spread the word. The MAGAts are.
