Trump; a new Hitler in the making
The professional pundits universally predicted that Donald Trumps White House campaign would crash and burn long before now.
He was, after all, nothing more than a buffoon, clown, self-aggrandizing entertainer, etc… not to mention a racist, bigot, misogynist know-nothing who accidentally became a billionaire because his dear daddy left him a whack of Manhattan real estate.
I imagine it would be hard to miss the Billionaires Club when fate favours you with that sort of break…
Nevertheless, the Trump campaign has unexpectedly grown legs, and the professional political and punditry class is getting worried.
That’s why they’re getting more and more comfortable tossing the “F” word into their speculations.
Fascist.
Yup, Trump is a fascist. Or at least he talks like one. Or he sounds like he might be morphing into one. Or something…
Look around. It’s everywhere these last few days.
The Globe and Mail.
And that doesn’t even scratch the surface.
Yes, Salon is correct; whether leftist or rightist in tone, America’s mainstream news and opinion portals have united as one in labelling Trump a “fascist.”
But what does that mean?
Not much.
Lots of really smart political theorists have spent a lot of ink defining “fascism.” (anybody up for a re-reading of the works of Antonio Gramsci?)
Fascism arrives when the capitalist uber-class and the military-industrial complex and the government policy-makers have melded into one seamless ruling clique. The two nation states most approximating such a condition today would be the USA and Israel.
I think “fascism” is what Ike warned us about in his famous speech about the “military-industrial complex.” Look around… America has more or less arrived at where Ike was hoping it wouldn’t.
And it has arrived thanks to the Democratic and Republican establishments.
Those are your fascists; not the inveterate casino promoter and reality TV star Donald Trump.

Here! Here! And even if he is a tiny bit fascist, is he any worse than Obama who feels he can just bypass the Congress whenever he feels he’s more right than everybody else? That he can ignore the Constitution on a whim? In the end, all dictators are products of the society in which they rise. Germany was broke and battered and being kicked by the rest of Europe when the people finally had enough. Hitler rose to power on the broken dreams and desperation of the German people. Pre-WWII Germany and the current United States can be compared very easily and those comparisons are extremely unsettling. But in the end, Hitler gave the German people what he promised. He gave them hope, jobs, a strong military and then he led them to kick their oppressors in the teeth. It went south rather quickly of course, but from 1932 to probably 1942, Hitler was a savior to the German people. Now I’m not backing fascism or nazism here. Not my point at all. What I am saying is that Trump’s rise is due to the situation the liberal and elites have created. So if he ends up crushing them, then they have no one to blame but themselves and their self-destructive policies. An old saying is that great men do not seek power…but power will demand their presence. This nation and indeed the world, has a leadership vaccuum right now. Putin is filling it. Unless we want to fall to second fiddle then we must find our own Putin. Maybe Trump is him…maybe he’s not. But every day we get a little further behind the Russians.
